Cofidis busted out the Mondrain frames for the finale in Paris. I seemed to get a bunch of pictures, but these are the best. Looks much better than the white frame in my opinion.


Not sure of the exact reason, but I suspect it was just a production and timing issue. As I'm sure you can imagine, the rest of the world is super anxious to get their hands on the new '695's, so they probably couldn't spare the extra 15 frames right now since production is just getting into full swing.spookyload said:Any idea why the spare bikes were red/white 595 frames instead of 695 frames from the other thread I posted pictures of?
Probably. After the last lap the teams come around on a parade lap. It is so the spectators can see them without their helmets and get good pictures of them. Sort of an end of the race presentation. They had all sorts of shoes/uniforms. The Shack came out in their black jerseys and stirred the pot. Thor Hushovd only rode half a lap then swapped his bike with the motorcycle cop. Cop rode the last half on his Cervelo and Thor rode the guys BMW. Another rider from Garmin carried his bike on his back while riding on the back of a motorcycle with a cop. He was too tired to ride the parade lap I guess.dna930 said:Is that guy on the right side of the second picture wearing sandals?
