In the 1st video he says "It is considerably lighter than my previous bike"
In the 2nd, he says "we've gotten to the point that all bikes have practically reached the weight limit"

Ok, all riders will be a shill for their sponsor - its their job. But duh Alberto, your Trek and new Specialized are both at UCI minimum. Talking in general about liking the handling, weight, feel is good, lying is just bad PR.

Specialized aren't doing themselves any favors letting this guy spew nonsense just for the sake of saying something about the bike. Some athletes are good speakers for their team/sponsors, but most others need to keep quiet and do their job. Specialized should just let him ride and win on the bike and keep him quiet; that will sell lots of bikes.

So I guess in the spirit of this thread, we can also re-state the news that Lance has gone to LOOK Keo pedals (Keo Blade) after being the sole Shimano holdout last year. Lets see if LOOK can get Lance to make a comment on them.
