As all the tech reviews seem to indicate that all the shift system is incorporated in the silver part on the back of the brake / shift lever. then is would be any easy option for Rotor to produce. At this stage of development i guess enough interest might prompt them to review that as an option.

Yeah, I wish the cable pull brake was an option too. Maybe it'll be added.

Here's video of it working.

I'm sorry I want to like this, its great in theory, but I just can't see Rotor sticking around much longer if this will be their flagship offering.

Sure it's expensive, but they do sell a lot of cranks. I don't think having a groupset is going to take them under.
Famous last words?
it's actually possible to come to the conclusion even before realising it makes no sense at all

Found some interesting info on Velonews. Kinda surprised I missed this. They claim it will be approx 350g lighter than Di2 and priced close to Di2.

Dimension Data are using Rotor Uno groupset this season are they not? I know they've been testing it over winter anyway and seen it mentioned in a couple of articles they are anyway?

Current situation of the Di-Data rider at the Aussie nat's:

Maybe. I know Matt Brammeira was testing it, but disc version? I'm guessing Rotor using Dimension Data riders for final tresting perhaps? Not sure you would give it to a pro rider if it wasn't nearly nearly ready for production perhaps?

Just did a search on twitter and some photos of I assume Matt Brammeiers bike again. All with disc version though, so I guess unlikely to race on it?

Holy cow, the rear derailleur is huge! Need to see better pics. I'd be nice if they released some a video showing it in use during a ride.

That rear derailleur and those giant hudz for disc brakes are so ugly..

One thing is for sure: this is going to be the ugliest groupset money can buy. By a long stretch.
