UCI should forbid that shit, but I've said this too many times already.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Pretty hard to ban something for being ugly... otherwise we'd be half way to getting rid of Froome and his riding style

Well, let's! But I meant that national jerseys should be prominent, the Belgian federation already has that rule.

Looked at it for five minutes, just then I realized he's the Italian national champ. |

Can't find the tweet. But check out Stephen Cummings' and Ramon Sinkeldam's NC Jerseys, almost identical

I didn't even realise - I though he was just posting their new jersey.
Such a shame, last year, Aru had an awesome Jersey and raced the most stylish retro bike.

It seems like Aru's jersey was a provisional one, and the one that Aru will use during the season will be similar at Nibali's jersey when he was in Astana

Onto better news then, Cofidis revives the defunct spain NC jersey from the evil claws of Movistar. Simlpe, yet clever imo.

It was god awful. The black gradient ruined it.
IMO there should be a regulation for NC jerseys like with the World and European champion jerseys.
Or better yet, abolish the use of NC jerseys - there is no other sport that uses NC equipment.

Terpstra and Jungels shoud've done a photoshoot of them doing the above poses with their NCs, nobody would have noticed it was two people 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Why would they? NC jerseys are something awesome in cycling, just look at the Spanish and Dutch (?) jerseys just posted.
These NCs are atrocious though, maybe countries need a standard for how their NC must look or maybe teams just shouldn't go for it if they don't want the jerseys, once Hinault wasn't allowed to go for the French NC because his DS didn't want him wearing it - because it didn't allow advertising at the time.

All NC Jerseys should just be a full sized flag of that country across the front and back of the wearer. Most Tri-Colour flags do use this approach, but all country's should do it.
I don't like the whole thing where the national champ jersey is just the usual team kit slightly modified with a flash of another colour.

Stupid idea. It's like using national teams only.

You can say a lot of things about FDJ but they do make the best national champion shirts. Classic! |

I don't understand your response. What do you mean "It's like using national teams only"?
