As for drawbacks, the failure to bring a dish Compact (50x34), but a 53x39 (and 12x25 in the gears) will make in miss some time that development shorter if I "drop" some legs in any of these increases, such as the Col de Vence, with its 21 kms long. Moreover, the geometry of a time trial bike also fits perfectly into such mountains as a map and I notice this mostly downhill rather than up, as the control in the corners is much more complicated to handle aircraft and the position taken by the body on the bike.
could say here are the "cons", leaving the balance much more biased in favor of the "pros."
two years ago, when I participated for the first time in Nice, took The map, which until now was the only road bike I had. Despite being an "iron" (Orbea Marmolada) and about 11 kgs weight with fittings and drums, I completed, I believe, a good cycle route (5h34 ') without being at the same level I have now, with many more miles and experience. Given that body weight will arrive more or less the same (about 65 kg), but take the Orbea Ora, which weighs 2 kg less than the road, I have hopes of making a time something better, or at least similar but more relaxed coming to the end of 180 kms. Going with the time trial did not notice that criminalize and me I used to train her on outings with different slopes, so I do not think I will be so short 53x39 as a priori it might seem. Certainly, the time to be docked in Nice do not think more than 30-40% of the test, but anyway I feel so comfortable riding holding on to the ends of the handlebar clock. Also, remember that two years ago the last 15 kms of the route (from the mountains to the sea) were flat and against the wind (almost all editions marks the same pattern) and I missed a good aero position, which I offered the route in spite of having long links. Solve problem that I hope this year with the goat. Currently
plays keep adding miles and getting ready for the next test, the Barcelona Half Challenge.
