Barguil and his Fortuneo team will not w2018 ear Spiuk helmets in 2018 (like in the past 5-6 years)
new partners will be announced soon (ehehe, the race to get Barguil use your stuff is strong, Look had the best of Giant at the eleventh hour to keep supplying Fortuneo)

The Most cockpit doesn’t look good to me. I really prefer the Pro Vibe cockpit, either as stem and handlebar or as the Stealth Evo stem/ handlebar combo.

That Wilier is actually a decent bike I just test rode one recently.

Again the MOST cockpit looks alright in person. Sort of fits the F10s wavy lines.

Strange they did the video on C50s... maybe because the graphics compliment that F10 scheme alright?

I like the Most stem better than the Pro Vibe stem for example as the shape is better with the F10 indeed.

But then the aero handlebars and the stem/handlebar combo just look bad to me. Too bulky. Here the Pro Vibe handlebar and the Pro Stealth Evo look much better.

IMO most (pun intended 8) ) aerobars and bar/stem combos look pretty bad, just something about the lines around the join which either look way too angular or way too wavy. This ruegamer one is pretty nice though.

On Froome and Sky:
- I think Team Sky put themselves in a fragile position, and they loose credibility IMHO.
Usually, teams will suspend their athlete immediatly after A and B samples are declared positive. We saw all the similar cases the last few years... Athletes's contracts are usually clear on that subject: You brake the doping rules, you're out. It would be interesting to see the progress of events on this: Does Froome have to prove his "innocence" to the Team owners to stay in the Team... ? That would make sense...

Now Team Sky is affirming along with Froome that "their" protocol, or whatever Ventolin ingestion method, is correct. So that implies an "organised" substance use protocol by the Team and Team doctors. Looks and feels very similar to Motorola/US Postal team from a few years back to me...
