one more of the men. This is on the stiff climb before the false flat to the finish. The road races may be decided here.

It's pretty clear why BMC won. BMC's lead rider's scowl has got to be a 1/4 second/kilometer faster than Etixx's.

Are those your photos? Amazing shots! If so, can't wait to see what you bring home from this weekend.

Yeah, really good shots; level of detail is amazing. On the last image of the Rabo-Liv squad, what is it that is sticking out of the neck line of ladies jerseys? You don't see it on the other image when they are still in wait position; only once they bend over so i gather it must be relatively heavy.

Good question, I was wondering that too. You can see another pic of it here. It looks awkward. Boels looks like the only team with it.

probably gels. though I always wonder why you would need that for a 50min race.

Gels? Sure why not. I was wondering, but in the Puritan USA, one must not go there . . .

Hahaha - great shot LSD.
Normally I use energy bars but at Haute Route used gels. They worked great for getting up the climbs but a major downside was that the empty tubes made a huge mess in jersey pockets.

It looks like a lot of gel for a relatively short race.

On closer look - are they carrying water bottles or no?

I'm guessing they are just using their assets to stow water bottles in a place that is very fast to get to and aero. Creative thinking.
Reminds me of hearing a well endowed woman at a race many years ago saying she didn't envy the men in hot weather; that she could unzip her jersey
(in the days when zipper pulls were never longer than 10") and feel the breeze all the way down to the waist of her shorts.
