So where did Sagan and Boonen finish today.... 

 

Snip

 

Not really fair incl. Sagan in your comparison seeing as the bike didn't fail him but his tires and luck did

Well that, and using an exception to prove the rule.

 

How many of the last 20 ParisR have been won by bikes built for it?

Saw close-up footage of that stem thingie

 

Looks so counter-intuitive in terms of maintaining steering control

Reviews are superb

 

Sagz and Boonen, amongst others, will be rolling it at The Hell'

 

Mmm! Maybe they should have stuck to proper road bikes for yesterday's race.

Have you guys seen that one camera shot where Sagan's back wheel were sliding all over the place?

Between the Olympics (Sagan mtb), the Cape Epic (Sausser) and the roobay yesterday, these folks must be loving Spec tires.

I had to as to because those are the riders Paul referred to in the his post to which I was replying.

 

Anyway, Sagan probably rode over more rough stuff resulting in punctures because he was enjoying the smooth ride ... I can just see him thinking.... ahh what's everyone complaining about cobbles... what cobbles..... Pffffffft

 

Watch the guys on hard tails they go around or float over stuff in the way while most with suspension just ride over it....
