I think the Trek is the most stylish, so voted for that, but I do like the new Garmin kit. I'm a fan of the Rapha Sky kit but the more little sponsor logos they add the less I like it!

Wiggins workdesk has had a spring rearrange, as seen here in this shot from Majorca ... the usual RAF Roundel stem cap, a stem made from a refurbished lamp post (it's long) and he's got a whopping Garmin 810 up front. Sky are using the Stages brand power metres this year, they work on a sensor that sits in one side of the crank arm (I think) - don't know if Wiggo will have a two sided set up, or if they even do such a thing at Stages - the base power metres they sell start at Β£600 apparently, according to a marketing blurb I read.

Kittel outsprints Greipel to win TDU prologue. I managed to watch the Tour Down Under live before I went out for my morning ride today. For those that are interested and haven't come across it before, this is a good link to pro cycling events. www.steephill.tv/There is link to an Australian broadcaster who streamed the entire race with commentary by good old Phil and Paul no less.

The stages system is a sensor that is factory bonded to the none drive side crank arm, it reads all the power info and doubles it for the overall power. (Ok for 99.9% of riders, not many riders have such an inbalance to make a massive difference to the final output) you can't buy the sensor separate, you buy the crank to match the drive side, Dura-Ace, XTR etc. not as expensive as the Garmin pedal solution!

Should of paid a lot more attention to foreign languages at school. Trying to follow the Tour de San Luis on Twitter (#TourdeSanLuis) and most of it is in Spanish. Oh well.
Looks fun, extreme heat, a tummy bug (Petacchi out with it), a 30 man crash and 5 riders up the road.
edit:looks like Quintana, Phinney and Purito may also have the tummy bug.

Break split in two but still got it
1)Philip Gaimon 2)Emiliano Contreras 3)Marc De Maar 4)Leo Messineo
Been watching the single camera TV coverage and getting massively frustrated. San Luis is always a nightmare to keep up with.
Gaimon (Garmin-Sharp) is a real talent and I'm looking forward to watching the kid develope.

Where are you getting this transmission from Fluff? www.ustream.tv/channel/canal13sanluistv Its a stream of San Luis TV and only really shows a view from behind the finish line. You do get some commentary in highly excited Spanish but as I can't speak it. Pretty much same as last year unfortunately, especially since it is always a good race.

The new Belkin Kit is pretty nice... They're running a 'no gloves' policy!
