lightning cranks? old da tt rings?
imho it was kinda jerk move that sagan didn't lead out sam bennett.
also glad sagan has wised up over the years and doesn't get pushed around in bunch sprints again. i remember a few years back when cav was on sky (i'll find the clip) where sagan was like 2nd wheel and went to like 6th within 100m because he let dudes shoulder him out of things
still lols

So I guess put me in the 1% that actually like Sagan's bike. Looks better than Hansen's if nothing else - you might "admire" his drop for some strange reason, but that doesn't make it look at all aesthetically pleasing. Sagan's bike is ridiculously over the top and I love it for that.
idgaf about weight - i'm just here to talk about bikes and their riders...

I hate his glasses but love his shoes though!
Jersey is quite nice, would have liked the stripes to continue all the way around but apart from that it's cool.

^The rainbow is cut on the jersey sides, and the sponsor logos on the chest are way too big. Compare to what he wore last year, or Lizzie, or Hushovd.
This one is just wrong, and if the UCI has not changed their ways, Bora-Hansgrohe are in for a CHF 10000 fine...

I love Sags' bike too. the only issue is the ridiculous stem bulge thingy that looks really crappy, but the rest is pure.. gold

Old lightning crank ( Specialized begins with this crank for their s works crankset and then improved it )
Lotto Belisol are riding with Campagnolo SRM power meters only available in 170 172,5 and 175 lengths
Adam is riding 180 mm crank arms so it's one way to ride with discretion a SRM power meter in the right length

If you are referring to Lance's jersey, i saw this on cyclingnews.com earlier.
"Both Americans posted the ride to Strava, and Armstrong posted a video to Instagram making note of the chilly conditions, while also making a punning reference to his endurance events company WEDU Sport."
