Yeah, saw that too, with the cranks and all. And what was the little saddle
bag thingy he had? He changed bikes for some reason and got on the one with
the SRM.

That is rare in big event when the rider's team in question is sponsored by
Shimano. I understand they are a lot harder to deal with when swapping out
component especially at the big races. I think they typically have agreed
upon fines in the contracts. Campagno is thought to have the same set up but
is more flexible that Shinano in that regard. Jens Voight is on CSC who use
FSA (Full Speed Ahead) and they seemed to be far more flexible than the big
2. Maybe they have no penalty clause?

Have you ever seen a Shimano sponsored team show up to a race with a non
Shimano crank (like an SRM or any other)? I can't recall ever seeing it.
Chris Boardman used to race with the SRM at times but I think CA and GAN was
then using Campagnolo although when all is said and done any rider can do it
if he does not mind the penalties (weight and fines).

The Danish narrators on Eurosport said it was his training bike. It
certainly was with a different set of wheels for the cobblestones, so maybe
their top Cervélo isn't too nice under bumpy conditions. Didn't see any of
the others change though, so it could have been due to defect.

Where did you see him race with an SRM? I always wondered why he
(apparently) never did but I have no trouble believing that I simply missed
it.

Armstrong often races with an SRM in the early season - try www.srm.de for
pics from previous years.

I seem to remember that Gan used Mavic cranks and other gear for a
couple of the Boardman years. Those cranks are very heavy compared to same
era Campy and Shimano.
