We came to Fuerteventura for the launch of the new Cervelo P5 and will post details about this very cool bike tonight at midnight Eastern standard time. Meanwhile though enjoy these impressions from the Playitas resort in Fuerteventura where we ran into quite a few Pro triathletes, including but not limited to Michael and Andreas Raelert, Dirk Bockel, Frederik Van Lierde, Caroline Steffen, Jonas Colting, Rasmus Henning and Javier Gomez, and noticed that this place is swarming with triathletes from all over Europe and athletes from various other sports.
