I wonder why the UCI isn't enforcing the sock height rule, as the dutch guy in the last pictures is clearly well above it. At that point, they might as well allow compression socks that reach the knee and be done with it.
Just as high as the French rider, and the German and Polish in the picture above? I believe the rule is 1/3rd of the leg has to be visible, or is it a different rule?
About the Dutch bikes, all the sprinters from the Dutch national selection ride on Koga's but the one on the Avanti in the picture is riding for BEAT cycling and not for the national selection.
With the exception of the team pursuit, I think all riders who ride in a road team ride on that brand of track frames if the brand has one, that's also why the biggest mess of brands is on the points race, where most endurance riders are. I don't think specialized has a (good) frame, which causes Viviani to ride an unlabeled Pina. Niki Terpstra also rides an unlabeled black track frame during the six days in the winter.
