Paris Roubaix Tech 2012

Team Sky, this spare bike was running low profile rims, note the aluminium body pedals which the team decided to run.	Team Sky, another shot of the classic Ambrosio rims used by many of the teams opting for comfort over aerodynamic advantage.	Team Sky were using the ever popular hand made tubulars from FMB. They are the choice for many of the teams for this event.	Team Saxo Bank were riding 53x44 gearing up front and of course, FMB tubulars.	Team Saxo Bank mechanics had taped their spare bike shifter to keep the dust out.
