This photo deserves its own thread I think. Unreal, I love it when they shoot these ones.

    Here is another example that I edited from some race but can't remember exactly which.

    Interesting, look closely and the new bars are much narrower, he's trying to be more aero.

    Indeed narrower. It may also have to do with the fact they are only allowed to ride commercially available products now (or at least in the Olympics) and I don't think those lovely stealth bars are exactly available. Boardman has (or maybe will go) to UCI HQ to discuss what this actually means in reality.

    It might just be a different event that is the reason behind the different handle bars.

    If it's a flying 200m, then there's no real need to open up the chest a bit.

    Why "Oh Dear"

    The title of the thread is HOY, the photo and the OP says "this photo deserves its own thread" so I assumed all the photo's were going to be of Chris Hoy.
