  • Sounds like Quintana is just aiming that comment squarely at Froome. Sometimes Froome isn't the most exciting to watch, especially his measured climbing, but he is dominant and ruthless. Which is exciting in itself. You'll hear the same arguments again in different form if United win the league under Mourinho.

    Speaking of luddites, I was looking at some pro bikes features last night out of curiosity, and saw Cancellara, Contador and Nibali are all still using mechanical groupsets. As someone who has never used electronic shifting, why would you not?

  • I heard a couple of seasons ago that Voigt was the only remaining rider on a mechanical group, or I could have got that wrong and he was the only rider left on 10-speed.

  • Cav resisted for a long time too (I guess 53x11 is the same, whatever number of sprockets you have).

    Also, Cancellara won't ride leccy groups on the pavé (or at least he wouldn't a year or two ago when I was still engaged in cycling tech trend stuff).
