There was a ton of non sponsor stuff today. Some teams can get away with it quietly, others are really hampered by contracts (which is fine, if you're being sponsored then of course there is an obligation to ride what you're provided), some of the bigger players have get out clauses if they can prove their alternative is better than the sponsor provided stuff (going through that process is absolutely solid though and fraught with angst).
We're currently involved in all three of those categories - our partner team is Qhubeka Assos for aerobar accessories, but some of the riders are currently using their older ENVE extensions for example, until we finalise setups with all the riders and finish manufacturing our latest batch of extensions. Pozzovivo had an absolute blinder today, it's a pan flat course and he's half the size of everyone yet beat Bodnar, Oliveira, Foss, Bernal etc.
