Most likely will be the wheel of choice front and rear for Frodo and Kienle in Kona.

Cool!
Did anyone else notice his arm pads are tilted pretty significantly even though his forearms are roughly horizontal?

I did notice that. I've been trying to find pictures on the front end to see how the tilt works on that bike. Haven't found much that clearly depicts it.....

well, we'll have to wait for the white paper before we can be sure. I'm mean, they'll SAY its more expensive, but is it really? in all conditions, for all riders?
you really have to test them yourself to be sure.

Is Tony Martin a dentist?
I hate him already and wish I had whiter teeth.

Round bottle on the downtube. He's doing it wrong.

By then the P5x will be obsolete we will have the P6 followed up with zipp wheels that cost $5k.

Good catch. If I had to guess he has been experimenting with the high hand position he tried last year. Notice that the pads are also about an inch or two farther forward. This allows him to have his hands higher and still get around that maximum pad to bar tip height,... I think

You can see it in this picture were it goes on top of the stack of spacers and moves the extensions and arm pads inwards:

It looks like he's got custom angled adapters on top of whole stack. The ones that Lange has (I've got them too, but didn't try yet) are different.

I couldn't sleep last night so I fiddled a bit with my Shiv which has level arm rests and positions my forearms roughly level. I cut up an old mousepad to create some neoprene "shims" for the front of my arm rests to recreate an angle. Surprise! It was really comfy and felt really secure! Worth trying IMO.
