2021 PRO thread

[Giant DK]

Is it only me that would prefer to have a PRO thread that is ONLY equipment/bike/clothes related so we can keep chat about this and all other part of the PRO peloton seperated? For me personal I only come here to get updated on the equipment.

Didn't there used to be one years ago?

Fabio Aru wearing a standard Assos XC Le Vernon Speedsuit with ironed on team logos. The bike looks like something available.

Yeah they don’t have their kit design yet, they are doing a contest

so what, a separate thread to discuss equipment, one for talking about racing, one for BS/doping/whatever?

can't we just all agree to keep it civil and polite and discuss here ALL things related, like we have been for years? and instead of constant remarks how this has no place here, that is not interesting, etc, just try to resist engaging in stuff you're not interested in? is it that hard really?

edit: and maybe we can all be a bit firmer on dudes who only pop up to say how "this is dumb", "that one's a fool" etc. we all know who they are, so just report them to make mods' job easier, and let ourselves enjoy a diversified yet informative thread?

^Says nowhere that this contest is for the team kit design: https://www.assos.com/Team-Qhubeka-ASSOS-Contest

[robbosmans]

Maybe they just need some inspiration lol

The bike looks like a Guerciotti cross bike with some black tape on the headtube logo

Indeed.

Thanks.

Still 2 hours left of that Assos Qhubeka contest! About time to get on with it, haha.

Is AG2R-Citroen on full Campag this time or a mismatched mashup to be abandoned for DA like the last time?

[pastronef]

full Campagnolo for Ag2r

Qhubeka-Assos won´t wear SciCon glasses this year, they´ll change

Great idea, would make sense!

BMC has been very shimano-focussed previously so this collab will be new for them.
