    1. Yes, yes. I can look at the bike without your yammering on. What I would like to hear more of is what features make the bike faster? What makes it more comfy? What makes it handle better? What makes it better to ride when you’re sitting on it? I really don’t give a rats ass about the fracking paint or decals. Performance vs perception. Fashion is evil people taking money from stupid people.

    2. Clearly the technology has plateaued on so many fronts. What we see here is a replication of the same across all the brands. There's little, if anything, to distinguish one brand from another. You could argue that competition across the brands pushes innovation. But wait a sec, a bicycle is still a relatively simple machine and we've already had great bikes for almost 20 years now, if not more. You could even get a great bike back in Merckx's day.
      Second point, UCI should seriously consider having a standard issue bike for all the teams to use in unison. It's such a wasted effort to weigh and spec each brand individually according to the rules. As a cyclist I'm sure people will appreciate the disdain for wasted efforts.
