Don’t get me wrong, I fully appreciate the skills of the pro peloton and I watch all the big one day races and Grand Tours in detail. It’s just that I don’t think their bike handling skills are as insanely high or as critically important as they are in say Enduro and DH mtb. Tom Pidcock demonstrated a whole next level of descending skills on his Alpe d’Huez stage win last year.
