That whole thing seems strange to me. Although light, isn’t the rim design about ten years old? Would they not create more drag over a stage than the modern Shimano equivalent? I’d have thought the only scenario it would be a benefit would be to attack and get a gap on a summit finish, but that’s only going to have come after many KMs of up and down.

Secret Pro (on the daily CyclingTips email) is claiming that the reason for the Ineos-Lightweight deal is that the team are struggling to get the Pinarello F12's to the 6.8kg weight limit.
