black is the new ass ugly.

spring time is coming, and the bike races are starting.

and you know what that means! time to check out all the new pro kits for the 2007 season! oh boy!

let me tell you, black is so in right now.

csc started it with the "we're too lame to have enough sponsors, so we have black shorts", which was a funny joke until they started winning races and soon had plenty of sponsors.



for 2007, other teams are jumping on the trend.

teams like discovery, navigators, and health net have darkened the kits this year.







i thought black was "too hot" for cycling?

whatever.

in more colorful news, some teams have taken some rather bold clothing steps.

cofidis, for example, has spent several years as the pro pelotons worst dressed team, but they came out the year in fancy red costumes and started taking names.



good for them!

and lotto went pink! i bet pvp wishes he had stayed now!
sweet. not since the days of o.n.c.e. in the tour...


and check out the major shift in colovita colors!



oh, and i won't speak on the slipstream-chipolte kits... but good luck to them.



best kit in the peloton?

that's easy!

the old stand-by:




credit agricole!
