"Insanely Anatomical"

Sexism in Pearl Izumi's Advertising? Men and women will agree this is a fine example of the female form.

Pearl Izumi wants to be the brand that cyclists think of when they think of high performance, premium cycling clothing with it's new made-in-Italy P.R.O. Octane line. As the ‘Insanely Anatomical’ tagline suggests, the Garmin team-inspired fits are decidedly more oriented towards racers. The garments will include a number of top-end features shared by some of its top competitors.

Shorts will include a brand new preshaped ‘4D Pro’ stretch chamois with fully welded construction, wide leg bands with laser-cut edges, minimal silicone gripper dots, and open mesh upper bib sections. The matching form-fit jersey will use strategically-placed mesh panels, a silicon infused lower hem and asymmetrically cut sleeves for more even coverage on the bike. Meryl microfibers provide UPF50 protection according to Pearl Izumi.

Available in both men's and women's specific pieces BicyclingHub.com is proud to stock this exciting line. Click Here To See BicyclingHub.com's Selection of P.R.O. Octane Apparel

Dave Campbell's Race Trivia- February 2009

Q1. As the Tour of California enters its fourth year, there are two riders who have won stages every year, can you name them?

Q2: This year’s Tour of California is being heralded as the finest field ever assembled in North America (perhaps a stretch with the 1986 Coors Classic and World Championship as well as Tour DuPonts and Trumps also having class fields, but…it is nonetheless STELLAR), but ALREADY reigning World Champions have won stages in previous editions. Can you name those who triumphed in rainbow jersies?

Q3. Who was the first Non-American (yes we have been VERY competitive at our home event) to don the race leaders jersey?

Team Garmin Trivia For December

“America’s Team”…this once meant 7-Eleven, then US Postal/Discovery but now “our” team truly is Jonathan Vaughters band of merry men complete with argyle! Their approach to clean cycling has especially appealed in this era of tainted (and tarnished and banished) sporting events! Their head mechanic is an Oregonian (Daimeon Shanks) by the way, who built his first two bikes in my basement back in the mid 90’s!

TEAM GARMIN-CHIPOTLE-SLIPSTREAM

Q1: There are TWO key staff members at Team Garmin that still remain from the “original” US Postal Service squad of 1997-98. Name them:

Q2: How many members of the current Garmin formation are past teammates of that oh-so-famous team captain, Lance Armstrong, of the previous incarnation of “America’s Team” US Postal/Discovery Channel. Can you name them?

Q3: Making the podium in a Tour stage is a career-defining moment for any rider. In the 2008 Tour de France, Team Garmin had FOUR different riders make the podium in daily stages, although no wins-a situation they hope to address in 2009. Can you name the four top-three finishers?
