New teams, new kits

As we know, OmegaPharma Lotto are splitting up - Lotto is to become a seperate team, and Omega Pharma are going to merge with Quickstep.

We have already speculated that the team could be called OmegaStep - although I'm not sure what Pharma might think of that - and I've been speculating about how they are going to split up the team members, the mechanics, the soigneurs, the kit, etc.

Actually, the kit sort of does itself: there you go, current kit on the left: Omega Pharma keep the blue side, and Lotto take the red side. All they have to do, more or less, is cut all the kit in half up the middle, make up new other halves,  then stitch it back together. Simple.

As you can see, plenty of room for Lotto to either add a new sponsor, or just put their name again.

And GreenEdge, the other new team? Not much news on their kit yet, but this could be their Juniors' kit:

OK I admit it, I have been wasting time this evening! Well, my arm still hurts (*dull throbbing, off to the left somewhere*) and I didn't feel like doing any real work... so I've been catching up with Miss Fede's blog (*waves, "Hi Sweetie!" *) and some of the videos.

Talking of which,Frank and Andy in Eindhoven with the Two Djohnnies' car:



Am I the only one who is somewhat shocked to see Andy driving with no hands while mucking about with the mirror that he broke... not to mention Frankie setting fire to the headlining? Frankie, where did you get that lighter from? You don't smoke (*shocked face*), surely? And oh, the royalty of being OGL - "I don't have my wallet on me, it's in the hotel".  Hmmm.  And to think that I used to work for a Dutch company whose headquarters were in Eindhoven, and I used to do anything rather than get sent out there... ah, how times change.
