(Image credit: Peter Stuart)
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix Femmes i൩s certainly one of if not the most demanding races on the women's WorldTour calendar. The challenging cobbles sections take their toll on the body and bike and are a serious test for even the best equipment.
Cyclingnews was at the race and snapped a huge gallery of all the in🍷teresting tech and components choices used in the women's race. There are a mixture of tyre choices both tubular and tubeless, double-wrapped handle𒊎bar tape and the use of grip tape in key places like bottle cages, not to mention a rather special pair of pedals.
Grab a brew, take a seat, and scroll d🌞own to enjoy our tech tidbits from the women's race.

Tom joined the Cyclingnews team in late 2022 as a tech writer. Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage a🌠s he is out on the road bike, and he isn’t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when tesꦫting to really see what it’s made of.
He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport's biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Alberto Contador. He's also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.
