2018 Specialized Roubaix Di2 question.

Hi all
I am looking to buy a 2018 Specialized Roubaix Elite and upgrade it to Di2 as I already have some of the components.
My question is regarding the handlebar supplied with the frame. According to the specs this is a "Specialized Comp Hover Bar, 6061 alloy, 70x125mm w/ Di2 hole". Does this mean that the bar has the holes necessary to allow fitting the bar end plug type Di2 junction box. Can the cables be run inside the handlebar ?. I can't just nip to the local LBS for a look as i live in Ireland and Specialized pulled distribution from all the local bike shops over two years ago with the intention of opening a concept store. Were still waiting so currently can only buy Specialized online from UK or Europe. Would appreciate if any 2018 Roubaix owners could confirm if this is possible.
Thanks

The Future shock works just great and I can't say that I'm conscious of any bouncing just a lot smoother ride... helped as well by the 28 tyres. I weigh about 68kg and am running the medium rated spring. I have never felt any need to swap to the stiffest one (supplied). I did drop the stem height and removed the spacers and put the shorter cap on... no steering tube cutting required.
I've done around 750 miles on it so far since January (a lot of time spent on the turbo due to the weather).
I've just started riding my "best" bike again... a Wilier Cento Uno. A very different ride and I'm having to get used to getting shaken around again... but still a great ride.
As your original question regarding the bars... sorry, I don't know the answer although I do have the bars you refer to. However I'm not running Di2 and the bars are wrapped and installed on the Roubaix... I like the bars though.

His :? Btw, the Roubaix somehow encouraged me to spend more time on the drops than previously, it felt very comfortable... this has now overspilled to the Wilier where I'm now spending a lot more time on the drops.

Just reading your article, Im also thinking of wanting to install Di2 on my 2018 Specilized Roubuaix Elite carbon Disc road bike, so please could you let me know how it went, and any issues if encountered. Also im trying to find out exactly what Shimano parts are required and costs.
Thanks
