Pretty sure they've already confirmed Pinarello for next year. Should've used them here as well, didn't do Uran any harm...

Well, unless Pinarellos make you look left when the race is going right. . .

My guess is that Millar will ride his Cervelo. The Sky guys will be on the BC bikes because the Pinarello sucks. It's heavy and requires really exotic components to reach 6.8, like integrated seat/seat post combos. I've heard that the Sky-guys are not happy with it.

Wonder what Wigans will ride in the TT, the Pina is for sure one of the slowest TT bikes at that level, at least compared to BMC, Cervelo, Cannondale, Specialized and Trek

Surprised to see Wiggins riding the UKSI machine rather than his tried and tested Graal. Remember what happened last time he rode a new bike for a key event?

Wow, I wonder how much time the sky crew would have put into the opposition on fast bikes:rolleyes:

No way 'team marginal gains' are riding bikes that are substantially slower than most other bikes on the market. They would definitely not have resigned a deal.

Isn't it obvious that Wiggins is going to ride the top-secret barely-competition-legal mystery British Cycling bike? With the weird stem/bars and the same frame for both RR and TT. That's where you get your marginal gains ;) .
