Mercedes-Benz has been using carbon for years long before the trend started hitting its stride in the bike business mainly due to their Formula 1 efforts.

“It’s as if I’ve already won it. No really, I’m not joking,” he told La Dernière Heure.
Bettini place 12th in Wednesday’s Fleche Wallone, but explained that he [...]
Follow the Tour de Georgia with the tdgblog. It looks like it is the same folks that bring you the tdfblog.com as the format is very similar. There are links to photosets on Flickr and reports from folks who are at the race this year.
The Flickr links are by far the best feature since [...]
