The 111sth edition of Tour de France ended at Nice yesterday with Tadej Pogacar winning the latest stage 21 as the first with a minute advantage over his rival. Because of this manufacturer pour in big marketing budget in this event: sponsorship, uniforms, equipment etc. Because the whole world will see. Hence the dominance of Colnago in frameset, Shimano in group set, Specialized, etc.
The tour does not end there but iits influence will be felt in the days to come:
1. Shorter crank at 165 vs the 170 ++ being currently used now;
2. The seated climbs
3. Larger chain rungs, 54 up to 60.
4. 1 by chain rings
Pogi made climbing the mountain stages look very easy, as if just biking on flat.
Many of us will ape Pogi and how the others GC contenders.
All ready I can see improvements in my biking by using bigger chain ring.
How about you, what will you copy/benchmark from the Tour de France
