Team Sky Schwag grab - we have a winner!
Some lush goodies from yesterday swanky team launch in London
Team Sky Musette
Unprecented levels of notebook desire meant that the random number generator had to work overtime this week, but when the chiselled wooden ball rolled down the overtly-complex system of channels a la Minority Report, the name etched into the side was...
dannyg!
Congratulations danny, get in touch and we'll pop off all the Sky goodies. Next up is a classic racing book and calendar combo, usual rules apply... get commenting!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two Schwag grabs this week, well it's January and the first week back after the hols and we all need cheering up. Both Schwag grabs will be timely in their own way. And first up it's some instant memorabilia from yesterday's Team Sky launch – a Team Sky goodie bag.
As you'd expect from such a high tone professional outfit the goodie bag from yesterday’s team launch is a classy piece of kit. A natty Sky musette (hardly creased at all after being stuffed in Tony's rucksack for the journey home) contains a set of postcards of all the Sky riders plus info cards on the team and their equipment. That team bus will be a Volvo 9700 dontcha know equipped with nine Rider Stations – Estaban fully reclining coach seats with electronic calf support with a Sky box under each one for “individual rider channel selection” (well it wasn't going to be Freeview was it?); there's also mood lighting created in consultation with Dr Steve Peters the team psychiatrist… boy they really are keen on the detail. Our only worry is that they won't want to get off.

Yeah, there's a card about the bike too, and the Sky's team mission statement, The Line. Oh, and a useful race schedule for 2010 – we've already marked our calendar. The best bit though is the very lovely Moleskine notebook, it pains us to give that away, but for you…

Anyway usual Schwag Grab rules apply, one entry only, and you enter by commenting below. The road.cc random number generator will pluck a lucky winner from the list on Friday afternoon when we'll also launch another Schwag Grab.
I'd quite like the notebook on its own. Wonder if they'll put them in the online shop when it opens.

I reckon Team Sky is going to make this year's racing a whole hell of a lot more interesting, especially with the knock on effects of some of the 'shuffling'
Will be interesting to see how it pans out for them.
Nice, I could use it track how deep the snow gets.
Could use the postcards to insulate the walls from this cold!
do you think i could do my shopping with the musette?
Love that Moleskine...didn't realise you could get custom ones made.
How many moles sacrificed their "skines" to make that, I wonder 
if i was to win what would i do with it..ah i know flog it at the bike jumble for an inflated amount! cool.
Oh that looks really nice. Especially the moleskine
Lovin' Sky's branding overall.
It would not pain me at all to recieve such skin of moles.
Yes please note book will come in handy record miles soon as it stops snowing
The whole sky team/marketing is a brilliant exercise in brand design - it makes all other pro teams seem amateur.
So I'd love a piece of UK cycling and design history please
Need a new Moleskiene
As a collector, avid user of moleskine notebooks that would be lovely please.
Pity they couldn't spare you a bike. Nevertheless the notebook looks good.
The team colours look excellent, especially on that Moleskine B)
Sky is the limit! Yes please
Very nice
I need the cards as I'm planning on developing a pro-tour Top Trumps game.
Hoping Team Sky do well, praying Sky TV dont monopolise cycling like they do football.
Downhill bikes don't make you cool.
It's all looking good isn't it. Yes please!
ooh lovely, count me in B)
The notebook would match my country gent-style trousers
Ridire
LOVE the bag! B)
"Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints".
After the awful jumper from the inlaws at xmas these goodies would make up for the disappointment.
Yes please, top prize...
Me, me, meeeee
Me, me, me! Out-raphas even Rapha bits and bobs for style IMHO. I already have a part used Moleskin so need a new one and being on Jobseekers I'm too poor to buy one so a (ultra stylish) freebie would be much appreciated.
I like the moleskine but the goody bag would be just as good, count me in
Me please would like to re-learn to hand write!
I want the musette, so that people will mistake me for Wiggo when I'm out on long training rides.

