Gen Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 So after watching stage 1 highlights I have learnt this.. Specialized tyres suck.. every one on the recm team as well as (sauser and Rabon) had major issues (I am making a mental note).. Schurter is freaking strong.. man is just power. . pity Buys isn't at the same level yet. Max Knox is also very strong. . Bulls seem to have the most reliable gear..hope Huber feels better today. And Platt is just a machine. BrandonF_ and Firemeister 2
