It's a shame this wasn't included in the Pundit competition because Vakoc was my choice for victory today... that was a really good team and individual ride.

edit - If anyone fancies running a pundit competition for any I have not listed then more than happy for that to happen

Been having a look round the Sky service course this morning - they kept Stannard's Paris Roubaix bike in its post-ride state specially for us:
And then I took Viviani's (cleaned up) K8S for the 50km ride back to the hotel. Which is nice.
Really nice to have the satellite shifters on the tops.

Looks just about the right size for me; you couldn't offer to take it away and clean it up a bit and then accidently post it to me instead could you?

On my way home now, alas. I did suggest that since Viviani won't need his cobbles bike again this season it might be ok for me to keep hold of it a bit longer... They weren't having it.
Mean, miserable rotten gits, those Sky people; not giving - nor even lending - a used ~£5K bike to one of CC's finest.
Can't totally blame them though ...
Must have been great riding Viviani's bike - and 50k is a good enough distance to get the feel of and for it.

I'm not as supple as I used to be and when I saw the length of the stem and the drop from saddle to bars, I was a bit concerned but it was surprisingly comfortable.
There must have been something wrong with the bike though - I couldn't make it go as fast as he does...

Yes, saw that in your pic of Stannard's bike and immediately thought "that's a very long stem" ! It's obviously to do with their body shapes but do they both have such long bodies/ arms and relatively shorter bodies ?

Would cobble bikes be on a smaller frame than normal, meaning longer seat post, getting the benefit from that? The hikes look gorgeous, Smutch, if you ever need someone to join you feel free to drop a line.

Felline didnae even make out out of the neutral zone, here he is showing how much of a not good idea it is to stick your hands between the forks and wheel. Ouch.

My eyesight isn't what it was but Cannondale seem to be riding metal bikes in Amstel Gold
