You may have noticed that we haven’t been updating the site quite as often as usual today, that’s because we’re working on our back end. “It’s not broken already”, I hear you cry. No it isn’t we’re working on the next version of the site which we will be rolling out… soon, featuring more bells, whistles and other lovely stuff. In the very short term the down side of more bells and whistles is back end tinkering and phrases like “I’m updating the live code” and “don’t touch anything!” being bandied around the road.cc office. It’s working though, already our back end has been transformed – if you were sitting here you could see for yourself – and soon our front end will be too. We’ve also made the most of our little outtage by going out riding the new ’09 Cervelo R3 SL, built up with the latest version of Dura Ace, well you would, wouldn’t you… In depth reviews of both to follow soon along with much more…
Road.cc Mk11 coming soon

Very interesting, thank you for sharing! Hope you enjoy the bike! Have to ask though, I get the Ti as it’s a titanium frame. But why Rf, a notoriously unstable synthetic and highly radioactive element?
I’m surprised by some of the comments here. I’ve always found Le Col kit pretty decent, from Pro Aqua Zero jerseys to their bib shorts, especially the Pro range.
@mdavidford Quite possibly not, but there might still be 21 yellow jerseys awarded; I'm guessing, for example, that if on Sunday it's deemed too hot for a stage some form of shortened, neutralised parade stage, possibly with a sprint finish, into Barcelona would still be held with a podium ceremony afterwards. If there's any day they absolutely don't ride at all, I'm not sure what the protocol might be.
I reckon one of the safest predictions going is that we won't get 21 [contested] stages.
I agree with Dave, I think: if UAE put Pogacar into yellow tomorrow I really wouldn't put it past him to decide to go for 21 yellow jerseys. An ordinary podium contender and an ordinary team would not countenance that but he and they are neither.
😉
I swear you guys are just baiting Surreyrider for shits and giggles now!
It is for this exact reason I never purchased any Canal+ branded jerseys. Only saw it once but it was enough.
@mitsky To be fair (through gritted teeth), hasn't the main damage to Hammersmith Bridge been from IRA bombings and boat strikes, though obviously exacerbated by heavy traffic in the subsequent years?
@Andrewbanshee Yes, and at every age, not just at our distinguished and noble years (I'm 57). I've known several people who have been a bit vain about having to start wearing glasses and so put it off for years even when it was quite obvious that they wouldn't pass the driving test "read a numberplate at twenty metres" requirement (which is itself inadequate, in my opinion). As I understand it, in the USA driver licences to be renewed every four to eight years, depending on the state (apart from Arizona and Massachusetts which are twelve years, for some reason), and an eye test is a compulsory element of renewal. High time that was introduced here.
