Dec 14th it seems

talking about Sunweb, it seems they´ll be very strict and not show anything until Jan 1st. even though on Matthews instagram stories you can spot his Cervelo

Terpstra was on Paris Roubaix circuit last week with 5 people from Willier, two for the wheels and 2 for the tires.
In short he feed back they are missing stiffness on the frame and wheels and don’t want the team to use discs.

Looks like tubeless gripton. So first command that is not going to run tubes in 2019?
Probably these are their new trainingbikes which stay at home all year?

it gets better - my 'neighbour' has a jacket from Etxe.. I noticed it today morning.. he buys his stuff online though, and I'm pretty sure you won't find their clothes where I live. perhaps some boutique shops in the country sell it, but I really haven't seen that logo or name before. same goes with most brands you'll easily find in your shops.. that's partly why I've been stuck with Nalini for so long..

What's important here is that anything Basque is cool, spare the the ETA of olden days.

Their story from the Tour was pretty cool too.

So many of the QS Tarmacs have the seatpost flipped forward for minimal offset.
Don't take me too seriously. The only person that doesn't hate Froome.

I really rate Etxeondo gear to be fair. Their bibs with the reinforced sides in case you crash are very good (although I've never crashed in them). From what it looks like they also make a huge range of special gear for sunweb. The aerodynamic long ribbed sleeves also look great and are no doubt fast.

Guess that’s when we’ll find out if it’s all been Sky-hate or Froome-hate or just plain old nationalism all along.

Great news! Would be fantastic if Tinkov came in and sponsored the Team.
