Yumeya

Shimano is introducing aftermarket titanium & carbon fiber bits to upgrade XTR groups. They'll be releasing more information about the Yumeya parts at EuroBike and at Shimano.com September 1st. I'd also expect to see the same information at InterBike. Originally found at Singletrack Magazine.

Vuelta by the Numbers

TuttoBiciWeb has the start lists & bib numbers for the Vuelta a España here.

Sastre's pinned #1. No Voigt, Cancellara, A. Schleck, or F. Schleck for the Vuelta. CSC-Saxo bank is the team with the most nations represented by their riders (Spain, Russia, Denmark, Ukraine, Belarus, the Netherlands, & Argentina). By my count, there will be riders from a total of 23 nations riding in this year's Vuelta. Leipheimer, riding for Astana, is the only rider from the United States in this year's Vuelta.

You can check out the official Vuelta sight at lavuelta.com.

Which bikes for Saxo Bank?

If it is indeed true that Cervelo will be sponsoring a new team next year (as discussed August, 21st), which bikes will Saxo Bank be riding?
