SRAM on the TDF podium
For those wondering if they should make the SRAM leap or not, consider that everyone on the TDF final podium was riding a bike outfitted with SRAM. The best team (Astana) used SRAM. Yes, that clicky, noisy SRAM.

A. Schleck beat LA because his hoods weren't at some ridiculous jacked up angle.

I made the leap before there was "make the leap", just saying. I still refuse to go with white hoods though...

Of course, naysayers will point that he's f**king Lance Armstrong, and therefore is above such concerns, but WTF do they know? A. Schleck has Euro Style out the yin yang, and who got 2nd place, huh? Hint: it wasn't Lance. Coincidence?
