Yeah, same here, no sign of it :(
….but I did find an almighty speed wobble at 75kph! Sideways gusting winds on the open sections, bike was severely fish-tailing and I couldn’t stop it :/ Made plans to bail into the verge or get a foot down, but somehow made it out the other side. Everyone descending around same time had the same, but think mine was particularly bad due to big, flexy 853 steel frame. Never want to experience that again.
And yes, totally comes into its own in the mountains - didn’t take a gilet with me, just Burner, armwarmers & rainajcket (when needed) was perfect.
