If the new Colnago is more aero than the V4Rs, even if it were a couple of hundred grams heavier this would be an advantage for Pogačar because he mainly wins races by attacking and riding solo, whether that's a Classic or a Grand Tour stage. Once he's got the gap he ain't coming back, and saving 20W at 50kph just makes that more inevitable.
Re: your "sound issues" in your new studio. If you want to reduce the room acoustic you need to use sound deadening on at least one of the SIX surfaces of the "cube" (that's four walls, the ceiling and the floor). Start by sticking acoustic tiles to the whole ceiling. If that's not enough, put some on the "4th wall" (that's Film/Television-speak for the wall behind the camera). This will improve things immeasurably while allowing you to have nice things hanging on the walls in-vision. I used to be a boom-op on a big national Soap, I know what I'm talking about (I was a 1st Cat too, and that means a lot more to me 🤩). Loving your work by the way, daahlings x.
26:50 Hi Guys, thanks for the supernice! The picture is made 25km south of Munich in direction to the alpes! @Ollie: Impressive, you were really close!!!! The Spokes are normal, I think I over did it with the sliders on the iPhone🙈
I feel like you're underestimating new bikes. At the start of October I upgraded from a Cannondale CAAD12 ultegra, aluminum wheels, rim brake to a Specialized SL8 Pro. I rode that previous bike for 8 years. From the first ride I did on the SL8 I couldn't believe the difference. It was nearly a different sport to me. I made all the upgrades at the same time: deep carbon wheels, carbon frame, carbon finish kit, electronic shifting, wider tires, tubeless wheels, disc brakes. I basically jumped forward 20 years in tech minus a couple of things. I'd argue my ultegra 11 speed well maintained mechanical shifting was better. What impresses me is how less tired and sore I feel after a long ride. How the bike communicates to me to ride a bit faster at speed. A mid tier aluminum bike would leave any pro grand tour rider feeling more physically exhausted, compared to the level of comfort on offer in modern road bikes. Being less tired makes the rider faster, not just the aero, drivetrain efficiency, and rolling resistance. To be fair to my CAAD12 I think it is a great bike. I still use it. I was shocked by the difference between the two bikes. I'll give some credit to specialized but I think it is mostly due to all the advancements in the last 20 years.
@@凸Bebo凸 I have steel, titanium and old carbon bike (fiber count t700). The most comfortable is my 20-year-old carbon bike followed by steel (chromoly) and titanium. I believe that newer carbon bike with more threads (t1000) would be stiffer, faster but not more comfortable than the old carbon which more flexy, heavier. You can make carbon bike in any shape and degree of stiffness while steel is limited.
I'm surprised you find the electronic shifting lacking. I use mechanical, because I choose too, but always heard people raving about electronic being so much better. Is it maybe you just need to get used to it or is electronic not so great?
12:39 You've taken the % he wins by as his absolute potential. He takes 6 minutes because its a comfortable margin to take into account a bad day or a mechanical. He usually waits until near the end of a stage to add extra time over a shortish effort to dominate and psychologically damage his opponents. He doesn't stop at 6 minute lead because that's all he's got. You can't compare power figures, winning margins and wattage losses independently of race tactics, season long workloads, team-mates and hundreds of other factors.
It's not bad, maybe a slight bit roomy only. Just bring the mics in closer so the direct sound ratio is ultegra vs 105 stronger. A wee bit but maybe expensive. You could add a compressor in line to take off some tops if someone starts raising their voice over some wahoo disagreement.
An alternative question should be; could Pog win a grand tour on any other GT team’s bike? That answer is “yes”, in my opinion. No, not on just any bike, as Dr Bridgewood commented, the performance gain from GT-level bikes is substantial.
You can also combine components. A 105 with a Dura-Ace chain and bottom bracket as well as an Ultegra cassette and ball bearing pulleys has no higher friction than a Dura-Ace. Actually, it makes little sense to install a 105 chain if the old one is worn out.
I see that new Colnago and I'm thinking maybe I should swim and jog, too! Kidding. I like its looks, somewhat surprised the UCI is allowing it and letting it ride.
