Danny Pate in Garmin / Chipotle kit

By Yokota Fritz


Here's Danny Pate on his Felt bike looking sharp in the Team Garmin - Chipotle (nee Slipstream) kit during Stage 3 of the Tour de France 2008.



Pate's teammate Will Frischkorn made the podium today as Most Aggressive Rider. Team Slipstream has uploaded several photos to their Tour de France photo set on Flickr. They also have a separate set of "behind the scenes photos" under the Team Garmin account.

More Tour de France photos on Flickr.

• Carlton Reid's photos.
  
• Dip 44.
  
• Rob Gizzy has a couple of nice shots in his TdF set.

I've always wondered about how race organizers get the team name so quickly on the winner jerseys that are presented on the podium just moments after the race end. Ron at Cozy Beehive uncovers the magic of heat pressing podium jerseys. I guess they're like big iron ons.

Meanwhile over in South Carolina, James discusses the tech of le Tour.

KWC notes that Road Bike Action magazine has launched a new website that includes Tour de France updates. He also points out a few of his photos are in the print edition of the current issue. RoadBikeAction.com.

Earlier this morning I saw that bicycle.net is down, with a note about some quota was exceeded. It looks like Jonathan has upped his service plan, however, and the site is back up. As interest in cycling as skyrocketed over the past six months I've been keeping an eye on my bandwidth to ensure Cyclelicious doesn't go dark!
