Boonen was supposed to be testing out the yet to be released EMX-7 in the TdF.

The bike looks incredibly sweet IMO (since I am not fond of the Pinarello wavy fork and stays) and has a neo-retro "crowned" carbon fork!

Also, did anyone catch a glimpse of Chavanel's EMX-5 that was half yellow and half green? That was a pretty nice looking ride as well.
