Is it me, or did Vino saw off the front of his seat???

Looks like he was short on the UCI limit, so the hacksaw came out... Maybe it's just the angle + a weird, noseless saddle?

I wonder if he'd sell me those legs. I'd look great in a pair of legs like that.

CSC cut off the nose of their saddles in last year's tour. Just another way to get the saddle as far foward as one wants.

Just don't sit on the saddle when you saw the nose off!
