Because he wants an unbiased feedback. Anywho, all this talk about kinematics is all well and good, but the first thing I though when I saw the bikes was "even if it works, who...

These guys just pulled juniors from YouTube. Possibly because it was out performing or getting very similar numbers to elites and some exec at wbd doesn’t like to share.
