We did this in the blog last year but everyone else has jumped on and done it already in 2011… I suppose I should be sharper and stop working/preparing to be a Dad for 5 minutes 😉

But hey! why change a winning formula.. so what does everyone think of the 2011 kits then?

It pains me to say it but the best of the lot for me has to been Radioshack…

…I know, I know. It stands for a lot more than a cycling jersey and you are either pro or anti Lance. But as well as feeding my addiction for ‘tweeting’ by having a Twitter logo on (http://www.twitter.com/jimmythecuckoo) it is actually a really smart kit.

So it could be on the shopping list with that patriotic nod to Team Sky being put on hold !

What does everyone else think?

+1 for Leopard Trek, probably
+1 for Leopard Trek, probably has an advantage by not having a big old sponsor’s logo plastered all over it.

Quite like the Movistar too (and at least with the green helmets they’ll be easy to pick out).

There are a fair few shockers in there this year, mind.

Yeah. The Radio Shack kit
Yeah. The Radio Shack kit does look good. Stood out well on TV during TDU as well. Ultimately though I’d say Team Sky have the strongest. Remember the days when Formula One teams typically had one sponsor? The cars looked so much better. What was more beautiful or cohesive than a JPS-Lotus, an Elf-Tyrrell or indeed a Durex-Surtees? The same goes for cycling kit – too many big logos dilute the look.

I like the Euskaltel-Euskadi
I like the Euskaltel-Euskadi kit, as it is so bold.
And HTC has gone backwards. Its so much worse than last year with the silly vertical stripe. X(

Mountain bikes have become little stale, so we need more bikes like Canyon’s sci-fi Lux Era

Anti-pedal kickback devices may just be a sticky plaster slapped onto high-engagement freehubs

Erm - it has - as per the item above: (Technically, a 'budget cap' and a 'team salary cap' aren't quite the same thing, but given how much of the costs are paying riders, it would have a similar effect.)

A lot of pro sports leagues have team salary caps. Curious that hasn't been mooted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salary_cap

Well your original comment did rather suggest that was your understanding. The bit 'critiquing' the pros and cons was sandwiched in the middle of railing against the makers. And the amount of ill-thought-out tripe that gets posted under some of these reviews, it wouldn't surprise me at all if someone thought the manufacturer provided the pros and cons.

JB may not bé Mr Nice but in this case he's 100% right. I thought when Lappartient was elected he knew sod all about pro cycling and his real ambitions were related to running thé Olympics.

@mdavidford Well duh, is a manufacturer going to put negative comments on their own products? did you really just try to explain that?

Surely Fred Wright's going to win a race in his career that isn't the national champs. He's been close so many times now.

Awful human slags off Machiavellian politician -shock horror.

The pros and cons come from the reviewer, not the manufacturer. And they do explain in the review why they think the lack of MIPS could be viewed as either/both a positive or a negative. Less so with the shape, but it's easy to see how that could be considered a good or a bad thing, depending on whether it suits your head shape. If anything, it's a deficiency of the review template - that it doesn't have a section for something like 'other considerations' that aren't pros or cons.

Could always reduce the size of Pogačar - shrink him down by about half - that might level things up a bit.

Why is the Cube Litening Aero, The Specialized Tarmac and the Van Rysel RCR-PRo marked with a (TBC) pricetag but the Canyon Aeroad isnt considering the teams will no doubt ALL be riding the new as of yet unreleased CFR? The price of a currently superceded (as far as the pro peloton are concerned) looks cheap but its a 2 year old model. The new one is as unreleased as the other 3 bikes.
