For a moment, I was wondering if this was a belated April Fools' prank thread. A good one for you (in addition to "SRAM buys Campagnolo") would have been "Shimano and SRAM to Discontinue Manufacturing Mechanical Brakes; Campagnolo to Close Doors."

If you get Bein Sport then you can watch it on their website with Rob Hatch and Magnus Backstedt. I've had it on from 160+ km to go.

Sean Kelly never won the Tour of Flanders. Must not have been a very good rider. He also never rode discs. Maybe if he had ridden discs he would have won.

:cool:

There just brakes and they better not be using them much… My only issue is the hoods are so huge that getting good sprint position while also have a good position on the hood my be harder.

Doubt they will used them next week.
