  • 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.
