Incorrect. And again, shows astonishing ignorance.
It is hard to believe that any one thinks its about the bike. Bartali on his first team bike in 1934, 49 up front, 16/18/20 in the back and serious contortions to shift, would drop you in your prime on any bike today like a bag of wet sand. Your humiliation would be epic. Kind of like now. But go ahead, keep on telling yourself it is about the bike. The world needs a good patsy.
