Here's (http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2004/giro04/index.php?id=stage5/10) where they say it's for pain. Maybe it helps as much as that wrist band he wears :rolleyes:

I'm not so sure this is a product so much as a taping pattern that provides support to the knee and, I think, the illotibial band. This is a similar pattern of taping to the one Bartoli wore when he was rehabilitating his knee. The pink tape is maybe just color matched to the maglia rosa.
