Pro bikes - Tom Boonen's Green Tarmac

Tom Boonen's 'Green' Tarmac SL2

We recently featured Tom Boonen's custom carbon-fibre Specialized Tarmac SL prior to the Tour de France start in London.

With the mountains behind him, Tom sits atop the Green Jersey competition and to mark this achievement Specialized had given him a green Tarmac to use. Tom should now be able to ride into Paris with many feeling green with envy, especially arch rival Robbie McEwen, who lost so much time after struggling with injuries, that he was eliminated from the race.