Not on any bike, but on any steel or aluminium road bike with claris system. The most important crucial aspect of a bike are already on bikes starting form ~ 1K €. Carbon wheels aren’t needed at all.
You are kidding yourself if you think he's winning with a steel bike on alu wheels and a an 8 speed claris. A frame that would not even be in the same realm aero wise, far lower gear selection and no weight advantage? Come on now.
@@tongotongo3143 nah mate, i've ridden both, they don't compare. While you can get 95% of a 15k bike for 1.5k, that 5% is too big in a pro race. For you and me a 90s steel frame is more than we will ever need, but a pro is not beating other pros on a 19lbs steel bike with regular wheels and a more limited groupset.
I have beaten other pro racers on older aluminium bike while most already rode newer carbon bikes. Another proof that I am right is this year’s Siberian grand fondo road race where the winner was on quite old aluminium race bike with rim brakes, while most other athletes were on the most recent Pinarello, S-Works etc. actually even the blogger who covered that race at the end showed that winner’s bike.
@@tongotongo3143 were any of those pros Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar riding on a newest bike vs a steel frame with claris on the TDF stage? The question isn't what random pro would beat some other random pros in an extreme ultra race, it's would pogacar beat the very best in the world on the worlds biggest stage on as you said it yourself, a steel bike equipped with claris. Not to mention you citing the Siberian grand fondo, which doesn't exist, you might have meant the Serbian one? Which is for amateur riders and was won by a 50 year old from my hometown due to how low the competition level is.
I believe Pogi can win even on a sligtly lesser bike, but only if he continues training on his usual one. The better bike is essential for maintaining his training intensity. Without it, his fitness level might not be the same.
Audio still sounds tiny, you could do with sound deadening panels in ceiling or simply some fabric on one or two walls, out of shot. Other than that a super nice from both of you.
Nice tech show Ollie and Adam, the location where the picture of Paris was taken is not the sacré coeur. It is the point of view of le rond de la balustrade de Saint-cloud. Its is out side of Paris on the east side.
Hello Tech Team. Speculation about how a racer will do on whatever bicycle? It this truly worthy of your mental energy and consuming time on this show? I love it when you bring out topics that are based upon facts and not variables that will never be introduced into the pro pelaton. Suggestion, discuss the different bikes that Pogacar has ridden in the past. Those are facts worthy of this discussion.
Not the Sacré-Cœur, but the Domaine de Saint-Cloud. I assure you the bike didn’t suffer a single scratch, though I’ll make sure to bring a shadow stand next time!
They did say it was 20 watts for the bike only at 50kph so I’d be curious what the results will be with a rider. Plus was it compared to a V4RS with the same wheels?
what are your thoughts on Col de la Loze for next year's TDF . I think it will lead to a major breakaway shortly after the ski hire shop and restaurant car park around 850m up (after the short mid way descent) as the gradient almost doubles and the wide open road landscape could be a wind nightmare
Was Cuthbert desperate to finish the show to go to the toilet or something?! Ollie was on a roll and highly entertaining but Cuthbert wanted to finish ASAP
I thought I remembered seeing a rule in the UCI Rule Book saying that the seat tube has to be in line with the bottom bracket. Wouldn’t that make the new Colnago illegal?
Ok, I’ll address the elephant in the room. What’s happened with Alex’s vintage Pinarello? I mean, it looks great up there on the wall! Perhaps a bit of foreshadowing to a GCNV (vintage) channel? I throughly enjoyed Ollie’s vintage Bottecchia video, so I hope we do see more! Keep it up fellas!
