    I think I read somewhere that Ball was having different kit designed for each race they participate in, or something outrageous like that.

    I have to admit that I think their kit is so much more fun to look at than any other team's (but only since Chipotle toned down the argyle).

    I just can't take this team seriously. I see them as a novelty act...like Tiny Tim or Carrot Top.

    The thing that's a shame about that is that there are some talented riders on that team. I hope that it doesn't end up derailing their careers.

    Can't have too many!! First time I'd seen this particular kit.

    I like all the different kits Rock has; and some races have special ones. You can go to the Rock website & see how many they have for sale! Too rich for my wallet, though.

    Rock's alright in my book. If they were in a race nearby, I'd go see them. While I'd like to see dopers out of the support, I'm in favor of due process and actually admire Ball for standing up for his riders.

    Just the opposite of what's happening to Beltran. Already pretty much crucified by his team and the B test isn't back yet. I'd like to see the employee who leaked the test get fired or pay back his/her salary (it's what the riders have to do). Better yet, expect everyone at the lab to voluntarily resign a la kicking out an entire team. The riders ain't the only ones that are dirty, IMO.

    Steps off soapbox.

    They had some pretty cool ones for racing in Austin. They also seem to sponsor some part of every race they do so they can get their name said a lot.

    It would be really cool if they painted the BIKES to match too!

    Nice.... I'm confused however... I thought that their bike sponser was Cannondale? In both pics, they are riding Derosa's, any ideas anyone?
