If Cipo had still been racing the E5, he'd have entered and won Le Tour. No doubt.

I think not... He'd just have to put on a toga and have his teammates pull him in a chariot, all the way to the line.

Damiano Cunego of Lampre used a Cannondale CAAD 8 SI frame in the Giro, that's about as not carbon as it gets in the Grand Tours.

Backstead has ridden Ti bikes because of the difficulty of getting a CF frame built to his size.
