@jsinclair - haha you beat me to it. I was going to say almost the same thing.
Maybe that's a new model with the integrated front brake and different seat stays. I imagine the old seat stays probably fell afoul of the 3/1 rule on some of the Waslers?

Not sure whether this has been mentioned, but Alex Dowsett took his 3rd Brittish national TT title after a fall from his bike and getting rashed legs and hands. SHortly after father's day(Dowsett senior a race car driver and apparently JUnior's hero). Truly happy for this humble and friendly young fella. Brittain is super strong these days so Brittish champ is not easy feat. Not to mention he beat Wiggins in Stage 8 of the Giro.
BTW, is this the new TT rig he is riding? http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/britis ... tos/270218

Epic win by Johnny Hoogerland today! Very well deserved.
Yeah, gutsy ride from Dowsett. Not to take anything away from his Giro victory but Wiggo had mechanical issues and still nearly best him. Nonetheless, he's really stepped it up a notch this year, in the TTTs too, huge help to Movistar.

I had a blast watching the Dutch and Belgian championships today. As an American, it is such a treat to get uninterrupted, live coverage of bike racing without having to pay for premium cable channels. I channel-surfed between races all day. My Dutch must be coming along because I was able to follow the commentary quite well too.
Incredible ride by Hoogerland, one of my favorite riders in the peloton. Devolder had a fantastic win as well.

Cavendish wins the British road champs, Stannard 2nd and Millar 3rd.
Turns out his sprint looks even faster in real life than on the telly

Anywhere to see videos of these champs.
Good for Hoogerland, would love to see the video. He fell off the radar after his famed crash, but good to see him rolling strong again.
Devolder has actually had a good season so its good to see him win the national title again. People seem to give him a lot of shit, but he rode like a tank in support of FC this spring.
Also, how is it Wiggo seems to have more TT mechanicals than all other riders combined?

Splendid win by Hushovd in the Norwegian championships today. Counterattacked from a 4 man break* with 20 km to go and held off the charge with a second to spare. Kristoff 2nd, EBH 3rd, Gabba 4th and Nordhaug 5th in the main field sprint.
Gold in the TTT, silver in the TT and gold in the RR is not a bad week at all, BMC.
Hitec clean sweeped the women's podium, Cecilie Gotaas Johnsen taking the jersey.
*Actually when the four man chasing group he was policing caught the two leaders Kristoff and Holst Enger.
