Found it! I knew there was something that EF reminded me of in particular.
It's CC Loulé-Louletano-Orbitur-Aquashow in circa 2009-10.
I think they're trying to look like the entire Portuguese péloton of that era at the same time, to be honest, as there's definitely hints of 2008 LA-MSS, 2008 Barbot-Siper and 2009 Madeinox-Boavista about them too.
A further minus point for making me think of João Cabreira unintentionally.

Actually I think they are just trying to be cool, young and different and there is that Skater fashion to mix the most impossible patterns - although I think the high tide of that is over. It's attention seeking to me. I am usually not exactly conservative. But plain will be plain will be plain. The tight spaced dots for which Rapha has a thing are plain by themselves. The placement of the logos is plain as *** And the fire-induced faces on the sides don't make it better. I really have to get over this to be able to enjoy the race...

I hope the gusts of wind aren't becoming too dangerous (riding a disc with sidewind on a 100K/hr downhill isn't really comforting!).
Campenaerts' crash however was purely about braking enough before the corner.
He bragged before the TT that his bike had disc wheels and thus he could brake faster than Ganna on rim brakes (and thus would gain some seconds in the hairpins).
That backfired quickly.

I don't know. guys interested in the KOM should take this one. The hard part is that the real TT specialists are not holding back on the climb, because they have some rest after the climb on the downhill, so they don't have to pace themselves too much.

Was completely straight so unless he hit a manhole cover or something it would seem an odd crash so I'm leaning mechanical. Guess we'll find out
