Some of us make buying decisions following our heroes and favourite teams on the Pro Tour.
Check out the 2012 listing.

Looks like Assos kit is too expensive for the pro teams.

Haha where is Caad4 now? Crying his eyes out, Shimano on another Itallian bike
Assos logo is not "Sponsor Yourself" for nothing, they don't sponsor ... except for two people!
The difference between winning and losing is most often ... not quitting!

Yeah,
Shimano remains the big player in the Pro Tour set up. By far.

Interestingly, a few teams are buying some of their stuff.
Shockingly (no bias here at all
), Garmin-Barracuda moved from Sram to Shimano - electronic stuff.

Not crying at all. Well the British team, one could expect to do something like this. Vacansoleil, well somewhere between Holland and Belgium they got lost.. Movistar, the most stylish team on the tour I guess..
Pain is a universal language. It requires no translation... CAAD4.
