Happy to see Astana picking up the asymmetry Movistar has left behind.

don't know about that big stripe across the back, looks a bit odd to me but we'll have to wait and see I guess

Random question, generally what is on those nose plugs riders have in their nostrils warming up before TTs? Menthol? Eucolyptus or something?

Just nose holes widener. Bigger holes-more air :)

Really? I doubt that. I understand the nose strips holding the nostrils more open, I use them myself, but plugs up there before I don't see that having a lasting effect over a long distance. Your nostril will go back to normal size very quickly once removed.

The nose plugs actually have some type of liniment or menthol concoction to help open & clear the airways...pro's have been doing this for decades...
