Tyler who?

Don’t see that much about Tyler now that he is riding ANOTHER bike, however, he is in good form and riding well with a win today to wrap of TR again. Just figured I would give the man some props since many of us have forgot about him . . .

I just don’t think that the blue on Rebellin’s uniform is the right shade for most multisport folks, therefore, they have a real hard time jumping on his wheel . . . and speaking of his wheels, he hasn’t been winning on deep dish carbon wheels, and consequently, does not look as cool as he could sprinting past Boogerd . . . and we all know that looking cool is the primary goal.

What about Boogard. The man timed his “peak” and happened to have to contend with a very “on form” Rebellin. I guess the blue and orange Rabo jersey’s don’t cut it either :slight_smile:

Yes, but didn’t he look just AWFUL on that new bike of his? His position is really bad now, maybe that’s why he won the final TT by just 30s…

Tyler has just never proved that he is tough enough to pay attention to.

Forget about the uniforms. . .No one wants to pay attention to someone who can’t color coordinate. They fixed the garishness of the standard Zipps by using Z4s with their white graphics. Now if they could talk Easton into some white, yellow or green on their parts, I think the ugly factor of BMC’s John Deere tractor paint scheme would fall to respectable levels! I still think Tyler ought to choose the stealth black BMC frame ala his days at CSC on the Looks.

Tyler was riding a very different bike/position at Romandie. According to his website, he has been through three different TT bikes so far this year, testing for the tour. He looks pretty good on this on, from what I can see…

Bad picture(s,) sorry…

Oooh, Tyler’s been a bad boy. According to the Phonak team website, their bar sponsor is Easton. Now I see he’s using Deda. Naughty naughty.

I saw the TT live and it looked like he was riding a bigger frame than when I last saw him. Also remember that Tyler’s position may look good on the pics, but he has a very personal riding style, always moving forward on the seat and moving back. The same with Bjorn btw, he looks great on the pics but has got a rocking pedaling style (and no, I don’t mean he rocks, just that he rocks :wink:

Don’t go getting all becca on us now. :wink:

Nah, I’m not good with Photoshop at all… :slight_smile:

When have you seen bjorn live? If you’re gonna say ESPN for IMNZ 04 I’m gonna shoot the TV.

In the webcast of IMNZ, they had great helicopter shots of him on the bike.
