  • Here she is in the bronze final in the 2011 World cup sprint final with that wheel. http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/51855000/jpg/_51855701_pendleton_ap.jpg

    And yet she already had access to the Io and was using it in the 2010 Worlds in match sprints:

    But the spoked front wheel is clearly part of a pair of training wheels

    So it seems that the Io only comes out for championships, not less important World Cups. Since she also gets Mavic Cometes in place of her usual Araya discs at major events, this looks like a Mavic selective equipment sponsorship issue. Perhaps the kleptocrat Alexander Lukashenko should dip into his pockets, well stuffed from dodgy arms sales, and buy the poor girl a few sets of decent wheels.
