Thanks for the payments folks. For confirmation, I received payment from the following (I put first/last initials for those of you who didn't indicate your TGR name):

MP
Eff U Cat
acinpdx
Dee Hubbs
Flyoverland Captive
RM

Hopefully next year we'll be able to use Velogames again (or something better than what ASO put out).

MP = huckbucket. Humbled in defeat yet again. Nice work man!

Looks like Velogames is going to be up and running again. They have a new update posted. Sounds positive.

Tour riders are sometimes on bikes not yet available to the public.

Interesting topic on its own...i dont think this is the case though. Certainly custom fit parts but its documented that many pros ride off the shelf bikes, but with high end fitting.

TT frames might vary the most as they not only have come a long way tech wise, but aero and handling makes the most difference in the TT stages.

Would be interested to know if this is not the case.

Thx

The most important word in that sentence is “yet”.
Since 2011 all frames and forks used must be available to public. This means in order to be on the UCI approved list the frame must be and/or):
• already manufactured
• on the market
• already at the production stage

The approved UCI list is an interesting place to learn about new models. Many bike forums speculate all of the new models based off new additions to this list.
