The hot and dusty day massacre left one winner and many losers on Cobbler for the 2022 Tour de France in the GC war. But as we mentioned in our Rubyx level technology preview, mechanics often have rough edges on the tree before they visit Fable Paven.
As predicted, however, many mechanics a a little bit Easier day than previous Department du Nord visits. While ‘daily’ group bikes are more versatile, the occasional trip in northern France requires a few adjustments. In addition, today a relatively short 19-kilometer stretch – compared to the 50-kilometer Paris-Rubyx – is set to have a much more exciting technology day on the cards.
With tire changes and the strange double-bar bar tape, for most drivers, it was a matter of ‘being’ on the tech front. However, in the beginning village we saw some interesting technology choices. Here are some highlights.
Tire selection and tire pressure are important when racing on the floor. The team was lowering the pressure of the B&B Hotels mechanic to 3.3 bar (~ 48 PSI).Continental GP 5000 S TR 30mm tubeless tires were popular throughout Pelleton today, even with non-Continental sponsors, as seen in this dark logo. Movista is a continental-backed team that has opted to compete in the 28mm ProLtd tubulars. Movista saved the GPU-free GP 5000 for spare parts on the roof.Each specialized team rolled on these 32mm SS-wheels. These tires are from Peter Sagan’s bike, and are rated at 5 bar / 72 PSI.The new tire has a thin central tread and this looks like an eclipse on the sides. 700 × 32mm – This is a good width to roll on the floor. Most riders and teams have opted for 30mm tires, however, under Paddock because of its special popularity under the control of the Victorian course.
This front wheel is from Matthias van der Poel Canyon Arod, but Jumbo-Visma and other teams are rolling on the same wheel – the exciting selection team is based solely on the tubulars for Paris-Rubyx.
Still, some drivers and teams are stuck in the tested and tested pipeline. Mades Pederson was one of two drivers in the Trac-Segaregredo riding with Pirely tubes. Meanwhile, all the Lotto-Soda team bikes are loaded with flat tires. Other drivers on the Trek-Segafredo have opted for the 30mm Pireli P-Zero racing TLR tires. Kofidis chose these extra-large tubes from Michelin. The tires are about 32mm wide, but the tire size marks only 23 on the hot plate. These are definitely not 23mm tires – maybe this is a mistake. While most teams have stuck to the same framework they have used for the four stages so far, Movistar Enrique Mas (and a few others) have not only switched to Aerod, but have opted for last year’s pick on the outside cable line. -cockpit-fix bikes. Although it was not a double tape, I had to take a picture of this tape up to the trunk of another group Movista Canyon Herod. The shutters are very rough and the empty carbon finish can be very heavy on the hands – so it makes sense that mechanics drivers often want to provide some flooring and handles where they can hold the bars on the long floor. Peter Sagan and his team Total Energy have also completely changed their bikes, as the team is running on the S-Works Roubaix and the Tarmac SL7s are having an extra day off.
Sagan, as he often does, chose mechanical duara-es teams to withstand the rough surface.
It still looks like a new day, but this is really a lost team. These, people, are external cables that hold metal mechanical shift cables. Technically speaking, the DSM had a complete bike exchange from the new foil to the addictive frame. I say ‘technically speaking’ because the team used the addict for every match until the new foil cover was broken last week, which is very different from Roubaix. MVDP now owns the MVDP Selle Italia Fly. Van der Paul’s Diet for Level Five. Canyon added these seat covers to ease the seating packages faced by Herod’s drivers. Team Arkea Samsic was also working on these new headphones, which the team mechanic said would provide “extra strength” on rough coils. Surprisingly, they were nothing for the Alpsin-Dessionunk team.There are no engines here, but note the Elite Coussi handles for improved bottle storage. We expected Trek to release the new Domane RSL, but the team unanimously chose to stay with the new Madonna.The dome appears on the roof of a support vehicle.The domains appear to be full Roubaix spec with 1 x chain and chain instructions… ዶ Madonna team running on 2 x and front line translator. Make sure that the rubber band on the top of the mouse does not leak unexpectedly on the cobblestones. Van Barley won the Rubyx double-double bar tape and chose not to change the winning formula. Unfortunately for Van Barley, the forum was not successful today. Almost every team in the UAE had axles mounted on the front and back. This gives drivers the option to pick up the wheelbarrow before the team arrives, or before taking a team spare part of the course. Bora-Hansgrohe drivers choose Tarmac SL7 mix…And S-Works Roubaix frames. However, perhaps the most interesting thing was the bargain bars bargain. From Roval Rapids…… To Pro Vibe Carbon Aero Bars…… Go to Pro Vibe alloy classic round bars. Many of the team BikeExchange-Jayco drivers have switched from the new Giant Propel to the TCR Advanced SL. Regardless of the frame, all BEX drivers have chosen 30mm tires, and while cleaning is a little too close to Propel, cleaning can never be a problem on a dry day. Primož Roglič competed with Cervello Caledonia 5 in the Dura-Ace C 50 wheels and once again in the Vitoria 30mm course-control tireless tires.Sepp Cous, meanwhile, acquired Cervello’s low-profile Servelo Caledonia (No. 5) model. Still, today it is arguably the most beautiful bike in Paddock. Interestingly, we saw stage winner Simon Clark choose to compete with only one bottle holder. Clark explained that he had only run on one bottle for a few years after he had to switch to disc brakes. He explained that the weight of the disc brakes and the bottleneck on the bike would reduce some of the excess gram. Check out the upcoming Ner Warning Podcast for a full explanation of Clark.
