It probably flaps around a bit more than a true speed demon would accept, but it's nice for jumping on and off the bike and pottering round towns mid ride if you're not a fan of being seen out in padded lycra...

They're losing the Schlecks, Contador is personally sponsored by Specialized, Saxo Bank also use Specialized currently. Looks like he'll be taking the Spanish speaking Astana riders anyway. I think it's a good thing, Astana still feel to me to be a little bit dodgy, Vino with so much influence, the pay/sponsor problems last year.......
