Fenders like that are ok for keeping ones own behind from getting too cold and wet. I've been using an even smaller one from Ass Savers (model Smart Ass) this autumn.

Yep, whether we like it or not, Greipel has chosen the sensible way of going about things. Don't get me wrong, I dislike fenders as much as the next fender hater, but they do have the odd upside to them, too. Cold spray into the crack/chamois can actually be downright painful. Quite a few pros seem to go for fenders of some kind when they can / need to (doesn't mean everyone else has to, of course).

Re: Katusha

If pro cycling wasn't fukked up and weird enough already, the UCI just did it again...without any explanation! Absurd has been left in the rear view mirror, only a cliff can be ahead.

Is that the 2013 Fenix ? Looks a bit like it, but with bigger rear triangle.

I saw the frame (carbon) at my LBS. It's pretty nice !!!

The complete Ultegra bike looks like a great package, at a good price...
