More for Communidad Valenciana

Carlos Garcia Quesada won today along with A Spain in My Ass and that's quickly becoming one of my favorite jerseys. The tight battle for the overall spread out some with Brian's Vuelta Skelta forging a bit of a lead. Will it be enough? More mountains tomorrow.

    I was thinking the same thing about that jersey. The whole kit is really sharp looking.

    I like the green and blue color scheme more than anything. The logo is kind of goofy, I will definitely give you that.

    With a cool logo, I think it could be a pretty clean design.

    dude, just call me a smurf-dork but i like the communidad valenciana and the heras fishy jersey. i even looked up where to buy one...
    check it out
    still my favorite is the euskaltel, i'd like to own a complete kit (socks, hat, etc.) so i can further the myth that i'm actually a Basque.

    What was the fish jersey? Was that signifying something special? Or does he just like fish?

    I don't know if Heras likes fish or not, but i'm guessing that is the best overall rider jersey. At the time, Heras was second in that competition behind Menchov and since he had the golden fleece, i think the jersey defaults to him. The proof would be to find a current image of Menchov.

    My bad, it's points, Graham Watson has a photo of Petacchi wearing the fishies on stage 17 when he was 2nd on points behind Heras. Same deal.
