The fun thing is that they have different road bikes for going uphill a lot and going fast in the flats. OR the cause for shortest chainstays possible (boost in drag) but therefore a super nervous bike (That's for the long flats) bit longer bike with less "aero-attitude" for the mountain stuff where drag becomes less important, but some downhill/uphill stability needs to be added (with huge climbs crazy fast descents will be added) and so on.
The progression in roadbikes though is happening in infinitesimal small steps. Oh man.. and they fight about the height of the rims, every little mm of chainstay and if any other colored socks than white can be allowed.
