    Cofidis 2012 kit

    Much better. Distinctive. Different. They must have got themselves a new designer.

    They do anything just to win a salami in ridiculous races. I take my gear out of the car and put my bike together. Tourists and locals are watching from sidewalk cafes. Non-racers. The emptiness of those lives shocks me. It was the illest of times, it was the dopest of times. And we looked damn good. Actually the autobus broke down somewhere on the Mortirolo.

    Looks like they've taken their design tips from the Polish.

    Wow. From far away, and because of the colour, I'd swear that says Canada and not Cofidis.

    Better than the old design, but I'm not in love with it. For all the "Cofidis" logos all over the jersey, none of them really stand out. I'd much prefer one "Cofidis" that stands out in the front. They all look about the same size and that really dilutes attention.

    I agree about the Cofidis logos... but still, my favorite kit this year.

    I was thinking "Coke". Still, not as cluttered and busy as some....

    I think they look like a bunch of commies.
    Mapie is a conventional looking former Hollywood bon viveur, now leading a quiet life in a house made of wood by an isolated beach. He has cultivated a taste for culture, and is a celebrated raconteur amongst his local associates, who are artists, actors, and other leftfield/eccentric types. I imagine he has a telescope, and an unusual sculpture outside his front door. He is also a beach comber. The Rydster.

    A bit like good old Saeco-Cannondale, then.

    Since no one else has said so yet:

    This picture is awful.
    I like when you get to that point and I don’t know if it’s the endorphins kicking in or what, but you realize you’re so far from where you started, that you’re finally really somewhere else, a completely different place.

    Take note an American company is the wheel sponsor - at least the wheels match the kit.
