    I've always wondered why a cyclist would go to a lot of trouble working out
    his arms.

    Now I know. Lead-weighted gloves that take a lot of effort to lift when you
    do your victory salute.

    What makes you think a cyclist works out his arms? And you better not
    point to that photo on the above link.

    He didn't so much make the design as butcher the Northwave logo.

    They're just trying to remove the stigma of training in all black and
    visually non-descript kits...

    You underestimate the horror of the sale-rack Performance
    jersey designs.

    I don't mind it. It's minimalist, which is OK, or maybe means that
    Stapleton hasn't succeeded in rounding up as many sponsors
    as clutter the Lotto jersey in the background.

    But it doesn't matter. Any jersey looks good in a victory salute.
    Okay, any jersey but Castorama.

    That's actually a great looking jersey. Most if not all pro jerseys
    today have complicated micro-designs that do not translate well to
    spectators watching a peloton go by.

    Jerseys with simple macro-designs such as La vie Claire, System U,
    Mapei, Rabobank are much better.

    I like this Team High Horse design.

    Its funny that some folks think that the logos on the jerseys should
    be designed such that they're visible to the spectator. Unless your
    rider is doing matched sprints, old school-style complete w/
    trackstand, then he better NOT be going slowly enough that the
    spectators can read the damn logos.

    Jersey designs should be done in such a way that the logos are readily
    visible in finish line photos such as the one linked by the OP or in
    podium presentation pix.

    Everything else is just a blur.

    yeah, those shots of the peloton zipping through fields of sunflowers
    are so conducive to picking out logos on jerseys.

    Hey Party Boy....99% of the time, the camera is travelling at the same
    speed as the cyclists they are filming, maybe 10 feet from them at most.
    Why did you pick the 1% when it's not?
