Maybe this at least will make Canyon produce a time trial bike in XS.

Coming from 15th at the beginning to win. Man, he just let those young ones blow themselves up and rode through. Remain calm at all times. I wonder if the "Vans" when looking back, and seeing that neon yellow and black coming up were thinking "damn, shit's about to get harder"

What's the status on disc bikes in UCI races? Are they okay to try the entire year? Certain races?

They can be tested during the entire season.

Funny how we haven't heard Tinkoff complaining about his performances for a while now, eh. :)

I haven't heard of Sagan making too many (any?) enemies within the peloton, which seems surprising given his stardom. (Have I missed it?)

Rumours say from January the WorldTour teams are able to use disc brakes in any race. 2017 it'll be ok for amateur races.

Funny thing is that Cookson said that it's important that we embrace new technology such as disc brakes. I guess that's why we have so many banned products that are more aerodynamic than what we are allowed to use, as well as the 6.8 kg weight limit.
