it's become fairly common for riders to have custom bits and bobs (think garzelli's helmet, bettini's helmet, contador's bike, evan's bike, etc). besides, he's not paid for astana, so he has no obligation to promote them, he's only obligated to race within UCI rules/regs regarding kit.
i think that was part of the problem. lance was allowed to promote his own agenda, wear his own kit and he thought he was above the team, not part of it.
lance might have been good for racing in general and for cancer victims but he has been a disruptive force for astana.
