    "bike’s estimated price tag is an astronomical $20,000. The McLaren Tarmac will be limited to 250 bikes, with pre-orders starting today and running through the end of July.

    The Tarmac is outfitted with a reliable high-end drivetrain, Dura-Ace 9070 Di2, with a custom EE Cycleworks brakes. The tubular wheelset, Roval CLX40R, is exclusive to the McLaren Tarmac and saves 90 grams compared to the general public’s CLX40 wheels. Components like the crankset, stem, and handlebars will all be selected by a Body Geometry fitter when the buyer orders their McLaren from a Specialized S-Works dealer.

    Additionally, color-coordinated S-Works shoes and a Prevail helmet will be included with the McLaren Tarmac, along with a wall-mounted stand to display your investment, preferably next to your McLaren 650S. If you’re going to ride a super-bike, might as well drive a super-car too."

    "Cannondale’s newest lineup is also indicative of the way the company imagines the future of cyclocross. All of their 2015 models, from entry-level to dream bike, possess disc brakes—even the $1080 Sora-equipped model".

    Looks cool.

    I understand it's the Sky colours, but the domanace of black in their team kit seams marginally flawed in the mad mid day sun.

    ^yeah, but they've got that cold black stuff which reflects the heat. It's actually meant to work really well.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    Worst Italian Champ kit I can recall. Even the Katusha Kremlin was better.

    It does. He proudly told everyone about the Wolverine motif at the Team Presentation. I do like Sagan very much. He is probably 3rd in my favourite rider list.

    To all those who were questioning how Tinkoff-Saxo could get away with riding predominantly yellow jerseys in the Tour, the answer is.... they have changed them for the Tour. The Yellow is slightly more neon green now:

    Anyone know why Nico Roche's bike has orange forks? Can't seem to find any other pictures.

    I like Nibalis bike - although it needs to be pretty good to distract attention from the least impressive Italian champions jersey ever.

    "Following the recent launch of their new Tarmac, Specialized have this week released the S-Works McLaren version of the bike, and Nicholas Roche will be riding it at the Tour de France. He’s the only rider on the Tinkoff-Saxo team lucky enough to be picked to ride the new bike."
