I voted other, cos I’ve got a thing for the Yellow Mavic spare bikes that the neutral mechanics vehicle pack.
Are they still 'Nagos this year?
Edit, looks like they’re 'Dales http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/photos/tour-tech-more-tidbits-from-the-tour-de-france/130592
Mclaren s-works and the lampre willier.
Both damn sexy.
I checked out the Willier with super record the other day damn sexy but about $17,000.
the saur sojasan times are absolutely mental
ilike that yellow jersay colnagio.
good aaaaas
I second that notion!
Yeah, I doubt you would get change out of that for any of the bikes there. It makes me cringe when I see the riders chuck
a ‘tanty’ on the road side and throw there bikes on the ground in disgust because of a flatty or a small machanical.
Easily ends in a bent derailieur/hanger, bent/scratched levers ect.
Obviously they take it for granted… dont they realize there are starving kids in Australia that would happily ride that Pinarello!!
Its funny most bike colour schemes match with their ‘get-up’, yet the Lampre Willier has nothing like Lampre’s Colours.
Is Cavendish the only HTC rider on the McLaren S-Works Venge?
Pity the vote only allows 10 options, so we could list all and get a better vote going.
Much agreed. Im more a traditionalist, give me a square frame /non compact /non aero anyday.
What about tennis players?
haha, I only watch womens tennis.
The custom black canyons are my pick… (gilbert/greipel/VDB).
i do like the black SL4/mclarens (goss has one, i know vino had one, there are a few more out there) - which is odd as i normally dont like special-Eds.
You just have a thing for them after this Jens moment:-
The neutral bikes are heaps better this year.
+1
this^^
and I kinda like the Canyons too. The seat cluster on the BMC always gets me too.
^^ Agreed
Lampre Wilier
Europcar Colnago
BMC
maybe the Liquigas Cannondale too (what’s with that seatpost?)
That would be good to play around with. Just goes to show that these pros need things like this on their bikes to get the weight up to the limit!
I quite like the BMC — partly because of the frame construction. I don’t think its overdesigned. However gloss black is the wrong colour. I’m looking forward to seeing that bike in bright yellow before the end of the Tour.
I also like the McLaren Specialised. It looks okay in the flat black – but I think all Specialised bikes should really be bright red.
I also like the Mavic neutral support bike. Its a nice looking bike.
PS - daniel seems to be suggesting that greenedge will be using Scott bikes next year (unless I’ve misunderstood him). And there I was, thinking that they might use upgraded Malvern Star Oppy Pros. An Oppy in the TdF? Yes!
Especially if you were riding against him…
yep. second year running petacchi is my favourite rider.
(i base my pick solely on the dayglo-ness of the kit and bike and, i suppose, if they’re close enough to the front that they’re on camera occasionally)
I was under the impression that HTC are riding the Tarmac SL-3 Frame for this year, apparently the Venge is only used for a couple of stages…
either way, total sex.
this one gets my vote alllll the way 
how bout a poll of the best TT bikes?
