Hmmm, interesting Legend, I may have to consider Mavic for my next set of commuter wheels - I think I'd trust a road tubeless system that was 100% from one (reputable) brand. But I digest.
Computer controlled shock does seem a bit OTT for a road bike when an on off button would do the job. And I still wonder why no suspension forks.
If you google Mavic UST you'll see all the usual sites doing articles on the new stuff. Here's one to start with though: http://road.cc/content/tech-news/224595-mavic-introduces-road-ust-tubeless-system-covering-huge-section-wheel-range
Did he use it on the mountain days with big long descents, but where people wouldn't see him?
Nah, he used the rim braked bike to make it lighter so he could get over the moutains. In the dry. 8)

And where the extra rim rub from sprinting wouldn't be an issue.
Fifeandy, getting slow enough in the switchbacks in the rain, i would be sore way before the bottom. With discs I can just brake much latter with so much more modulation. I feel this makes me both caster and safer.
I think the roads anywhere in the UK would benefit from suspension!
On the P-R thing although cobbles are what the race is famous for it 'only' has ~58 km of cobbles out of a total distance of 254 km (2015 race route). So any bike has to ride well on the tarmac, as it makes up over 3/4 of the race distance.
Why do pinarello continue to flog this horse?
Because Alan Sugar.
Not him specifically, but everything he is.
Old.
Rich.
Wants an expensive bike, and everyone (even non cyclists) to know it.
Can't hack a proper race bike anymore.
Wants what the pros have.
Just going to say that I don't really have any issues with Pinarello, in fact I appreciate some of their work
