T-3: Meet the Steed

My weapon of choice for the TdF100 is the new S-Works Tarmac SL4 running 40mm carbon Roval rims and S-Works 700x24 Turbos. Steered by 3T carbon Team Ergonova bars and powered with Dura-ace 9000.

Velociraptor (/vɨˈlɒsɨræptər/; meaning 'swift seizer' is his name. And when it comes to bike racing - that means seizer of opportunity and victory. Velo - French for bicycle.

The Raptor

As Lockheed Martin says: "The combination of stealth, speed, agility, precision and situational awareness, combined with unbelievable combat capabilities, makes The Raptor the best overall fighter in the world today".

I'm really looking forward to rolling the Cols, enjoying the scenery and particularly descending on this beast.

At T-3 I'm still unwell - c'mon white blood cells - ATTACK.
