What grand tours has Rabubi actually ridden, he's more of a super domestique than a well known rider. Which of course gets me to the next question...When is Jens coming to do the EPIC?

5 Giro's, 2 Vuelta's

 

3 national time trial titles

2nd Critérium International (behind Jens in 2009)

 

 

5th in World Fun Ride Champs

It's those light weight components and tires they have been using.

 

It's a balancing act - weight vs robustness. You make your decision and take your chance.

 

These guys are so fit and strong I wonder how much saving a few grams will actually make?

 

Are all the punctures related to running low tyre pressures? If so, there's another balancing act - traction vs not getting a puncture. Puncture wise, the first stage seemed to catch a lot of them by surprise. And most of the issues were sidewall cuts? Would that be the equivalent of a snake bite?
