A few days ago we announced the Cervelo Soloist Carbon bike as this year's le Tour Grand Prize. Today we are pleased to confirm that Saris will be joining the prize list again in this year's games. The first runner-up will win a Cycleops Powertap 2.4 wireless. They have upgraded the world's most accurate, lightest power meter to be the world's first wireless meter, meaning you can easily switch it between bikes. Powertap 2.4 measures watts, cadence, heart rate, speed, kilojoules, averages and graphs out your workout for you so you can chart your training progress. Powertap expert Allen Lim uses the Powertap 2.4 exclusively to coach the US based Slipstream Chipotle squad. The 2.4 combines the lightweight reliable SL hub with a 2.4GHz transmission. Hub to handlebar...no strings attached!
