It's going to be two great weekends of racing ahead with Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. I am excited about the MVP and WVA showdown and curious to see if Laporte gifting comes back to pay dividends.

love that crazy attitude, i wish more pros would tweak with their setups like that. of course cables or beard 8) cost him few watts but in this case i bet it's the position that makes him faster. sometimes it's more important how you feel about being set up on a bike than what the numbers from the armchair wind tunnel testing suggest :lol:

Astana on HEP wheels. Did they loose their Corima deal or performance driven switch?

That would make sense. He needs just the right equipment to achieve jack all and continue to make Astana lose money.
Of course it might have nothing to do with it.