I think he might be able to do it even on my bike :) here are some specs below... what do you think #GCN Frame set: Specialized Allez Sprint 56cm 2018 Rim Break Shifters: Shimano Ultegra 6800 FD: Shimano Ultegra 6800 RD: Shimano Ultegra 6800 Crankset: Specialized S-Works 50/34 170mm Cassette: Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-28T Handlebars: Zipp Aero SL70 Aero Carbon 42cm Stem: S-Works Sl 120mm 13 RI Titanium Bolts Seat post: Specialized carbon aero Saddle: Specialized Power 143mm Wheelset: HED Jet Six Plus with Conventional GP500 S TR 28mm & Pirelli P Zero SmarTube EVO TPU Weight: 17.1 lb 7.7 kg
How much faster would that new Colnago be with integrated rim brakes ? How much cleaner with straight spokes on the front and no pie plates spinning up a tornado hanging off heavy hubs ? Asking for a fiend.
Seeing as drivetrain parts eventually need replacing, couldn’t someone just fit new Di2 groupset parts to replacement the old ones, and keep their ‘life-long’ bike, just like anyone with a mechanical drivetrain
It seems the flaw in looking at Tadej's margin over Jonas is Jonas had a very aero bike and Tadej didn't and still won. Not sure that he could win on aluminum, but I'm not sure the bike he was riding was that much less aero than an aluminum bike.
Pogacars colonago v4rs was already the slowest bike in the peloton & he’s been smashing everyone, so yes pogacar could win races on a 105 equipped mid ranged framed bike. Quite easily.
Question to ask is how far back would you have to take it before the winning Tour de France bike of those editions now would not be a winning bike today for the Pog. Those Postal Treks were lighter than what is being used now I think.
@@simonandrew6875 Yes. That is the entire concept of that configuration. It leaves the frame at a 65 degree angle and also transfers some of the vertical forces into the top tube that has been engineered to flex slightly.
That blue bike looks like what I'd call a "fake" GIOS. At least not a made-in-Italy one. I have a few - the decal reads GIOS-TORINO. Alex might want to look up the history of the Brooklyn team with Roger De Vlaeminck in his spare time.
I fear that if Alex has never heard of Gios he is probably not the person who should be allowed to determine if the new Colnago is nice or supernice. Sorry! We need Jon Cannings to provide a lesson.
Y’all have definitely established with all your “testing”..The ONLY people that would gain or lose benefits from the advancements of the top tier bikes are the pros. Absolutely no one else is going to win or lose for having a modern “affordable” bike. The rider and their own aerodynamics is the only factor that “wins” all these “races” to the coffee shop that all us are competing in
Is that press release language basically saying Shimano will be releasing a new “Pogi backed” groupset to compete with the new Red that was released last year? 🤔
How did Alex go from: that dude whose name we can't remember... all the way to Alex: the guy with the ferrari and collection of dura ace cranks in his garage. 😅
Every time I hear these questions I can't help to think of the first consideration for an answer. Pogacar (or anyone) can only produce so many watts, period. Doesn't matter what bike he's on, 435 watts (or whatever) is 435 watts. If we want to compare bike efficiencies we need to mount an electric motor on the frame, adjust it to a given power and move it from bike to bike to bike without changing this power setting. Perhaps in the near future we'll be able to build a robot that can ride a bike and give us these answers in a real scientific experimental setting?
What do you think of Colnago's new bike? 🚲 Do you think Pogačar could win on any bike? 🏆
Any road bike, for sure. On a gravel bike with road tires, probably.
@@oninjadaburaca wow!
I want to see him win on ‘el Alto’ make it happen GCN
Alex, would you give it a super nice if Colnago included a shadow stand as part of the deal?
He can win on a Penny-Farthing. The 2025 season is over already. 😭😭
If the new Colnago is more aero than the V4Rs, even if it were a couple of hundred grams heavier this would be an advantage for Pogačar because he mainly wins races by attacking and riding solo, whether that's a Classic or a Grand Tour stage. Once he's got the gap he ain't coming back, and saving 20W at 50kph just makes that more inevitable.
Re: your "sound issues" in your new studio. If you want to reduce the room acoustic you need to use sound deadening on at least one of the SIX surfaces of the "cube" (that's four walls, the ceiling and the floor).

Loving your work by the way, daahlings x.
yeah I was going to recommend possibly lav mics instead of an overhead as well (The sound here has improved but is still a bit reverb-alicious)
They probably need to add sound absorbing foam/egg boxiest the whole shipping container, then now live in.
