the technologies part of the company rather than the F1 team directly it should be noted, and since the F1 team spent the past year with a fundamental aerodynamic flaw, youd hope having access to their windtunnel isnt the only support theyll be providing to Nibali.

but kind of ironic that the F1 driver most rumoured to want to fund a pro-cycling team, has just left them...

Good stuff, the extra money alone should add some welcome competition. The sytling on the road cars, 720s... is supposed to be based on a shark.
