I always felt this interview said more about Sagan and his own motivations than anything I ever saw before or after. That he (at the height of his success) found being a pro this hard spoke volumes.eloy said:Interesting about Sagan is that he was relatively honest and open about his motivation not being the same as when he was younger.

I don't think he'd bring Specialized, nor a sunglass sponsor.Mark Taylor said:Alaphilipe is no way bringing specialized , 100% money with him ,
FWIW , I always thought Sagan was a dick
the podium incident did it for me

That's an angle I hadn't considered. No pun intendedmugwump said:What I don't understand is how such a helmet will be safe in a crash.
If it's a fairing, it would seem against the rules, and the thing tearing loose in a crash strikes me as dangerous. Then again, if the shape is structural, that, too strikes me as dangerous in a crash--I wouldn't want the leading point of the helmet acting as a lever in any way.
Agreed. I don't understand how this standard was promulgated. I would think that major tire companies would still be worried about lawsuits at this margin. And with Continental, Michielin, Pirelli Goodyear, Kenda, others, already making way more car tires, they would all be interested in a stringent standard that would not only protect them from liability but might force out some of the smaller bike tire producers. Because they'd all be able to easily design for and test whatever standard is decided upon.Jules said:110% is an absurdly low margin of error.
As others on this list have attested, Continental GP5000 tires are often tough to mount.BlakeFoster said:I don’t like that the Cycling News article says Zipp is actively deferring responsibility and accountability for tire fit to the tire manufacturer. It means I/the consumer have to sort through tire company websites and hopefully find clear guidance if their tires will work with my wheels. A bad experience all around.
