Kinda plain, but I dig the thin yellow band on the left sleeve.

Also kinda disappointed that Discovery decided to stay with Trek as their bicycle supplier. There are much better racing bikes available, even domestically (I'd take Specialized or Cannondale road bikes over Trek at any price point in their lines any day), but I guess Lance has a good thing going with Trek and he trumps all.

Yeah, that's pretty blah, especially compared to the postal gear.

As far as them not sticking with Trek... You're suprised by this how? Lance is a creature of habit. He's won the last 6 Tours on a Trek, and he's been able to work directly with Trek getting them to do basically whatever he wants. Yes, the prices of their bikes have become a bit retarded in the last two years, but it's not like Postal/Discovery has to pay for them anyway.

As far as Trek vs. Cannondale or Specialized... having ridden a carbon bike for the last 2 years, there's not a snowballs chance in hell you could sell me a bike made out of anything else, even if it was a hybrid or had carbon forks/seatpost etc. I will never ride an aluminum bike again.
Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.

It's a little early in the week, but I'm prepared to announce what I'll be wearing next weekend during the NFL playoffs:

FYI, the kit (well the jersey anyway) is available on Discovery's main web site for shipment in March.
