The KOM leader was on a venge the first several days. I've seen several others in breakaways.

Not an answer to your question, but ... I've ridden quite a number of road bikes quite a number of miles over quite a number of years. I've never had a bike quite so remarkable as my Venge. I absolutely LOVE it!

Ok I guess I will keep my eyes taped open I have to watch at night when in tired . Do you have the s-works or pro ?

Is the six watts (as claimed by Spesh) saved when riding the Venge as opposed to the SL3 (not SL4) worth it for a harsher ride/extra weight??
Secondly most guys dont like changing between bikes frequently.

Where does it say venge is six watts over sl3?
How much does it compare to sl4?

Article form Velonews, its about a month or so old. Search Tom Boonen Venge
Not sure why they dont compare it to SL4, maybe there is less of a difference. I doubt it would be much though, the SL4 is an aero brick, with its huge tubes and wide stance. The 6 watts is when you are riding in a pack (ie not in the wind) this number rises to 25watts at 40kmh when riding out the front.

Ex-VeloNews student intern here. The article your referring to actually states that the seat post alone saves 4 watts over the Tarmac in a crosswind at 25mph just for the seat stays. The article continues to explain that the whole bike has a 20W power savings over the Tarmac SL4. The source of the claimed data comes from Specialized "aero-pharroh" Mark Cote. I'm not sure where the article is on the site now-- I think that Lennard Zinn wrote it. I'll hunt it down and source what I wrote above here.
Thanks for that....yeah that article was very interesting
