Toto: Italian for Fred?

[slice2]

what's the deal with Salvatore Commesso's seat pack? I don't think I've ever
seen one in a pro race, but of course our local masters races will have a
few guys with fully loaded seat packs and camelbacks for a 40 minute crit...

Part of the electronic shifting system, according to Michel Wuyts. But you
could be right, as they asked the question and read some incoming e-mails
about it.

I think it's a radio transmitter to send his biometric data (heart
rate, speed, wattage) to a receiver someplace. The folks at SRM put
it up online for all to see live during the course of the stage -->

They did this last year with Voigt and a few other riders, and I did
notice that Commesso had a SRM box on his handlebars in yesterday's
stage.
