First Mapei (no more sponsorship), and now BigMat (TdF sponsor). Is worldwide cycling on a downward spiral thanks to some cyclists bad decisions (taking banned substances), which then causes the sponsors to get bad publicity, which causes them to stop their sponsorships? What is going to happen now that the biggest sponsored team (Mapei) has to withdraw

Come on mate settle down, go easy ! -
Mapei had great jerseys. Not quite La Vie Claire, but pretty cool.
-
My favorite is still the Dos Equis cyclist-as-a-cold-beer jersey.

C'mon, the Mapei jerseys were waaaaay cooler than La Vie Claire jerseys... 😉
Personally I loved the Atala-Ofmgea jerseys... ah, another era... 😎
Check ' em out (looks like a convict outfit...) I loved it, and as a young lad was the proud owner of one...
