    Wow. I'm impressed. Would be even more so if they got rid of the mouldings on the seatstays.

    AFAIK, the "moulding" actually contains the ANT+ sensor & transmitter for speed and cadence.

    Blinkin eck. And I still ride a bike made of metal.

    Get that wallet out.

    Yeah the only question is can I get that BMC integrated brake with a Trek ANT/Cadence moulding and multi-cog shifting 2013 Di2...






    ...for under a grand on Cycle to Work?

    Not really watching it (TRYING to do some work) but impressive pulling back of the break. Using the Phil and Paul rule of 1 minute/10kms the break should have taken this and be on to their second beer by the time the bunch arrived :wink:

    Good win by Sagan, but also a good drive from a long way out by Cooke.

    Bloody hell that was some tight corners. Sagan always well positioned and can make up time on the corners. Thought the GE rider had it when he gapped Sagan on the last corner but Sagan just too powerful then sat up quite early - very confident.

    That was twisty. Sagan wins.

    Did Sagan pull his foot out of the pedal during the second to last corner?

    He seems to have lost his nerve - not good in a sprinter!

    Farrar's more like a Petacchi than a Cav. Needs a long, straight finish to get his motor running. The twisty finish has never been his strong point. That said, I can't remember the last time he was in any kind of winning position.

    Stage win at the TdF last year is the last I can remember.

    This year his record is:

    3rd stage 3 Giro d'Italia
    1st Stage 4 (TTT) Giro d'Italia
    2nd Overall, Tour of Qatar
    1st Stage 2 (TTT)
    2nd Scheldeprijs
