I am curious about this, really.
Watching Wiggins do the Hour yesterday, on his brand-new Pinarello bike and then going back more than 20 years, watching Tony Rominger's bike, for the same show. I wonder, how could Rominger have been so much faster on that bike, when they look almost identical, almost in terms of position on the bike.
It's only really a question of the rider, it's more a question of how much faster we go on the bikes of today than we did 10, 15 or 20 years ago. I mean, they wen't pretty fast back then too.
Equipment seems to get a lot of traction in terms of improvments in the peloton but I am curious to know how much that really is.
Don't know if the forum is wrong.
