I actually think the commercial is brilliant. From a marketing standpoint it is pure genius – but Specialized pretty much had the advertising served to them on a silver platter during the Tour de France with both Astana and Saxo Bank riding their bikes.

That aside, I think it was a great the way they played off of the competition between the two riders in a funny way.

I think we can all acknowledge that the chain dropping incident was not the result of Andy himself doing a poor tuneup, and thus it would not have been avoided had Andy attended a Mike’s Bike tuneup class.

This really was just an Andy Schleck fan, poking fun at an ad that poked fun at Andy Schleck.
