Team Sky has used these Token-branded chain catchers for several years now. They must be working just fine. Boasson Hagen will likely ride a 53-42 chainring combo on his 175mm crankarms on Sunday. Photo: Nick Legan

One of Team Sky's crack mechanics, Richard Lambert, washes bikes after the day's training. He and colleague Gary were busy testing tire pressure drop when VN.com dropped by. We'd like to thank them for their time during such a busy period in the season. Photo: Nick Legan

Team Sky is experimenting with sealant inside its FMB tubulars for Sunday. "If it helps the riders get to the end of a secteur, maybe it doesn't stop a puncture, but it does slow it down. If so, it's worth a shot," said Richard Lambert, one of Sky's mechanics. Photo: Nick Legan

Yep, that's two brake hoods, for extra comfort over the brutal cobbles of northern France. Photo: Nick Legan
