    Thought occurred to me whilst watching the racing over the weekend -

    Are there any teams in the Tour de France with drastically inferior/superior road bikes or are they pretty much interchangeable once spec'd out to the riders needs?

    Mostly these days they are much the same. Ag2r used Decathlon bikes a few years ago when Moreau rode for them. They were supposed to be quite poor.

    A Pinarello Dogma frameset apparently weighs about 1850g in production spec. That is borderline embarrassing.

    If Wiggins was riding a Specialized instead he'd be in yellow. ;)
