Tour De France Technology - Tour Tech 2












This looks like a Zipp wheel laced up to a Specialized hub and spokes. I am sure it provides for a very aero rim and stiff. Having such short spokes and the long 'flange' of the hub helps.




No one still has published what these yellow boxes are? From the Garmin Team. I think they are Power Tap GPS/Sat. Link boxes. The car receives the data from the Power Tap hubs or it goes up to a satelite directly to the web? Still waiting to find out.
