    Continental tyres will be at the Tour as the official supplier to four of the teams that have qualified for the race. Jan Ullrich's T-Mobile squad will be riding Continental for the seventh consecutive season. Tyler Hamilton, another big favourite will be riding for the swiss Phonak team who will use Continental Competition & Tempo tubulars. Credit Agricole and Lotto-Domo will also ride on Conti rubber, as they do every year. They believe in the product and trust that Continental tyres will supply reliability, speed and unrivalled grip in pursuit of Tour de France glory.

    I would be interested to know what USPS is using for tires ! Anyone know ??

  9. I have no idea, but I bet it depends on road conditions as they have different tires for different days.

    I can tell you that what ever version of Contis Phonak is running must be [censored] -- they've had more punctures than anyone else it seems.

    Odd, I thought it was well known that Phonak are guinea-pig'n the Michelin
    tubeless road tires this year.

    I don't know if Continental wants to talk too much about the tires Phonak's been
    running.

    Is it just bad luck? Bad batch of tires? Mechanics missing something? Or does it
    just seem like they're having more than a statistical fair share of trouble?

    Are you really this dumb or just pretending? First you tell someone to buy
    a $500 bike at Walmart, then you post a bunch of TdF press releases (in some
    weird HTML or whatever), and now this. You /do/ realize that a plonk
    doesn't work retroactively, right?

    Yeah, I guess after all the flats Phonak had, I was thinking they were using
    this new tech. Looks to be a reliable technology, but I still can't figure
    out which problems tubeless road tires solve. I'm sure I will one-day be
    using them, however...
