BB30: Yes or No

I have a 2010 Specialized S-Works Tarmac w/ Red, but I don't know if it has BB30 or not. I ask because I'm looking into getting a Quarq, but need to know what kind of BB I have. I checked specialized's website, but it wasn't any help.

I've got a link to a picture:

Thanks in advance!

Call a Specialized dealer, they have a dealer catalog that lists all of there small parts and will list what BB it is. Sorry I don't know personally.

Checked out the Specialized website and there are a dozen different S-work Tarmac models ranging from just over $2,000 to just under $10,000. Can`t chack the specs without something specific to go on.

If you look either side next to the frame and you see huge black thick collars, that's BB30.
