Of all the options on that chart, Evans is the least likely one I would ever end up with

Art: Attacking riders
Science: Defensive riders
I still fail to see what Wiggins has to do with being entertaining, though.

I guess you could say this one has a bit of all their previous jerseys along with a rather good looking grey/silver in there too. The design of Footon is great its the ugly colours that ruin the jersey. In my opinion that is.

That flowchart made me laugh ... I did it the first time and after one answer got lance, so I retryed and got lance again. Makes sense because I'm from the USA. So the chart does work.

Seriously though, how much difference does riding in white compared to black actually make to a rider? Minimal, studies have shown.
I like the Cervélo jersey, but with their prices, it reeks of cynical marketing. Limited edition for Le Tour...just like last year, available from all good stockists soon!

Can you blame them?
Other than the marketing purposes, I do think that there's some 'actual' reason to it too. Although the black colour may not have a direct influence on your performance (in the heat - I suppose that's what you're referring to), it may mean mean something to the rider's general comfort.
When I played (American) football, we were wearing black kits ... in July, that's not healthy |

Well, they should probably think when they design the kit in the first place that a month called July exists.
