One glance at the profile was enough to make me wince.
So, riding it? (Oh, it would be lovely... with a pacing, not racing attitude.)
Racing it? At the speeds we'll see ridden in the Giro?! That's... nah, my mind boggles at the numbers these guys can generate.

Riding with new things: POC and Castelli. Much to say. To paraphrase: excellent!

A few bike changes didn't stop Filippo Ganna from taking his first victory in a one-day Classic. If you didn't see the race or haven't seen the highlights make sure you take a look.
Dwars Door Vlaanderen 2026, a Classic that became a battle between two of cycling's finest.

If you watch, I hope you enjoy.
