Interesting article, nice to see another pro womens team enter the mix.
"An all-new female pro cycling team was launched today in London. The Wiggle Honda Women's Pro Cycling team is the brainchild Commonwealth Games gold medalist Rochelle Gilmore, and is the result of four years of tenacious effort."

Yay - I got the image posting right!
I like those kits. For real riders. Black shorts. Graphics that don't direct ones attention to their crotches. Outfits real women can wear to emulate their heroes.
And they have a theme song if they so choose. Curtis Salgado's "Put a Little Wiggle in It" I wish them well.

They need to sign on Moen Faucets as a sponsor too. Wiggle & Moen has a nice ring to it.
For a theme song, I was thinking JL Lewis' 'Chantilly Lace'
'wiggle and a walk and a giggle and a talk
oh baby that's a what I like'
Good one, Polish, I have to admit!
Ben, good call. I thought that kit looked pretty well designed for a woman. Far too many teams haven't taken into consideration the female physique (or maybe they just don't care).
Do wonder about those shoes. Color scheme seems out of touch with the orange. Better to have gone all-black of black and white.
jp, there's a little red on the thigh band on the shorts. Any red on the bikes (say bottle cages) and I think the shoes will work well.
Ben
It would be nice if the shoes were more coordinated but they they are not riding shoes? Those are podium shoes.
Did anyone notice the thighs on the short dark haired girl? I'm betting she's not a climber
abrickinthewall, thats Giorgia Bronzini, 2 time road World Champion and World Cup track racer.
Interesting move by Bronzini to an english language team although I guess it makes sense in view of past comments about riding in Italy.
“There are only two possibilities,” Bronzini explained. “The first is to go into the military, which at least provides the time and a salary; the second is to prepare to go hungry."
