Ah ok, thanks. Is that new? Don't remember seeing it before

new in last week’s update

That's a great second kick you had to win the final sprint, 9/10 when you are caught like that the other person slingshots past but everyone was dying there you just had the most to give.

My legs are properly burning now, that was some workout

Yeah you can see the moment when I nearly threw in the towel in that final sprint can't you?!

The CTT Winter Series TT is tackling the Innsbruck UCI 2018 Short Course tonight, the series only takes your best results from a limited number of rounds so still possible to get full route quotas in even if this is your first route so far.

Trying to look at strategy a little...

The frame is neutralised, but I don't know what performance it has, I presume a reasonably racey equivalent to a road frame.

But I don't think the wheels are neutralised.

Not sure, but I think a road frame will give supertuck speed benefit descending the KOM over a soft pedalling with a TT frame.

But there's ~7Km of fairly flat after the descent, where usually a TT frame gets more aero benefit from TT disc wheels.

Once upon a time, I could climb Innsbruck KOM in just over 20mins, but if I do this it will be a painful ~35mins and then I still have ~12Km of the course left to finish.

Surely the climb being so long would mean that the benefit of aero/climbing wheels like the Enve Pro 65 would outweigh (haha) anything you might gain on the descent or flat from the disc?

Yeah, for some reason I was thinking start with climbing wheels and swapping to disc wheels was going to save ~15secs+, but I've now just seen the DT 65s are barely slower up the climb compared to Roval Alpinist and will only be ~10secs slower after the climb compared to the DT 85s and it takes ~15secs to do a change if all goes to plan...

New plan, don't do the TT stick to DT 65s for whole course!
