We are drawn to the all black look. It certainly looks cool, but what about the heat. We would have to ask Oscar Perriero if the black Caisse D'Epargne Illes Balears team kit caused any issues during the hot days of the Tour. Having an all black jersey could be extra motivation for a rider to win and don a different jersey. Maybe that is why Alejandro Valverde worked so hard to get the white ProTour leader's jersey?

Looks like form over function. Lance probably would not have allowed it when he was riding. I guess no one is worried about the extra heat generated by the sun on a black uniform?

That'll make it that much harder submitter. ;) + Caisse D’Epargne / Illes Balears has made the switch to Giro helmets for ‘07. That’ll make it that much harder submitter. ;)
