Have they come to a standard thru axle or will we see a lot problems changing wheels with the neutral moto?

"The decision was taken by the relevant UCI commission in mid October. That commission decided on a standard of 160mm rotors, front and rear, and teams will follow these guidelines."

What do they mean "amateurs 2017"? What amateur races does the UCI cover? Our USAC region already allows disc brakes...

Most of the ones in europe. Why do you ask?

I would guess it's because the cash they get from Prologo is greater than that which Specialized would increase their pay for using their saddles.

They are missing out though, imo. Specialized make fantastic saddles.

I've been told by a fitter that works with the team that those are not stock Prologo saddles and actually 1 off customs/covered and padded Romins with the proper labeling applied

arent Prologo and Speci made by Velo? So probably not hard to get a custom conglomeration.

that prologo does have a marked kick up at the rear - suspiciously like a Romin.

I don't know, the nose looks exactly like a new Prologo, and all the other pics I've seen of his bike clearly show a Prologo saddle.

Which means they're doing a damn good job at covering it up. I have no idea why said fitter would lie about such a thing and has samples (won't let me take pictures of them) in his studio of really, really solid 1 offs.

The most interesting thing is the rider who uses custom carbon bars with 1 side 2cm narrower than the other.
