I'm 54 years old and I've been watching it since LeMond was in the peloton. Much longer than you I suspect.

I wasn't suggesting they should have a rim vs disc brake debate on television. I'm curious about the Magura calipers. There's no need to get snobbish.
I personally think the bikes and gear should get some coverage in the long boring sections of the race when they aren't really racing and there's no action.
