Vetplant Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 These bikes are already at the weight limit, so these kinds of changes must be for other reasons than just weight savings. Where you have the weight should not have a massive effect on how fast you can climb, GCN explained it in a recent video. More rotating mass means more gyroscopic effect keeping things stable, but makes it a bit more difficult to make the bike turn in. MotoGP bikes experience this to a much larger extent, but these guys must surely also look at those types of things to gain advantages in the descents.https://youtu.be/Yn70zsUzgQg Video explaining the various inertial forces at play in MotoGP. Some of this is probably also, at play within cycling, but to a lesser extent.

Vetplant Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 BORA all together at the front... Will they bring some heat again? Or just ensure the correct breakaway composition?

NC_lurker Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Quote of the day yesterday from stage winner Nans Peters: "I knew [ilnur] Zakarin was stronger than me up the climbs but I never gave up. I convinced myself to not crack. I had seen in the downhill of Port de Balès that he descended like a goat so I was confident to beat him in the finale of the stage." ..Ilnur "the goat" Zakarian ????
Gen Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Well its a fast start..the fight for the break is on.

NC_lurker Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Lol yeah shame I close my eyes everytime Zakarin goes downhill ..I sometimes wonder if he does as well [emoji23] Yeah, it's always been his downfall, I do wonder what his results would've been like if he'd managed to improve his descending.
