    Who said that? Internet forum people?

    My goals are later in the season.

    Very odd bars on Cav's bike. Flared like a salsa cowbell. I think the levers make it look more extreme than they actually are

    Agreed about EBH on his bike, but that pic does highlight something mentioned in another thread about frame sizes in the pro ranks these days. It looks like he borrowed Cav's by mistake.

    Very werid bars on cave bike, was thinking they might be the s works bars as he was using them in the velodrome over winter. Both him and EBH look very aero, Nike overshoes as well, I like his Nike shoes but don't think you can buy them

    Seen the handlebars or versions thereof on the club run and commute. Makes sense.

    Another view. They do look odd, but maybe they work really well.

    The bars look like Enve SES - narrower on the hoods so more aero the flared drops give more control when in the drops.

    I know Enve do flared bars (SES Aero), hard to tell if he is on them or the Cervelo own brand ones.
    I guess idea is narrow frontal on the tops, but keep leverage for sprinting on drops. Makes sense, but the levers really exaggerate the shape on Cavs bike.

    EDIT: Good work Omar!

    Lovely pics from the TT.

    I love a "roadmans" time trial without the aero bars and discs.

    Me too, since I do all my TTing on the same set up as road races. And the local clubs have set up "non-aero" league this year which is excellent news for me

    Back on topic, anyone know what's occurring in todays stage? Usually finish around now don't they? Can't watch the stream and there's no tickers to follow so I am relying on you lot

    Anyone got a Live stream at the moment? The last couple of days I've watched on BEIN (via Steephill) but only getting football at the moment. :(
