168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mads Pedersen (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trek-Segafredo) lined up in Gent, Belgium for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Omloop Het Nieuwsblad equipped with a 1X drivetrain setup.

The Danish rider - who finished se♔cond at last year's Tour of Flanders - started the first cobbled Classic of 2019 aboard a Trek Madone Disc. The bike was running the 168澳洲5最新开奖♛结果:new SRAM RED 𓆉eTap AXS 12-speed groupset, with Pedersen opting to race without a front dera💙illeur and a single 48-tooth chainri☂ng.

Pedersen's Trek-Segafredo teammates𓆏, Katusha-Alpecin, CCC-Liv and Canyon-SRAM were all using the new 12-speed groupset from SRAM, however, on the start line it appeared that just Pedersen was running the 1X setup.

The extra cog oꦓn the rear cassette from the 12-speed groupset all෴ows for a similar gear range as traditional double chainring combination of 53/11 using just a single chainring and with less extreme jumps than previous 1X drivetrains.

Pedersen told Cyclingnews on the start line in Gent that he had combined a 10-33 cassette with a 48-tooth chainring f💎or the race. The gear range ratios are similar to a 53x11 and 39x27 double setup, albeit with the 12-gear steps slightly further apart.

The short and sharp hellingen climbs around Flanders suit powerful riders, however, and꧅ with the longest climb of this year's Omloop Het Niuewsblad only 1,268 metres long, it is unlikely Pedersen will really notice the missing gears ♊during the race.

The now-defunct Professional Continental squad Aqua Blue Sport were the first modern professional cycling team to commit to 1X drivetrains during last season. The implementation of the technology did not run smoothly though, with mechanicals 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:ꦡoccasionally ending race opportunities for the team.
