Specialized to launch new road racing saddle, revamped clincher

Spotted atop Stuart O'Grady's bike at the Saxo Bank team hotel in Kortrijk, Belgium was Specialized's upcoming Chicane road saddle. As compared to its current Toupe or Romin models, the Chicane is far more rounded from left to right and its sides extend down well past the rails. A carbon fiber insert in the shell softens up the mid-section, too.
