Skoda & Cycling

[monkeysrus]

I have tried to get a skoda jersey for TDU to no avail. Heading over to SA today. Phil Anderson is a Skoda promoter and we are catching up with him so maybe ill try to grab one from him. If not i may try to go past the SA dealer.

3 days of riding, skoda spotting & wine drinking ahead! Ill be on the Scott Cr1 as pictured above if anyone wants to say hi.

This is my fine peice of machinery, notice the carefuly lubed chain, the special "gold coast" chrome and front wheel/tyre scabed from council pickup. It puts your racers to shame, I think it weighs in at about 30kg, including surfboard racks, milkcrate and wet towel.

Neil Armstrong would be jealous.

Just watched the TDU highlights from today in ADL and im on Skoda Overload... Amazing to see so much advertising and Skoda's on SBS.. Really not happy to have missed out on a week of cycling and spectating.

All the best to the riders tomorrow. Keep an eye out for our team, the Honey Badgers. Ask about the name, if you see me on a white Giant with white wheels.

Hey there everyone. Good to see some other Aussie, Skoda owning, cycling enthusiasts out there!

Would any of you happen to know where I could find some decent Skoda cycling apparel? I think it's amazing that they spend so much money sponsoring the sport, but there doesn't appear to be a Skoda jersey, knicks or even socks out there!

Would love to pick up one of the Skoda King of the Mountain jerseys from the Tour Down Under.

Cheers

Clarence St Cyclery in Sydney has the TDF White jersey for sale ! . . . at $99.90 a pop though !
A bit of a rip-off since RebelSport sell the same replica jerseys for $65, however they do not have the white jersey, only Yellow, Green and polka-dot.

Trivett Skoda emailed me their merchandise booklet, they have cycling jersey available for $70 - however it is not the TDF white jersey type. The owner of my local bike shop is on a trip to Europe this week, he promised me he'll bring back a few Skoda Teams jerseys - i'll fill you guys in if he is true to his word.

BTW, my rides - GIANT Defy1, GIANT Anthem and Yeti 103TDI.
