oh, to answer the wreck part, when I helped a bit with JB put on their roof rack and peppered them with questions it seemed that riders got 1 training bike, 1 race bike, 1 tt bike. I think you got a replacement if you wrecked a bike. When I helped them the training bike got lower components than the race bike.
