I haven't explored the other stuff on this site and, hence, have no
comment.

Dear Werehatrack,

The heck with the shoes, where'd those guys get those really
evil-looking helmets?

With the riders' heads down, the helmets look like the
oncoming offspring of a smiley-face/evil-pumpkin shotgun
marriage.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

Synchronicity denied, one of them isn't wearing his booties.

Yellow shorts? Really guys, can we please not do that.

Let us be glad that bike racing sponsorships have not taken the turn
that has put interesting paint jobs on some NASCAR entries.

The white, yellow and light blue shorts are quite enough. I'd rather see a bike
racer with a Jeff Gordon color scheme than Junior Johnson in yellow lycra.

LOL at the wood-effect helmet for 2006. Maybe wood-effect TVs will be
back in again soon.

And then there was that driver who briefly got handed a coverall from
P&G's marketing folks; it would have been better if the product had
been Tide.