this would be very handy to keep track of road cc movements
One of the moleskin books would make a nice training diary! B)
Team Sky spoke cards!!!!
I was only thinking the other day "What I really need is a new moleskin notebook. And if it came in its own bag..."
Sweet! But surely Bradley ain't gonna be wearing a BLACK jersey on that long hot climb up the Tourmalet this year!
Mmmm schwag!
I just love Moleskin stuff, it harks back to a time of more gentlemanly conduct. I'll have the rest if needs be too, thanks.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
Yes please!
ooh... me too...
Nice goodies. Yes please.
B) Nice goodies but i am surprised there is only one bus!!!!
Great team colours, yes please
I was about to go and buy myself another moleskine notebook; the one I'm on is nearly full. Might wait a short while longer, that one with the blue elastic looks the 'nads.
yoyo
Please send me the swag as I think I am the only person who thinks the Sky team bikes and kit look very cool 
All the riders have to do is race - should be easy;-)
I did ask for a Sky Moleskin notebook for christmas but no one could could get one, please make my wish come true!!
Just shows how Team Sky will revolutionise both international cycling and cycling in the UK
I'd really love to win - won an invite for Monday's ride but had to pull out due to work commitments - gutted.
Looking forward to having a british Team to cheer on again! Can't wait! See you all in France this summer!
Addicted to pedaling
Nice kit.
Here's hoping the Sky team fulfill even a fraction of their hopes and expectations....
nice designs - would love some!
yum, moleskin...
What more can I say that hasn't been said already?
Moleskine or moleskin? who cares it looks really cool.
Please let it be me!
Pleeeeaaase.
Count me in please!
There's clearly a thin blue line between keeping your notebook closed and failure. Count me in.
Freeview does the job but I won't say no....
Murdoch me up!
Gimee, gimee, gimee........please
I thought I wouldn't be such a fanboy!
two wheels good; four wheels bad
I'd be Sky-high if I won this!
Aight.
yes please
oooooooo that's natty!
go on team sky
Is the bus included in the goodie bag?
count me in please!
yes, yes, yes ......... please
(I think it is going to be a good year)
This rates as one of the best schwags. Me, please.
How many moles died to make that
I was gutted to not make the ride, but I'm sure that a schwag bag would go some way to easing the pain
Who are Team Sky? Have they been in the news or something?
I would quite like the bag and notebook, please.
Is it the skin from a mole from garmin team wanting the inside info on a soon to be top team http://road.cc/sites/all/modules/smileys/packs/Yahoo!/devil.gif
Polly
I am loving Team Sky stuff. I need one of those dogmas bad.
Ok thanks. cheers. Happy new year. thanks yes.
ta
A Brit team at last
When I was young and in my prime any old bag would do,
But now I’m old and wiser now and would like a new one,
Preferably black and blue.
antonio
Very nice, I'll take them off you!
Oh Oh one for me please as I couldnt make the ride
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
This lot don't have any excuses.
Cyclista Lunatica
'Tis jolly nice stuff!
moleskine, eh?....oohe yessse.......
Do I want Team Sky schwag? Oh yes, I do. And not to flog on Ebay either
It must be my turn soon!!!!
Please put me in the hat lads
My son would love this stuff.
Stuart Duncan
great gift...only need to find a sky jersey now
Fantastic bad of swag, would love to win that.
I want a Volvo bus!
Great prize
The colour's are reminiscent of Rapha. Clean and simple. Less is more. I like them alot!
Don't you see the irony here, from Garmin GPS to moleskine maps!
yes please boss
Some cool stuff there I could find a use for!
Felix
I could do with the Wiggins postcard to launch the Wiggins winter warmer
Holy Moleyskin Batman !!Sounds like Jonboy needs some schwag !!!
Jonboy B)
Nicely understated in a raphaesque way - yes please!
yup, count me in
Oooh yes please. B)
"Hot porridge for breakfast - yummy."
Perhaps the random number generator will be attracted by a random comment...
here's to a blue new year!
If it didn't make it hard to write in it, I would cut off my hand for that Moleskine notebook !!
Love it, and for those who reckon the jerseys are naff, who doesn't love Black and Sky Blue ?? Absolutely wicked.
I cannot think of a finer way to use a mole
Allez oop
Maybe National Express should take note of the team bus before they order their next fleet!
would it count as a man bag?
The notebook is lovely I'm in, although teh way theu've treated Gar,in and Katusha is far from sporting.
I guess it would be rude not to
Yes please I never have enough bags
Perfect to compensate for too many socks from Santa: something I want.
Hmmmm, moley.
I really want to see the new signing Christopher Biggins so send me the kit.
Come on man I have to win something eventually.
This collectors items is just the thing....
Bud
Satellite of love
hi- cadence
Fingers crossed as usual
Loving the Sky branding - very classy compared to most in the peloton.Wouldn't mind the opportunity to provide them with a bit of free advertising with the musette over my shoulder 
My first post I would like all the goodies too
Hoping this year is as lucky as last year, and it does all look super cool... especially the notebook
Me please!
I suppose I could always burn the postcards for some much needed warmth...
Team Sky could really be a change in recent cycling history.
It'd be nice to own such a nice piece of it...
oooh, notebook.
Got my name written all over it.....
ooh, very nice...I wish I was a journo now !!
From a marketing perspective, it's good to see Team Sky have run with high quality partners/sponsors for their merchandise. Here's hoping the riders put in performances of the same calibre in 2010.
Good bling for club nights in draughty village halls.
Bring me sunshine, and dry roads
Hmmm, lovely package (& packaging) - I'm sure the sponsors will be pleased to hear it even tempts me to get a dish to watch it all! (Expecting to see significant coverage improvement!)
Oooh... pretty. Yes, please.
Would make a nice belated Christmas present!
My moles are a bit raw.
When do you draw for the Jag? Good branding on the Notebook with the thin blue line. I'll be able to aggregate my marginal gains.
Michael Shires
Exceptional. I'm not a Murdoch fan by any means, but I sure am a Wiggins fan. So, best of luck to Team Sky this year. And send the swag to Florida, please!! B)
Javier Gonzalez
Miami, Florida
Ah go on. It'd be better if it was Garmin, but you can't beat free stuff 
Me too please, but the bus won't fit on the drive!
We're all bike tarts and the Sky blue matches my eyes ...
Safe miles,
Mark

