I was trying to figure that out. Didn't look like he shifted the front. Looked like something went wrong in the back. Then he tried to prop the chain back up by shifting the front and it didn't seem to work (too bad, that works 95% of the time for me).
Anyway, I figure SRAM is working on something major. Campy went 11 (and apparently no one cared). Shimano went electric (not sure how much people care, I'm guessing it'll pick up steam when it doesn't cost more than the rest of your bike put together). What's SRAM gonna do, continue to be a few grams lighter? Nah, they've got to do something interesting. I kind of hope they build a good electric system and price it about where Red is now.
Other than more gears, electric assist I'm not sure what would excite me personally. I could care less about the drivetrain getting much lighter. Not sure I actually care about having another cog either.
