Awesome photos of, uh, bikes....yeah, that's what I was looking at!

Some swanky rides in there. Love the red helmet with the teeth.

Interesting that Bayliss is wearing booties. Is it for aero effect or to keep cool?

Did anyone else notice that Norman is not wearing scott shoes, he's still in the diadoras.
I thought that was one of the deals with the change to scott was to wear their bike and run shoes.
Don't know what he ran in but I'm interested to find out.

Good work thanks for sharing

Chris Lieto and Luke McKenzie...mmmmmmmmm.

This looks pretty uncomfortable to me... look at that hip angle. Ouch.

Well, you have to figure that he IS sponsored by a bike shop called Jack & Adam's. Probably a sponsor that made him pay for his gear. He wanted one that bad!

I think you'll enjoy the next gallery I'll post, the run.

that's the reason I put that picture there. His team is sponsored by Mizuno and he was seen walking around wearing Mizunos (even last year). I have to check the run photos to see what he ran with.

This one?

Yup, love it! Bryan looks like a badass :-)

Anyone know what race suits these are. I notice the Asics logo on them, but I have a feeling that its not the suit they're racing in, unless its something like what Under Armor does for Macca[/code]

It may be a european thing. On the asics german site they have the race suits called the zeus(tri shorts, tops and even a speedo) line but it's not shown on the american.

I guess it's one of those super athlete things but I don't get his team sponsorship wise. The sponsorship for Normann must be separate from the sponsorship of his team. Doesn't the team ride kouta, mizuno shoes and what looks like uvex helmets but Normann rocks his own shit. I would think that one of the reasons to sponsor the team would be to get Normann on your bike and in your shoes etc.

I think you'll enjoy the next gallery I'll post, the run.

Oooh! Post away, Ben!

I just checked on Normann's website and found this picture from Frankfurt Marathon and it seems everyone is wearing ASICS, Marino wearing the Noosa edition.

This is a a great collection of bike shots. I noticed that several guys are wearing white arm coolers. Does any one know if they really do keep the arms cool and prevent sunburn? Tim

Patrick Vernay is wearing a ZeroD iSinglet and iShort.
