Pcad, I'm taunting you

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Gross. That review should be X-rated. Competitive Cyclist really needs to keep it in their pants when they write product copy.

It wasn't just a matter of contorting himself into an tuck for 4 hours and taking advantage of the fact that he was riding the most aero bike in the peloton. Stage 9 took in six mountain passes. It showcased the versatility of the S2 -- invisible to the wind on the flat valley basins, and invisible to gravity on the mammoth climbs.
They're conflating the abilities of the rider with the abilities of the bike. The TDF isn't the Triple Crown.