Mmm nice.

Yes please, it'd be nice to win something as it's a new decade!
A ride a day keeps the frown away!
Hey Random Number Generator I'm the Winner *Jumps in the air waving his arms*
Yes please.
Loving the Moleskin!
Hey you guys, I would like to enter the Swag Grab. Looks like Team Sky gonna be a winner this season, what a line-up! Other teams will have to watch their backs!
"cycling makes the world a better place"
enter me for the schwag!
Great kit, yes please. Any chance of throwing in the new bike too please . .

Helping to save young lives
Made with real mole?
Pretty please
Wow that's a very professional goody bag.
Love the new colours......best of luck to the team
Tony, couldn't you have taken a Pinarello for me please?
poor planning on my part, next time I'll bring a bigger bag
Think the Sky kit is terrific.
Despite Evidence to the contrary Ink still makes its mark on paper script-(psst- pass it on to the IT literate youngsters) I'll do my bit if I get the notebook.
Great marketing but there is too many brands now who have black as the backdrop or main component. I think they should have gond to Alexander McQueen or Viv Westwood and then we would have got some really interesting stuff.
mmmmmmmmmm Moleskine, soft touchy nice.
schwag to keep, not to stick on ebay and flog for a handsome profit!
Is it really made out of Moleskin?
well, 'skine' to be exact… whatever bit of a mole that might be
wow great stuff and here's hoping ...
I'd love one of these, ta..
won't get one mind..
Yes Please. And a seat on the bus too, if you can fix it.
Pale Ale
I'm liking the look of the Schwag! as it turns out, i'm alergic to all kinds of notebook except moleskin ones, strange but true!!!!!
dan Daren't But He Did anyway
Ooooh, yes please!
Hey count me in!!! B)
Can't wait to see the team in action.
That notebook looks great!
A nice shade of blue, like the sky used to be before winter arrived.
A moleskin notebook? I wear moleskin trousers but I've never heard of anything so outlandish. I want one just to see that it's real.
kaz
that note book would be sooooo good for my training
records. I would KNOW I was ready for the sportives
with that 
I love my Nanolight 
I would give some money to the homeless if i won this
Yes please!
i dont really need it but if its free....................

Bradley "Two Jags" Wiggins
The kit is great, don't know why people don't like it. From the commercial point of view you cannot mistake it for anything else at all, and having rider names on the side is a brilliant idea
Can I have the schwag please
Throw my hat in the ring please 
yes please
ibby
I'll have a bit of that. Count me in. Lovely.
Yes please, count me in.
You can never have too many Moleskines, for a start, and the rest of the schwag isn't too bad either.
Woah there are lots of comments on this one! Lets hope for another stroke of luck for me
All the gear and no idea!
Too late for this one?!
Like the thin fine line...
Team Sky - yeah! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Derek
Oo, yes please!

Notebook, bag and swap cards - ideal to go back to school with!
(If only I wasn't in my early thirties...)
How many moles were used to make the notepad?
whats the hell is "moleskin" anyway?? Is it made from real moles?? errgh!
meeee plleeeeaassseee !!!!!!!!!!!!
jasonchatty31
I'm in it to win it. Any chance of a Pinarello Dogma on the side? thought not...
count me in
Ill take two!
Everyone would be sooooo envious!
flashy launch but its the results that matter. Can't see them in either the classics or the big tours. Let's hope the big stars have chosen the right team members to work for them
nice.
Ah go on, go on, go on, go on.....
B) Great looking merchandise!

Spoke cards!!!
