Briefly saw a rider from AG2R at the front yesterday, didnt even realise they were in the Tour this year !Hats off to Agritubel ( makers of Agricultural Pens - didnt realise cows could write ! )Isn't it wonderful how continental companies sound so much more exotic?"Agritubel" sound so much better than "Gush and Dent" - the UK equivalent (used to be at least)Fassa Bortolo sounded so much better than Rugby CementI still miss the few rides (careful now!) I had in the Sauna Diana jersey (Dutch/Belgian border brothel!)I wonder if the continentals lust after our jerseys - Halfords, etc in the same way?
It is sometimes rather funny to find out what these companies do indeed.... Mapei, Aqua e Sapone...

That article made me chuckle. Rants on about oval tubing internal cables and fully sliptreamed to make the bike cut through the wind, then they go and pop a chunky GPS on the stem They could have thought that out a bit better?
Crikey, another one for Cav.
