I don’t race at all and I am currently riding an OCR (comfort rode) bike. BUT – Would I like a frame that is lighter-yes? Would I like wheels that rolled a little smoother and were a little lighter-yes? Would I like a frame that was stiffer yet still comfortable-yes? Isn’t this what the big manufacturers are spending millions of dollars to innovate so that we can reap the trickle down benefits? I think that many of the road bikes used by the Pros fit much of the above criteria even for a rider who doesn’t race.

FORMERLY La Boulangere? What happened?

Brioches La Boulangère stopped sponsoring bike racing (high cost), the same team has been taken over by Bouyghes (telecommunication) and the Vendée Region (west of France), I think.
