"’Ive got the pictures here,” says Sir Dave Brailsford, jabbing at an iPhone that appears weathered enough to have lived through at least one of Team Sky’s Tour de France victories. A minute passes.

Another flick, another photograph. This time close up. Brailsford’s head now bears more than a passing resemblance to the Borg from Star Trek, but the technology he is wearing is not something from science fiction, but a prototype from a tour of San Francisco last week. “I absolutely loved the experience,” says Team Sky’s head principal. “There’s an energy and buzz about the city – it’s an extremely exciting place to be.”

I like tech, but too much distracts from the purity of cycling. Too bloody clinical!
