Predictor-Lotto
As I guess everyone knows, Davitamon has said their vitamins have gotten all the publicity they need, and their pregnancy kits need a boost.
Has anyone seen the new pink "outfits" Predictor-Lotto will be riding? As my wife said, "They're going to be the little sticks women pee on!"
I'm not attacking the color pink here. I just like the idea of them advertising for a pregnancy test. I'm sure a lot of women will say, "They won a bike race, so I'll choose them to test whether I'm pregnant."

Well at least they didn't go with pink shorts. Overall it's not as bad I had expected...actually the color looks more like 'peach' than pink but that could just be the photograph.

Hmmm . . . That's not bad at all, really. Certainly it's not as bad as it might have been, I guess.
I looked up Predictor on the web and their color is a peachy pink rather than a Pepto Bismol pink.

I think those are bad to the bone...really.
I'd wear those with pride, I think they did a great job with what they had to work with.

It's not peach and it's not pink. It's salmon.

I like the ironic juxtaposition of a pregnancy test and a lottery, though. Either way, you're taking your chances!

If I had the aero profile of a baseball bat, I could be a TT champ too. That being said, I take comfort in knowing that I can open my own jar of mayonnaise.

Awesome....on a par with the best gear available. The Noah is one of the most advanced frames in production....but you'll pay for all that costly R&D!!

I've heard a few stories about the Lotto team breaking a very high number of carbon bikes in 05 from people in a position to know.
No idea about the newer frames.
