Disc brakes are infinitely superior to rim brakes, which is why Bernal lost 2 mins on the final descent: discuss.
To be honest, they probably use them to get lardy Pinarellos down to weight....
2 minutes? How do you figure? Don’t think he lost much compared to most of the bunch, Bardet caught up a lot but he’s well known as a great descender.
And Bernie lost at least 10 seconds being epic by taking off his Gabba.
Nah, think he was just rightfully cautious on that descent. Couldn't win the Giro there but could 100% lose it. It was on the chasers to take mad risks to eek out seconds, not him.
Bernal had such a big gap he didn't want to throw it away with a reckless descent. Discussed.
