DSM and MVDP have used unreleased Shimano wheels but Wout's wheels are not them.

Nils Politt is not using the new DA, he's on the old, well, current 9170 group. You can see the wire here, it's just close above the hanger:bikeboy1tr wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 2:49 amOn todays stage they did a close up of Neils Pollitt's RD and I could not see a cable going into the backside of his DA. I would assume this is the testing of wireless DA or that cable is tucked in quite nicely. From what I have read so far the media reports say the RD and the FD could be communicating with a cable ala semi wireless. Time will tell.
Shimano will be releasing a whole bunch of new wheels with their 12v groupsets, tubular and clincher/tubeless in 3 different heights.XCProMD wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 3:55 pmNice (non-Shimano) wheels Van Aert rode to VentouxAlfus wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 11:03 amCervelo R5steel515 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 1:41 amWhich cervelo by van aert here? https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/to ... breakaway/ do they all ride sponsored clothing or their own choice (unlabeled)?
Their choice? in a ProTour Team? no way..
Not Shimano, Vision Metron 45 SL. You can see the quadrants with different fiber direction don't match the upcoming Shimano wheels. Furthermore, there are pictures of the Vision Metron hubs from the rest day. This picture is posted at the top of the page .

He has one in his back pocket, records his numbers for analysis after races but doesn't want to see it during races, maybe he doesn't even check later, might be just for his coach/team.
For people following a genuine training plan that last bit is still quite important though.Dan Gerous wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 4:45 pmEvery amateurs and their grandmothers these days think a powermeter is essential but many pros don't really car for it, even in training some just go by feel and record power for their coaches to analyse.
I didn't fully notice the lack of a computer at the time, but didn't he still have the course notes printed out and stuck to his stem?
