BikeRadar: We've frequently noted numerous little tweaks and upgrades in the past on the bikes of Team Sky captain and current maillot jaune Bradley Wiggins: ultralight custom wheels with Enve carbon rims and Tune or Chris King hubs, full-ceramic bearings, and his trademark O.symetric chainrings. That attention to detail extends beyond his bike, however, as even his shoes are notably lighter than what's used by the majority of the peloton.



Pinot defends top 10 position in Tour's final time trial.
Thibaut Pinot soloed to a brilliant victory on stage 8
CyclingNews: Thibaut Pinot (FDJ-BigMat), whom many see as this Tour de France's biggest revelation, has been able to save his top ten overall placing during Saturday's time trial in Chartres. Under pressure by AG2R's Nicolas Roche (11th overall at the start, trailing Pinot by 1:08) and especially RadioShack's Andreas Klöden (12th), the 22-year-old Frenchman did well enough not to lose his tenth place on the overall classification.

Another American, the reigning USA National road champion Miguel Bryon of the USA Selection A team claimed his second win of the event.
