Matt Hayman chases, Tour Down Under 2011, stage one
Cycling Weekly presents the Proteams' jerseys to spot in the bunch this season, unflinchingly rates their design and points out who to look out for in their colours.
Which one would you rank as the best? Tell us in the comments box below.

Ag2r La Mondiale (Fra)
No change here - fingers crossed the poo-brown shorts have been retained.
Riders to watch: Nicolas Roche, John Gadret, Rinaldo Nocentini.

Astana (Kaz)
The Kazakhs have come over all Tron. Still won't match your bike, though.
Riders to watch: Roman Kreuziger, Alexandre Vinokourov, Allan Davis. 

BMC Racing Team (USA)
The American squad have stuck with their 2010 design, which looks nice enough.
Riders to watch: Cadel Evans, George Hincapie, Taylor Phinney. 

Cofidis (Fra) (Pro Continental)
Sticking with the 2010 design: bright, bold and does the job.
Riders to watch: David Moncoutié, Samuel Dumoulin, Rein Taaramae. 

Euskaltel-Euskadi (Spa)
No change to the design here - nor to the easily-spotted-in-the-bunch colour.
Riders to watch: Samuel Sanchez, Igor Anton, Egoi Martinez. 

Europcar (Fra) (Pro Continental)
Green is in! A lovely looking jersey vying with HTC as top of the crop.
Riders to watch: Thomas Voeckler, Pierre Rolland, Anthony Charteau 

Garmin-Cervélo (USA)
What they would call ‘a mash-up' on Glee. Garmin meets Cervélo and it looks pretty special.
Riders to watch: David Millar, Thor Hushovd,
Tyler Farrar. 

HTC-Highroad (USA)
Retro-fabulous loveliness. Our fave.
Riders to watch: Mark Cavendish, Tony Martin, Peter Velits. 

Katusha (Rus)
Last year's kit comes over all red, and looks better for it.
Riders to watch: Joaquim Rodriguez, Filippo Pozzato, Alexandr Kolobnev.

Lampre-ISD (Ita)
There's retro, and then there's just stuck in the Eighties...
Riders to watch: Damiano Cunego, Michele Scarponi, Simon Spilak. 

Leopard-Trek (Lux)
Nice, Rapha-esque design, although a main sponsor still appears to be missing...
Riders to watch: Fabian Cancellara, Andy Schleck, Frank Schleck.

Liquigas-Cannondale (Ita)
Dividing opinions, but a huge improvement over previous incarnations.
Riders to watch: Vincenzo Nibali, Ivan Basso, Peter Sagan.

Movistar (Spa)
Couldn't be more different from the Caisse d'Epargne design. The jury is out.
Riders to watch: Xavier Tondo, David Arroyo, Marzio Bruseghin.


Omega Pharma-Lotto (Bel)
Same corporate colours, updated design. We shouldn't like it, but we do.
Riders to watch: Philippe Gilbert, Jurgen Van Den Broeck, Andre Greipel. 

Quick Step (Bel)
Time for something a bit different, please, Quick Step. 3D design?
Riders to watch: Tom Boonen, Sylvain Chavanel, Gert Steegmans. 

Rabobank (Ned)
Some might think Molteni, but we think it's inching towards Euskaltel territory...
Riders to watch: Oscar Freire, Matti Breschel, Robert Gesink. 

Saxo Bank-SunGard (Den)
The CSC eagle rears its head once again and there's a bit more blue.
Riders to watch: Richie Porte, Chris Anker Sorensen, Gustav Larsson. 

Team Sky (GBr)
Same again. An IG Markets logo is the only addition to the 2010 version.
Riders to watch: Bradley Wiggins, Edvald Boasson Hagen, Geraint Thomas. 

RadioShack (USA)
Go the big ‘R'! More vibrant than 2010, and not blue and black like everyone else.
Riders to watch: Lance Armstrong, Janez Brajkovic, Chris Horner. 

Vacansoleil-DCM (Ned)
A tweaked version of the 2010 jersey, this original design is tasteful yet easy to spot.
Riders to watch: Stijn Devolder, Romain Feillu, Riccardo Ricco.

How can Garmin get four out of five and Sky just three? Garmin just copied Sky's jersey AND came up with something worse! And as for Eurocar - it's green for God's sake!

Far too much black and red last year has been compounded yet further, so I fancy anything a bit colourful will stick out like a sore thumb - isn't that the object? My faves are Vacansoleil, HTC and Europcar. Oh yeah, isn't the great Larry publicity wagon meant to have retired (again) now, so why do we have him listed as one to watch - surely he can fade from view without making a further circus spectacle of the sport we love ?

Garmin - Cervelo and Leopard are appalling. Stop doing this CW - the kit thing always shows you up.
