Behind the Rapha Prestige URABANDAI 2024
I have great memories, including the fact that we were able to finish the race on time without injury.
But at the beginning, everyone was really nervous as you can see from the picture above.
I was particularly anxious because I was the least able to ride of all of them.
Some of us got a new jersey for this time, but we all put it on and said to each other like “How do I look?”, “Is it okay?” a few days before the race. I still have a hard time choosing the right size.
So, I’m gonna tell you guys the size we chose even though it’s the best to try it on in person.
Of course it’s depending on the situation, but this time, we all chose just right one.
FYI, we’ve sometimes been asked, but basically we don’t wear anything inside the bib.
I know there’re some who like to wear it.
Daichi, the youngest of our team and the second fastest mechanic after Duncan.
Height 179cm (5.87ft) / Weight 65kg (143lbs)

Digital, who got us together and has become a dad recently.

Kaneyan, who used to work as a messenger and rides really faster with a strange voice when it comes to a hill.
Height 168cm (5.51ft) / Weight 65.5kg (143lbs)
Jersey: Small

Duncan. No need to say that he is the fastest mechanic of BLUE LUG.
Height 172cm (5.64ft) / Weight 56kg (123lbs)
Jersey: Small
Bib: Small
Chuyan, who joined this team with a fever of 38° until the day before.
Height 181cm (5.93ft) / weight 64kg (141lbs)
Jersey: Small

Small fits most of us!
If you’re Asian and under 65kg (143lbs), Small or Extra Small will fit most of you nicely depending on your height.
(I out on Small and it’s a bit tight, so I’d like to recommend Medium or bigger if you like a loose fit, or if you’re taller than 180cm (5.9ft).
