Check Cadel's brake lever blades. Right at the top, there are two visible cutouts. (There are actually three, but the third is hidden.)

2010 Campagnolo Super Record has three such cutouts:

Campagnolo Record only has two. Campagnolo Chorus doesn't have any:

The implication is that Basso wasn't racing the Giro with Super or Pedestrian Record; rather, he was racing on Chorus. I don't blame him (the only difference between Chorus and Super Record are materials like Titanium and ceramics--the design and function are the same), but it's strange that Campy would let an Italian win the Giro on anything less than their flagship money-maker.

Birillo's bike is probably under 6.8 so they're probably using Chorus to bump up the weight.

Basso was not TECHNICALLY using Chorus. Record 11, up until the 2011 model (which Basso is not riding), did not have any cutouts. The 2011 Record levers have 2 cutouts compared to 2011 Super Records 3 cutouts. Basso is seen in that photo riding 2010 Record shifters, thus no cutouts.

The reason I say Basso was not "Technically" riding Chorus is because 2010 Chorus and Record Levers are identical, other than their labels. I guess both sides are right here :p

Very nice picture. It's one of those rare pictures where you can see how steep it is.

+1. You have to get down to the floor to get that effect. :) That's why the Ronde pics "op de Kapelmuur" are generally quite arresting: apart from the special crowds, the photographers' cameras are actually on the ground and they use their digital viewfinders to do the composition. When standing or on the back of the motorbike, that effect is completely lost.

True about the 2010 Campy, I was just confused b/c Evans seems to be riding the 2011 w/ cutouts. I'm still confused. Why would Evans the Australian be on the newest, shiniest bits, but not Basso the Italian?

Here's some Halloween 'cross fun:

Am I mistaken if I assume you like BMC?

Please don't start this in this topic. Yeh he loves BMC, but he mostly loves Cadel Evans. That's fine. This thread is about pictures and he posted a very nice picture of BMCs Cadel Evans.
