Today's useless cycling trivia:
1. Pinarello is the #1 winning TdF bike. 15 wins (including both the steel and carbon eras).
2. All of Lance Armstrong's Trek TdF bikes had a downtube shifter for the front derailleur and a standard brifter for the rear derailleur. This is generally said to be for a 2-3 ounce weight savings. Maybe. I think it may have been more to eliminate the possibility of an accidental shift when braking.
