Aero bikes and fat tires. I miss the old days when the excitement was for the riders. BTW, is it my imagination or are the riders migrating towards a more comfortable, less aero-intensive posture on their bikes?
Very interesting Shoddy and thanks for sharing. I wonder if those teams who vary pressure between road and cobbles or change from 28 to 32 mm wide tyres have empiric measurements proving that they actually gain anything with it. My own experience shows not much difference between 28 and 32mm wide tyres (rough english country lanes).
17 cm stem? Geez, I remember Cannondales at the Coors Classic in the 1980's with crazy-length stems and screwball seatposts with aluminum bar stock welded on so the seat could be shoved back far enough to fit the poor guys (Team Crest?) who had to ride 'em. Some things never change?
Always enjoyed your videos Shoddy Dave. Nice to see your genuine love for road racing coming through in the E3 Shimano video. Keep up the good work 👍🚴♂️
I see mostly white, gray, and black frame colors, the Factor uses a grunge font style, while the Cannondale is in pink raw meat color, and the orange Derosa offers some aesthetic relief. The blue, orange, and red muddy blended Giant is plain weird. The S Works wants to enlist in the Russian SMO. These mostly End Time colors depress me.
That Aero DARE is absolutely magnificent! Reminds me of the RIBBLE Aero…
Great again Shoddy! Keep them coming mate 👍
Those Bingoal De Rosa bikes are absolutely stunning, thanks for the tour! Some great insights to boot
Factor Gravel is beautiful.
I liked how FACTOR indicated on the frame “No status Quo” that was great…

Couldn’t agree more! Did you see that Fizik saddle! that’s like a lounge chair! 😆
Insane stem lengths!
Was Jasper Phillipsen riding on a flat tire with an insert? He rode it for quite a long time and being able to do so might have been a big benefit

Not much difference is maybe enough for pros?

Great tour of latest bikes, got to say, those Factor Ostro bikes are absolutely filthy bike porn :)
Steve Bauer @9:08!
Luv it keep them coming Dave 👌👍😀
Looks like Uno X are riding a TT frame with that new head tube depth
The tech is far less interesting for P-R than it used to be........Aero bikes = yawn.
gosh that cervelo r5 is a nice ride
The Settanta is beautiful. Want one!
Nice work Shoddy 👍
How cool. thank you.
Nice one cheers mate.
Did I hear correctly? NO Campagnolo at Paris-Roubaix?!?
I was surprised at that especially at this event…
No Campagnolo at the World Tour at all in 2024. Only one Italian second division team is currently using Campagnolo.
