RW those new Cdales that Leakygas is riding look pretty nifty.
Frankly I'd be a bit nervous doing business with a firm called 'Leakygas'.

Speaking of which . . . what brand/model of bike is the winner actually riding? It looks like . . . well, not an S2.

BTW...the wheels have begun spinning to get one of those for moi...but all the production so far goes to Lee quee gas.
Another cool part is the cap insert that attaches the pedal to the BB...the ceramic BB30 was a magenta color. The team bikes have green ones.

Once the Cervelo team took control there didn't seem to be anything the other teams could do on that circuit. The "God of Thunder" had a huge gap at the line.

Looks like Thor was using 7800.

+1. It is pronounced "lee-kwee-gas." It would have to be spelled "Lichigas" in Italian to sound like "Leaky gas" in English. But half the fun listening to Phil to is hearing him say things like that.

It was a smart strategy. With the damp roads, not many people were going to try the big outside move around the circuit. You just slow up a little extra when in the tight corners and accelerate hard off of them. Let the accordian effect do the rest. Columbia never even got a chance to lauch Cavendish. Cervelo had him neutralized before the sprint ever started.

I like those helmets, reminds me of those frogs that absorb their babys eggs into their back, and then they hatch out of the skin... a cool organic looking thing.

there using 7800 because 7900 is junk, the rd is like plastic, fake carbon. and when it rains that hard the front shifters jam up and won't shift, we had dinner with team wrench for cervelo, and they were taking off 7900 before the san jose start the next day, and it worked the god won the stage.
