Funny how that works...

Mavic's 'research' for wheel designs to tackle Roubaix...

Thor Hushovd is getting ready for the Paris-Roubaix from Mavic on Vimeo.



Now that you've watched the video, the new M40 wheel they are getting all foamed about sounds suspiciously similar to the Zipp 303 Roubaix version on which Cancellara dispatched all comers last year. 40mm height? Check. Wider profile? Check. More Spokes? Check.

What's the bet there's more than a few sets of HEDs and Zipps floating around the Service Course at Mavic?

Edit-
The Madonna del Ghisallo is going to fuck up someone's day very soon.



Visconti's Italian National Champ painted Cipollini was lifted out of his car IN ITALY!
Someone will take a smite worthy of being chronicled in journals, both cycling and biblical, for generations. That's just BAAAAAAD juju!
First, stealing bikes is bad, but stealing this particular rig, from the Italian National Champ, and doing it IN Italy? Fuuuuuuu....
