The only people who seem obsessed about type of braking seem to be MTBers or triathletes getting into road cycling. Most people I know who have followed road cycling for years generally couldn't care about it. I don't understand the obsession with it in some quarters.
However you will still have plenty of noobs who think it is rim brakes which wins races rather than the strong censored legs of the athlete.
And plenty of people who think it’s the legs that produce the bulk of the power, when it’s actually the glutes. The legs just transmit the power, the better they are, the less generated power is lost in translation.
Wearing a Richard Mille by the looks of it (the same hugely expensive, hugely ostentatious watch brand Cav has had a long association with and who sponsor Bahrain Mclaren).
Even though that's obviously an expensive bike the watch is probably getting on for 10x the price.

My only concern is that I don't want it to become like 26 inch wheels where it is now hard to buy them.

Although as people have pointed out the time on the watch is always the same and always wrong. So it's probably not a real watch (but he does have an association with RM)

Richard Mille - the watch you'd bin if it fell out of a Christmas cracker they're that tacky.

Interesting, hadn't spotted that. Just saw him wearing it at LBL - the tonneau shape is pretty distinctive. Makes sense that it wouldn't be a real one as it is a £100k+ watch, depending on the model.

Poor Ned Boulting (who I very much admire, to be clear) is finding out on twitter that not everyone thinks quite as highly of dear Julian as he does...

You can see why a commentator would like him.
Ned should embrace the good guy/bad guy narrative a bit more - get a bit more punch & judy going.

Does Ned think he did anything other than ruin the sprint?

At the other end of the spectrum, Wiggins really doesn't like him

I don't know how you can watch that last few km and not have anything negative to say about Alaphilippe. Really erratic. I know he is normally pretty hyperactive but not usually like that.
Seems like a turbo Voeckler, lots of showboating but Alaphilippe actually has the skills to back it up.

Hopefully next year he can spice up the TdF again, because this year he remained under the radar except for trying to win a few stage races.
Not sure the s works sl7 can be had in rim brake variety.
I am not sure. You have no chance.
