IMO it depends wildly on the team.
The "Flag of Liberia" variation Garmin uses, for example, I find hideous
We can at least all agree that Katusha has the worst NC jerseys.
Radioshack's are worse.
I'm not sure. They're bad, but katusha slapping whatever flag on there with freaking borders even, is just too stupid and half assed.

Contador moved, but didn't go hard and didn't get away.
Situ is as was. Pace has been cutting the pack down though. |

Blasphemy. No jersey is half as beautiful as the world champion's.
I enjoyed the old world cup jersey more, actually.
Of course the WC jersey is far more prestigious than any national champion jersey. |

What I miss is the World Cup itself.

Thanks.
Netherlands and Belgium seem to be wasting a lot of men. Especially Belgium, since Meersman is in the attack, but anyway...
Meersman doesn't seem to be working along in the group. |

He's been on and off, but mainly off. Kelly and co. are convinced that Belgium doesn't trust him, and they wouldn't be chasing if say, GvA was in the group instead of him.
EDIT: ooh, rain...

Contador moved, but didn't go hard and didn't get away.
He wasn't trying to.
He publicly announced his role in the team was to go to the front of the pack on the climbs in the last 4 laps and raise the pace as much as possible to kill people off.

I wasn't saying anything different.
Next time up I think we'll get a feel for where everyone is.
I agree with the Eurosport guys, don't understand why Ten Dam is working. He's been great this year, and jumped out at me as a darkhorse. |

It'll be interesting to see if that 5 sits up. De Kort and an Italian were with them.
EDIT: Voeckler and Albasini as well. That's a good group.

Froome and Wiggins fall out the pack, over for them.
Leukemena, Voeckler, Albasini with Contador |

The camera shows Wiggins waaaay too much. It's really uninteresting to see him soft-pedalling up like the climb.
Also, Contador <3

Ulissi is that Italian. Only Belgium have missed it.
EDIT: And I say that with Belgium having two riders up the road. They just don't trust Leukemans and Meersman.

See my edit. They clearly only trust Gilbert and Boonen, they're still chasing. |

By the way, noticed it in the TT, and again here. Every rider has their trade team listed on the side of their shorts. Really interesting that the UCI allowed that. |

This is interesting. Spain and France giving it all in the front group. |
