Wasn't it fairly common knowledge that Sky didn't actually use Stages and Garmin didn't actually use the Vector pedal for anything but the highest profile events?
I have a good source on the Team Sky thing that backs this up. They were training on SRM.

FWIW I always saw Sioutsu (when @ Sky) training with a Stages PM
but the last time I saw him (already DD equipped, Rotor PM) he had a Garmin unit (510), as always, and a SRM head unit (PC VII, I guess) in blue Sky color. So yes it's probably true they were swapping and testing SRM-Stages to check for differences.

Carlos Betancur looks like he's 30lbs overweight. At least.

Haha yes. That Betancur photo just made me feel a lot better. Very curious to see how he goes this year but things are not looking good.
Ryder/Trek need to stop it with that handlebar bend.

Probably 20 lb.- he is short.
On one hand he can probably lose a good chunk of that with a solid month on the bike.
On the other hand, his chosen career is as a pro bike racer. He should be more serious.
