What's with the handlebars?

Probably wanted to scare the sprinters in the finale.

Yeah okay, maybe a hint of lense distortion.

If the lens is a true rectilinear formula (which it's not), then that
would be, not distortion, but exaggerated perspective. Still an ugly
bike though. The man is all about marketing now.

By marketing you mean fund raising.

Not entirely. The fund raising is a beneficial effect of the
marketing, but a subset. More is being marketed than the fight against
cancer. I sometimes wonder if there are parallels with Coppi. How the
oh so Catholic fans rationalized his behavior with their upbringing
and their adulation of him. People are complex, some more than others.
But LA? He's a doozy.
