More Felt 2011 Info

BikeRumor.com has provided an additional look at Felt's 2011 line.  There are some good looking bikes here.  I don't think there will be many people buying the $12,499 Di2 equipped F1 or DA (I really want to...but it isn't going to happen) but I am anxious to see the rest of the models.

 

New Felt F1

The 2010 road bike season is coming towards an end and companies have started to unveil their 2011 offerings.  One bike of particular interest to me is the new Felt F1.  The new frame is said to be 20 percent lighter than the previous F1 SL and is now stiffer than the F1 Sprint.  The new bike should be available in Fall 2011 and I know a bike shop that would be happy to get one of these for you.  Until it is available, you can read more about it here.

Get Dirty

It appears that MC SpandX (who brought us the Internet sensation Performance) has taken his talents to the trails. 

TdF 2010 Stage 3 (Spoiler Alert)

The following recap of Stage 3 comes from Glenn.  It is an entertaining read and an great recap.  For the record, I don't have a problem with cobbles in a three week race.  I think the winner of the Tour should be the best all-around cyclist and not just the individual that climbs the best with the least sucky time trial.

Cobbles, I love 'em and I hate 'em. The question is do they belong in a three week race, or save them for the classics? Talk amongst yourselves.

What a stage, my guy Frank hit the pave and broke his collarbone. Cobbles BAD I like Frank, he makes me look HUGE. ASO better apologize to Jens or he will attack and attack until he spins the world backward, goes back in time and destroys the ASO before they were born.

Chavanel looses the yellow because of multiple bike changes/flat tires. Cobbles BAD or BAD luck? Don't think for a min that he can't ride cobbles, he can Check out Flanders and Roubaix of '09 he put it down for his team. He is French, but rides for a Belgium squad. I say bad luck.

Saxo went FULL GAS and destroyed the field (looked like a classic). Cobbles Good Thor was in there, big surprise, Fabian owns the cobbles (really he does, he has two sitting on his mantel at home). Andy was glued to Fabian's wheel (tricky mechanics and tubular glue, sticky stuff, try getting it out of your jersey). Did I see a Rainbow jersey up there? I did I did see a Rainbow jersey. Where did Evans come from dude from down-under is killin' and no one is taking notice-- you better, this guy can podium. I will spare you the Contador/Lance line, you have already heard it 20 times by now.

Vino drops Contador (flat tire) in the last 250m. Mistake or Plan?

Ryder, Ryder, Ryder, there is something Canadian aboot that guy. Did you see the big hole in his jersey? He kept dropping HAMMERS out of it. He gets Caught by the World RR & TT Champs, and has enough left in the tank to hang on and then contest the sprint. Little known fact: Ryder was a b'dass MNT Biker.

Side Note: If Fabian was not babysitting he would have won the stage solo by 5min.
