Boonen's just been given one for M-SR
So far, from Saturday onwards anyway, only him and Cavendish will have ridden them in the pro-peloton.
It's basically a stiff aero bike which McLaren ' helped' develop.
So basically it's the closest thing to a super-car for a bike. (from a marketing perspective anyway).
Presumably that explains the love it gets from those with a propensity to conspicuous consumption.0 -

Still, point remains - it's a pretty prestigious selection of riders who race on it.
After all, he did win the thing .
