You did see Rock Shox on G.L.'s bike but not at the TdF. The entire Z team
has used Rock Shox on their road bikes for the last two years at Paris-
Roubaix. This is because almost the entire race is on COBBLESTONES and 
the riders arms normally take a battering. The first years models were
quite different from the MTB shocks made by the same company as they were
custom built at horrific expense. Unfortunately nobody from Z came anywhere
the first year. This years model was apparently very similar to the MAG 30, 
quite a bit cheaper and LeMond's teammate Gilbert Duclos-Lassale (surname is
something like that but may not be entirely correct) won Paris-Roubaix on 
them.
