Bruni has sleeves with a ribbed texture similar to aero road jerseys in his post iirc these ribs are pretty body-dependant in how well they work (spacing of the ribs varies by cylinder diameter, cylinder in this application being arms/legs) so I wonder how much sense it makes on the dh jerseys. They are way tighter than the old days...
I think this is as close to a „for racing purposes only“ bike we’ll get from specialized. Who is the realistic target group for this? A few age groupers, the occasional dentist and maybe some kids sponsored by their rich parents. The ones who want it will buy it anyways, other than that I see it as an engineering exercise...

With Thibaut on your team, most people aren’t going to care about why you made the move to bike racing. A lot of people are going to assume the worst about you, your team and your sponsors. This topic comes up every time he’s mentioned. It’s no coincidence that this was the only real question for you about the team. Who’s the 24/7 chaperone for Zoe? What’s the plan for keeping her feeling safe? An unsettled racer is just going to get hurt out on the track.

Trying to write a less aggressive version of the question above, regarding allegations about Thibault: As far as I know, he has not been convicted of any wrongdoing, but the matter is not exactly settled. Assuming the team is not self-funded, the sponsors probably have more interest in this issue than the team manager. So even if the team manager is convinced Thibault has done nothing wrong, and will not do anything further in the future to damage the reputation of himself or the team or the sponsors who support him, there must have been discussion with sponsors on this...

How is the mood in the team regarding Daprelas allegations and departure from other teams in recent seasons? do you feel comfortable having younger female racers around someone with SA accusations?

He’s digging it up in a forest. Forestal bikes would be my closest guess.

I went down the rabbit hole of lube science (that sounds dirty for some reason) on zero friction cycling and some others and mucoff apparently has some of the worst ones out there. Been using c3 ceramic dry for a while now and it’s been fine if I’ve reapplied after every ride but I’m gonna deep clean my chain in...
