Interesting. BRR measured the same-ish rolling resistance for a given pressure, but the tire has also gotten ~1.5mm smaller, which means you'd have to run it at a slightly higher pressure. So the tire is probably slightly faster. Maybe like 1 watt.

Jarno also mentions that the casing is stiffer. afaik the old gp5k wasn't exactly known to be supple (relative to other race tires) so this might not be great news.
So not the slam dunk many thought it would be.

Yeah, I'll be interested to hear riding impressions.
