    Hats Or Caps? Let us know which you think Matt should wear.
    With more seats on a bus than we often see, and also the configuration is different to many of the bus tours we have completed.
    It's always amazing to see how a team utilises storage space inside of their team bus.
    Ex-Professional Cyclist Matt Stephens goes exploring!

      Yes indeed, at the Strade Bianche we slept at the same hotel as them and then the IAM logo was still on every seat

      A lot cheaper to just re-skin a current bus than having to order a new bus that's almost identical

    Maybe you should read this about Bahrain (from wiki): Amnesty International's 2015 report on the country points to continued suppression of dissent, restricted freedom of expression, unjust imprisonment, and frequent torture and other ill-treatment of its citizens. Human Rights Watch in its 2015 report described the situation of a Shia majority as more than tragic. Freedom House labels Bahrain as "not free" in its 2016 report. On 7 July 2016, the European Parliament adopted, with a large majority, a resolution condemning human rights abuses performed by Bahraini authorities, and strongly called for an end to the ongoing repression against the country’s human rights defenders, political opposition and civil society

    I am kinda not so overwhelmed with their coffee cups. As a sports team they are certainly a role model and should be aware of the problem of waste polluting the environment. They should use reusable cups instead of plastic ones, IMHO.
