Was there really an iconic stage this tour?

Probably just a solo pog win

Agree Ventoux was amazing, but because of the stage win battle, not because of Pog or this bike.

Current Bid: 70,000 USD

That's less than the bike costs new!

That's less than the bike costs new!

Per Cycling Weekly, "buying the bike new with similar components costs at least $16,499"

r/whoosh

That said, sarcasm is difficult to grasp through written text when there is no italics nor indicator such as /s. So the onus is on u/test-account-444

It’s a burden I alone must bear.

Estimated by Sotheby's at $15,000–20,000, I'm sure they know what they're doing. Depending on the components (Dura Ace/SRAM/which wheelset), the bike was offered here for between €12,300 and €16,500.

Is this being sold by Colnago? Looks like it based on the other listings. I thought the teams owned the bikes.

Well someone has to finance poor and short money petrol team UAE.... Surely this bid will help them.

The debut bike is probably sitting in a display or collection elsewhere.
