Levi's new Madone for the 2008 year. Hell yeah!
If you need a jersey just give Astana a call....man, those things are ugly.
As of right now you can check out team updates, etc.
here.
So I was reading some info on the Astana team camp and Ben Coates, the Astana Team Technical Liason said this about the new Bontrager Race X-Lite Hardcase clincher tires:
"The third big success of the camp was that
the team rode the new Bontrager Race X-Lite
Hardcase clincher tire and they had only two
flats all week. At first I was a little bummed to
hear that they had any flats at all, but I quickly
realized how good that was. I was talking with
one of the mechanics and he mention that they
used to have to replace between five and ten
tubes and two or three tires “per day” because
of flats. He was a little nonchalant about it
but I quickly picked up how impressed he was
with the new tires. He even asked if he could
decrease the numbers of tires on his order
because he was not going to have to change
tires as often. It’s not often you get to decrease
an order because the stuff’s so good. They like
the tires, they don’t get flats, and they don’t
need as many, those are all good things for me."
My pair of tires will be mounted tomorrow. Pictures are not up on the
Bontrager website so I will post them tomorrow.
I have also changed my 2008 spring campaign.......again. I have decided to just focus seasonally and not the whole year all at once. It is easier with a family, I am finding that out training wise.
Thanks for reading!
