Narrow tires are still faster. Wider tires are more comfortable to ride with lower pressure but are slower. For the general public who aren’t pro racers. Comfort is more important than marginally going faster.
I wonder if those guys also used the GP5000 S TR tires for Flanders? I was watching them have to walk up the wet climbs and thinking it is impossible to ride up that wet road on the GP5000 which have HORRIBLE wet grip.
in 2024 all the teams and all the cyclists change to 28, there is no cyclists that are not using the minimum of 28s. Even in smooth asphalt, even in high climbing, even in the High mountain stages of the giro you will see only 28mm tyres, even Tadej pogaçar climbing Horse cattegory climbing you will see with 28s because has been prooved that te 28 mm are even faster than 25mm.
@@VeloVeloVeloTV But is there any evidence for that 30mm is faster? I guess that the difference on good tarmac is tiny, and that 35 mm is much faster on cobblestone. Van Der Poel von the last classic on 30mm, but he is so technically virtous that he can go well on much different equipment. I guess that roadbikers are mentally attached to tiny tyres.
These are the videos I like to see, I am a fan of cycling, and I have my favourite riders, but I love looking at the bikes and technology. Awesome
Ah glad I’ve found you again Dave. Not sure where I lost you but hey a new sub here.
Shimano guys running 56 chainrings. Probably to keep up with the SRAM teams running the 54-10 on the downhills.
Nice vidéo thank's
thought Enve bikes were looking little blend but it's actually most eye catching on this video
I wasn't impressed from the images that Enve originally published but I really like them in real life (carbon) - Dave
Surprised to see the majority are still running 28c, would think more would be on 30-32c.
Especially since they're largely running 28s on perfect tarmac
I run 30mm front 32mm rear. Peloton is going that route. Haven't seen much bigger than 32mm.

@@iMadrid11 pros ride
28-32mm. Most common in the peloton is 30mm. So they do that for sales? Lol. Wider tires are faster.
On wide rims 28 becomes 30

Not used the standard 5000 in the wet, but I'm testing the 5000 AW at the mo and find them good in the rain. - Dave
25mm tires? As a rider, I would revolt.
I know, it feels like if all riders were on 25, they'd be on 19mm!! - Dave

I dont understand why they not use 35mm tyres
A balance between speed and comfort. 30mm seems the perfect spot. - Dave

@@erlendsteren9466 35 is heavier
lol that's not a timemachine and it's never been ridden by ag2r
They raced on BMC last year before switching to Van Rysel this year. But you are right I got my Times and Teams mixed up. - Dave
Lol. Last year ag2r raced the teammachine slr01, tudor is racing the teammachine r01. They're entirely different bikes buddy.
So LAME that they are keeping tyre pressure a secret, porki thinks he is Adrian Newey LOL
indeed, very lame, as tire pressure depends on the tire brand and rider+bike weight so very personal even without personal preferences.
Yeah; pro road cycling still living in the dark ages.......
Boss job Shoddy ! 👌🏻
This is nothing new
Why is that a problem for you?
Look with Corima wheels on clinchers FTW 🤗
