Ok that year it's clearly release on purpose. 1 day before the Giro it's a positive from Pirazzi. 1 day before Le Tour it's from Cardoso and now this. Is this some kind of advertising ?



Same old, same old. Surprised he got caught tbh. Must have messed up his timeline or made some mistake along the way.

Looks much too similar to Kwiatkowski's Bolide TT in Polish national champ livery.

some marginal gains here

I'm sort of surprised no one thought about such 'hub' earlier. I mean - it sure does look pricey, but how valuable is it to be able to rest and eat properly imidiately after the race, and not after a long-ish drive to the hotel? and y'all wonder why folks want to sign with SKY... :roll:

The marginal gains are in the jiffy bag, you go into the hub to be injected with them.

The banter on the twitter feed is gold. I'm sure it'll bring in handsome money being used as a high-level sponsor hangout near stage finishes. We'll see more of this in the future.

I thought maybe it's an italian's bike.
But these are more like the colors of Hungary. (red white green) Italy is green-white-red.
I guess from the other side it can be seen as green-white-red, but every bike is to be shown from the drive side.

still, a lot more convenient to it in an arranged room than in a seat of a team bus, no?
