Landa just has this suffer-face at all time, it is not clear if it's his natural face or is he really hurting inside...

Is that the children's game where the person whose hand is at the bottom then puts it on top and then the next person's hand at the bottom gets put on top, and so on? Sound team tactics. :)

The sis infomercial in the middle is annoying.
Sounds like top bloke with an ace partner.

I like he takes a long time off after the seasons and just buggers off, sensible!

In other news, Sram was all over the presentation of new 3T Strada for Aqua Blue Sport, but what is that crankset?..

THM I think.

That cassette is a horror show. Custom made 9-32 ratios.

That bike is a horror show

Fair point.

How's that going to fare on something like the Alto de los Machucos? I think most teams rode 34/32 on that last year.

11-42 cassette? Smaller chainring?

Don’t know, seems okay for some races but can’t see how it’ll work on extreme mountain stages.

I really don't get what is supposed to be wrong with a front derailleur (for road racing)

It's a marketing gimmick, Aqua Blue were struggling for a big cash sponsor. There was talk about some kind of 'new' approach to team / sponsor, I assumed it just meant the sponsor would pay more but have more control.

Ah, so they will ride with fd's you think? The trick worked anyhow, I saw it at a few Dutch and Belgian sites and social media channels

No, the frames can't even take front derailleurs. The marketing gimmick is them riding those frames at all.

Bike change at the top and bottom of every climb.

Maybe some riders struggle with gear changes when presented with all those options... eh @andyp ;)

So aero!

So chain drop
Much team car

More of this plz

is that Quintana in the green helmet?

Ummmmmmh

I like how he didn't have to wear the rose-pink lipstick, but his professionalism won through.

Also Landa reminds me of

First pro kit since the pre-green Lampre kit I want to have.

I much prefer their orange training kit

Big fan of the EF Educayyyshun kit.

That Aqua Blue bike is going to fuck their riders right off. Grinding, spinning, grinding, spinning - all year long.
