No disc brake bikes are currently in use at this year’s Tour Down Under. It’s expected they will appear when races land closer to team service courses in Europe.

So Sagan didn't ride that paraded disc whale. How fast are SRAM when it comes to releasing new components. Any chance of that Katusha direct mount brake this year?

The DM brake on the Katusha bikes is a Dura Ace one... No sign of a SRAM one.

FDJ Lapierre is the only one dressed with Dura-Ace 9100 out of 18 bikes?

Looks like it's just cranks (power meter) and brakes for now? Derailleurs and shifters look like 9070 to me.
