Rock Racing bringing new - " and different - " look to cycling

“They bring controversy, but I think they've got a guy that really loves cycling. ... It just brings a whole new fan base into the sport.”

Rock Racing is a cycling team unlike any other, which is by design. The racers wear flashy lime-and-black outfits, called "kits" in the cycling world. via The San Diego Union-Tribune

Rock Racing = Sad Joke. At Sea Otter this year, they couldn't GIVE something as simple as a water bottle away, let alone charge $15.00 for one. Since being associated as a team that litterally "supports" doping by retaining riders outright convicted of illegal steroid use/abuse. Everyone knew it at Sea Otter, and no one would come within 20 feet of their booth. They literally "threw" stuff at people, and still couldn't get a single look.

sad.....

Thanks for sharing Downhiller. That certainly isn't going to get them any cycling fans. What a pathetic way to behave!

Cheers
