Boardman clips in ITV4 TdeF coverage...

[Pupp]

...anyone else wondering why he does not seem to be riding one of his own bikes in the 'filler' snippets (Cervelo?

I think it is one of "his" bikes. With the black and yellow colours. I think he just has to hide the branding and it may be a prototype he is testing.

Noticed that on the team TT stage....it was a frame where the seat stays joined the seat tube about halfway up - not a frame like that in the boardman range as far as I know.

Edit to add - just had a quick look, could be one of their carbon time trial frames but fitted with standard drop bars and road components (none of the TT kit)

Think it is one of the premium TT frames; just didn't look like any of the Halfords' frames...

More importantly why has he allowed himself to be persuaded into recoding those cringe-worthy voice overs for the Boardman ads?

I think it's a prototype, he tweeted about it a week or so ago:

Just wanted to thank @SRAMJase for sorting my prototype bike out for tomorrow's ride up the finish hill, a gent.
