Current mood: WOOF

It's the cycling off season, and as I start the sale of my cycling memorabilia stock, the pro teams are revving up on their training camps in readiness for the 2009 season...
Yes boss, it's set to be a SUPER year in cycling...!!!
The Giro D'Italia will be hotly contested by the best field in years, including the likes of Armstrong, Contador, Sastre, Basso, Cunego and maybe even Evans.
The centenary edition will start with a time trial in Venice, before moving on through the Prosecco region, over the Dolomites and Alps, through Milan b4 finishing in Rome for the first time in aroundabout 20 years...
With such a monumentous field and innovative parcours, it goes without saying that the first absurd thing the Giovannis will be attending too (come the Little Gs birthday) will be acquiring a baby passport, so as to enable the viewing of the first few stages of this epic race...
The Giro aside, the main team to watch all year will be the Kazakh squad, Astana...
Yes boss, Astana have so many top riders (Armstrong, Contador, Vinokourov, Leipheimer, Kloden, Popovych etc), the other big teams might as well not bother to try and win any of the major tours...
It's a remarkable turn around - Astana were persona non-grata last year after a spate of doping problems, but this year THEY'RE BACK BIG TIME!!! with a team (who've never taken drugs) that fields more or less everyone who's a serious contender and proven winner for the top awards...
They're the cycling equivalent of Barcelona + Real Madrid + Man Utd & Juventus rolled into one...?!?!?
Well, a great team, they might well prove to be, but one thing that's less dominating in the Astana set up is their team kit...
Yes boss, take a look at this picture of the team presentation....
Lance Armstrong is of course wearing is own ego LIVESTRONG yellow and black kit (as a 7 time Tour De France comeback winner can) (LOOK HE'S ALREADY STANDING IN THE MIDDLE!!! CONTADOR ALREADY HATES HIM!!!)...
But Contador and Kloden seem to be afflicted with a rather nasty lederhosen dark blue apron design...?!?!?
SO, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ALL ABOUT????
IS IT A CLEVER ANTI DOPING DIVERSIONARY PROTOCOL STRATEGY???
OR JUST THE SEXY BLUE SKIRT PANTS WAY TO GET AHEAD????
