Just a road bike with fatbike stays, make a great fatbike gravel/tourer ;-)

Especially as the rear 'stays' do nothing* other than act as aero, so could easily modify for racks.


*they are only there as they have to be under the rules.

Obviously effective though as Matt Wall has just won the Omnium

Are you saying he's not good enough to win on a standard style bike?

Nah saying that he won "Despite" the bike

The bike is fugly and apparently not that fast - the medal count seems lower this time around?

More concerning are the e-bike dernys.... Just not the same, are they?

Slower, no. they're riding faster than before. I think we have one of the largest teams and tech people.
The other teams are just even better and seem to target races rather than cover all of them like we do.

We just blitzed it before and it's hard to do it again.
They're still fecking fast, faster than old records, riding PB's*. You're still limited to the people riding the bikes.


*you could say the bikes have helped this?
