Murcia - Almeria - Jaen (February 10th, 11th & 12th)

I wasn't watching that closely, but who had the tool to unscrew the thru axle?

I was wondering the same thing, I'm assuming it was a spectator and that's part of why it took so long to change the wheel. I guess it's time for the doms to start carrying around a multi tool

thanks! So the rear axles have a handle attached. Almost looks like Wout has never used one before...

So by my eye, 5-10 seconds faster if Wout knew how to use his own equipment, and 30 seconds faster on rim brakes. Not to mention they're at the back of the field. I doubt Wout was at the back when he first noticed the flat. So why did he drift to the back and then dismount and start changing his wheel?

Return of the rabofail...?

They really need to run some drills on this stuff before the tour. Do they seriously never practice wheel changes?
