With thanks to Elle for sending me the link - at last, confirmation that the back of the kit does not feature anything revolting or scary, unlike this kit which Barbara so kindly brought to our attention:
After seeing certain tee-shirts that Andy and Jakob have been wearing ("still" wearing, come on girls, make them throw them out!) we were all getting a bit worried about what was going to appear on the new kit. But it's ok, it's quite grown-up:
It is, in fact, identical to the front.
Oh good!
The shorts are black, they have Nissan in big letters across their backsides, which pleases me, and yes! the "O" logo is still there, although it's been lifted up a bit, which is not a bad thing.
Also, the shorts are shiny black on the outsides of the legs, but nice safe matte black on the, er, modesty panel. Well done, whoever designed them.
Weirdly, they seem to have the name "Leopard" written along their sides, which is what we'll be seeing a lot of in the camera-bike footage. Pity they didn't follow Sky's lead and put the riders' names on the side... but that's a small quibble.
There were lots of other photos there, too - errr, it was Facebook I think - and some of them were just begging for comments. I tried to resist. Really, I tried.
But I couldn't.
So here, for your amusement, is my version of the training camp.

 |
| "OMG, how am I going to carry all that lot?" |
 |
| "Ha ha! I don't have to carry the water today!" |
 |
| "So, where shall we attach the carrier for the water, then?" |
 |
| "Dude, I'm getting thirsty, who's got the water?" |
 |
| "Where's the water, then?" |
 |
| "Come on lads, follow me, let's GET that water!" |
 |
| "Shall we search them and see if they have any water?" |
 |
| "Shhhhhlllllllluuuuuuuuuurrrrrrp" |
