Well then, shoot me down and stone me.
Didn't have a clue.
My apologies.

Don't be too hard on yourself, it's SB who has questions to answer...where's the bloody Europcar Jersey then!?
Should have been one of the first up, surely

They're only a continental team though, or have they been upgraded this season?

A mere triviality...it's Europcar for crying out loud!
SB's nipper will be very disappointed in him for missing this one out.
The latter is true, but the Europcar 2013 jersey is a little tough to find, or it's identical to last years.

Going by Team Europcar's site it looks like it may well be this (even though this is the gillet). Not very different from last year.

Report: Armstrong's Alleged Donation To USADA | Cyclingnews.com
Armstrong attorney denies $250k offer, Tygart confirms
Although the US Anti-Doping Agency's final "reasoned decision" on its lifetime ban of Lance Armstrong has had months to gather dust, a new segment from 60 Minute Sports to be aired on Wednesday is reportedly going to bring to light new allegations of possible graft by the now-former seven time Tour de France champion.
The report by Scott Pelley, the same journalist who first brought Tyler Hamilton's allegations of doping by Armstrong to light on the television network CBS, is said to have confirmation from USADA CEO Travis Tygart on an offer by Armstrong to donate a large sum of money, up to $250,000.
"I was stunned," Tygart says in the interview, according to USA Today. "It was clear - it was a clear conflict of interest for USADA. We had no hesitation in rejecting that offer."
While USADA was keen to point out in its 1,000+ page reasoned decision that Armstrong gave some $100,000 to the UCI, and Tygart heavily criticized the sport's governing body for accepting the money, nowhere in the document does it state that Armstrong also attempted to provide a similarly large donation to USADA in 2004, as the 60 Minutes Sports segment alleges.
Tygart did not return Cyclingnews' request for comment today, but Armstrong's attorney Tim Herman replied to a request for confirmation, stating there is "no truth to that story".
"[The] first Lance heard of it was today. He never made any such contribution or suggestion."

Just go away!
I'm edging closer to a half decent team name.

You know what I mean sweet cheeks.Thanks. Love you too.
Lance is going to drag this out for years, instead of doing the honourable thing and going away.

I wish he'd just do what he's going to do sooner rather than later, and that's write a book about it. "It's all about the Syringe" or "Every injection counts" or "Drugs, Lies and Corruption: The Lance Armstrong True Story"You know what I mean sweet cheeks.

He's doing Oprah in a couple of weeks.
Which ever direction he goes in that interview, we just know it won't be EVERYTHING.

This will be incredibly managed and structured by armstrong's people. He'll confess but blame it on the sporting culture, then he'll deny all the other stuff like bullying/bribery/intimidation. Cue a long bit about his fight with cancer, how much of a family man he is and how hard all this has been on them. Finally, a rousing montage in slow motion of how live strong is changing lives around the world!!!
Oprah isn't exactly Paxman is it!
