According to this it does:

I've looked as closely as I can at the zoomed in photo, but can't see anything on the seat stays. Has anyone got one?

If it has, this must be the ultimate light tourer!!

    Think it must be referring to the holes near the dropout

    I remember reading on BR that the 3 series Madones this year do have rack mounts. Will try and find link.

    Edit: can't find one but all links to where you can buy bike list it as having rack mounts too.

    If it's only a second threaded hole in the drop outs and nothing on the seat stays, I would hardly call that a "rack mount".

    Sure, you can use one of those 'bodge it' jobs without having to secure the bottom of the rack to the QR skewer, but that's about it.

    Whatever happened to the Trade Descriptions Act??? :wink:
