Why is Pogs using deep aero wheels on pure mountain stages? Stages where he flat dominates everyone? Stages where he is displaying his early season form for the cycling world to worry about? On mountains where he is blowing all the ascent records to pieces… on an aero bike with aero wheels…
Haven't you figured it out yet? The riders are all being forced to use sub-optimal gear by their teams, because of the demands of their sponsors. The teams don't care at all about riders being fast. Any team smart enough to follow Dave's advice will simply destroy everyone else because of the obvious superiority of 30-year-old wheel and tire configurations...and rim brakes.
Dave doesn't answer direct questions, or involve himself in discussions. He pontificates.
