No breakaways going for tarmac pros plus DTs
It is nice that it isn't automatically Tron this week (altho it will likely still be the choice of most)

The problem with bike choice on this course is you'll only gain a handful of seconds at best from the most lightweight bike on these climbs - but equally you'll gain little or nothing from the most aero bike on the descents (especially in in a small group as drafting comes into affect).
If I had to choose I'd go for lightweight over aero, but I'll probably go for Tron

I might give this a go if things fall into place during the day . Might have the Giro on GCN on the side as they ascend the Zoncolon for inspiration.If anyone's still tempted to do a recon ride on this course, there's a Team RWB race on it tomorrow at 16:30. I'm kind of tempted to do it again but with a lightweight climbing bike and wheels this time to see if it makes much difference on the descents. My experience yesterday - when I rode the Tron - was I mostly just super-tucked in a small group on the descents and no one really got away or got dropped. So while I get that the Tron is in theory quicker on the flat/descent I'm now not sure it will actually be any real disadvantage being on a climbing bike on these types of descents....tricky one to decide 🤔
Having said that - probably won't really make any difference to my race either way so I should probably stop going on about it

I think so too. Although if you think you’re on a lighter bike it might give you a bit of placebo effect too which can’t hurt.
But overall I just like the tron. I like the lack of head bobbing as much as anything.
Had my second one about a month ago .... was zonked out for about 2 hours in the same afternoon ... still raced in the evening (league TTT where Zwift sent me a different direction), but apart from the tiredness I had no other reactions. That was AZ. In fact, I felt really strong on the bike taht evening, so if anything we should be expecting a boost in performance on the day of a second jabFor those awaiting their second vaccine, I had mine the day before that ride - next to no adverse reaction this time.
@<Tommy> you might want to make a note of this for future excuse policing

You must be speaking of the PC version?

Ah that's disappointing, but I'm glad now I got the old version at the tail end of last year rather than wait.

I like the look of that. I’d really prefer I time based set up than the points one. But I think I’ll enter for sure.
