those were the top of the line shimanos (at the time) r320 , with the velcro and ratchet, circa 2013?[/quote]

Yes, Tom Dumoulin was still wearing those at last year TDF where he won stage 9. I saw him with the RC9 Sphyre
2 days before the start, but wasn't ready to change apparently !

RE Dan Martin move to UAE . Who is the GT leader at Quick Step now ?

Jungels I suppose. Only question is if he still going for Giro and they go with a sprinttrain to TDF or they give him a shot for the TDF.

QS has never been a GT team. They've tried and faked it, but that's never been their game.

Maybe the Boa craze will blow over. I still like velcro.

This-

And all of their last 3 shoes fit differently.
R320
R321
RC9

Very likely that the R320 fits her foot perfectly and she doesn't want to change.

That also appears to not be her bike- looks really big and tall saddle height.

AquaBlue will wear Catlike helmets from the Vuelta (they wore Giro helmets)

Phonak did the opposite in 2006, from Catlike to Giro helmets from the 2006 TDF

Given they sell both, it feels a bit more like an opportunity for them to create more brand awareness

Here's the hot take, Aqua Blue are a bigger partner. Clearly Giro cannot have been too concrete if they could simply switch out to Catlike.
