Wait until the big time trial, then photo galleries will appear on all the major cycling sites.
The TT is on Saturday.

Yeah thanks Barch...was hoping to see the goods before then.

They should really have a TT early in the tour and not just one towards then end. Really looking forward to see the hardware.

The route changes every year, this year just happened to have one ITT at the end. With that said, the Giro and Vuelta usually starts with a prologue or TTT

So thats the deal with all the water bottles on the down tube?

...or the radio;s on the back? Aero much?

Wish I could get a new bike every time I flat.

Cycling news article on tony martin winning the tt has a gallery of all the riders. Movistars catlike helmet looks pretty cool.

Noticed that also. Two teams using standard water bottle on the down tube??

Also, what tires/tubes did AG2R run...2 flats on a clean TT course.

BTA's not allowed, Rear bottles not allowed.

Some aero downtube bottles are allowed - the bontrager one I believe is used occasionally? But most aren't legal

That is pretty slick, I'm using a Scott split and strain my neck allot just to see the road ahead. Might be a good option.

What front wheel is Team Sky using:

HED GT3 (new revised H3)

blacked out or branded with Shimano Pro decals of course.....

That looks too deep to be the H3 GT, which only has a 46.5mm rim depth. Also, those spokes look like they taper toward the rim, where the H3 line does not.

I am still on the wall on what to get a tri spoke or a 808?

On paper the 808 looks faster but the tri spoke looks much cooler

Why not a Corima 3 or 4 spoke? They're pretty dang awesome just not easy to find to buy in the US.

The Corima 3-spokes I've seen have sharp edges at the rim - gut instinct says that can't be good for aero.

Must be a new Shimano PRO wheel. Looks like it has a wide rim with narrow spokes and it appears to use the same TeXtreme carbon fibre as found on the PRO disc. Very interesting.

Looks like cheapo 12k and not very flush with the tire. I still like fat spoked wheels

Om the other end of the spectrum this is probably the ugliest. Doesn't look as bad here as from the front. http://www.cyclingnews.com/...age-20/photos/316132

Their 3 and 4 spoke wheels have spokes that are "airfoil" shaped. I.e. The wheels actually have a direction to them for rotation. The leading edge is wider and blunter and the trailing edge tapers to a point.

interesting to see different disc wheels on riders from the same team... BMC using Lightweight & PROs

Yeah, but I mean the back edge ends abruptly, and the transition to the rim is also very angular.

ZONE3 - We Last Longer

you're right.

They're Shimano PRO-division wheels.

Even Team Sky don't "know" their name??

If you ever seen the PRO 4 rays, I believe this is a follow up on that design minus 1 spoke and i'm assuming a wider rim as all wheels come nowadays.

On another note, IAM cycling was rocking this frame and I am jealous! Could've done better in the Time Trials if they slapped a 58t chainring on it too..
