Yeah, I can see Sagan in there

Aero bikes are heavier than non aero bikes and aero benefit is marginal for all aero bikes relative to non aero race bikes or non aero race bikes wouldn't continue to win pro races.
Btw, I would be surprised if there were two other people on this forum other than myself who understood why aero bikes are heavier than non aero bikes for a given frame size.

Er, not sure why you are introducing the concept of accuracy.
My comment was in relation to the Canyon Aeroad CF SLX, an aero frame that, if the weight values above for the Venge Vias are more or less accurate, is lighter, and of course much cheaper.
Given the aero claims made for the Vias vs. the Venge, and the comparative performance of the Venge and Canyon in so far as it can be understood, it would not surprise me if the Vias comes out marginally more aero, but at a weight and cost penalty.
Where have I been inaccurate exactly?

Maybe its political?
Either way Sagan is the champion!

He attacks on a short cobbled hill with a 20% maximum gradient. Maybe he just thought that the Tarmac was the best bike for that strategy?