So the studio is not aero?

An alternative question should be; could Pog win a grand tour on any other GT team’s bike? That answer is “yes”, in my opinion. No, not on just any bike, as Dr Bridgewood commented, the performance gain from GT-level bikes is substantial.
I think people are just afraid of change. The Y1RS is a supernice for me!
Fact is Pogacar winning the tour without an aero bike poses a question of how much of an impact it will make this year. Exciting year ahead!
How much or an impact could an aero bike make on Tourmalet? Or Loze? For this is where the Tour is won/lost
Would love to see Tadej on the Eurobike
100% don't believe Pog would lose 30 seconds by switching from Dura-Ace to 105.
You unraveled the chain!!! Thank you. Oh, I doubt TP will actually ride this bike unless it gets to 6.8kg.
At 3:57 Alex smirks at Ollie's smart talk😂

The acoustics of your new studio have improved. However, there is room for improvement.
we're on it!
The new Colnago was a nice for me at first because it looked so weird, but the more I see it, the more it grows on me. I'll go super nice
The Y1RS is SUPER nice! I think it looks really cool. I can’t wait to see what Tadej does with it!
The frame yes but that split handlebar tho, not for me
so long as there is a duraace chain and GP 5000 tires and the bike is less than 10kg. Pog would probs win on anything from the past 20 years.
That C60's a super nice every day. Also, I'm not sure that's not Blackpool.
31:36 nope, thats a standard stock emonda alr pain job. They used to have a few products with a similar theme like some very flashy shoes.
I'm so excited for next week's announcement of the winner of the super high-tech bell, Ollie!!
that white Trek in the bike vault is the " PALMARES " Edition colour way and that bike looks like an Emonda in 1X
I sent in a picture of my bike for the bike vault over a month ago and it haven’t been on yet. Should I resend it or do I just have to be patient?
I see that new Colnago and I'm thinking maybe I should swim and jog, too! Kidding. I like its looks, somewhat surprised the UCI is allowing it and letting it ride.
When you said 'the sound issues in your new studio', did you mean 'the sound issues in your biscuit tin'?🤪😉😂
The new Colnago is uber nice

I felt like Pogi had the slowest bike in the peloton. So the question is, "How much more would he win by with a faster bike?"
Ollie looks like he's just come in from a night on the lash (in 1985 - lose the backwards baseball cap!).
Ollie, what chemical do you use with the ultrasonic cleaner to get the parts so clean and basically back to new?
M.C. Escher would love the Y1RS and so do I.
That Colnago is a Nice at a best.
Acoustic panels should solve the reverb issue of the room.
How much faster would that new Colnago be with integrated rim brakes ? How much cleaner with straight spokes on the front and no pie plates spinning up a tornado hanging off heavy hubs ? Asking for a fiend.
For me, just nice on new Pogi bike, mostly for the handlebar shape. Odd
Behind you, is that the Pinarello that Alex built up?
Only a nice from me. I'll take the orange supernice on the wall behind you any day thanks!
RE: Mr Richard McGurire's comment. Yes! Bikes should be a life-long love affair. Di2 turns a bike into a throw-away gadget like a phone.

The new Colnago looks to have borrowed a lot from the Cervelo S5, just changed the seat post design around.
Pogacars colonago v4rs was already the slowest bike in the peloton & he’s been smashing everyone, so yes pogacar could win races on a 105 equipped mid ranged framed bike. Quite easily.

Bike doesn’t matter too much and as Pog himself said- intelligence is good but good legs are even better….or something 😂😂
I said outloud when the video first came on... 'sound is a lot better'.
Sorry chaps - sound is still a bit off - are you using the mics on your laptops?
I would like to see how Pogacar performs without the Gianetti and Maxtin juice
Everybody is beatable says Pogacar, but he also adds, not just yet 😉
Y1RS does the displaced seatpost make it more comfortable?
@@simonandrew6875 Yes. That is the entire concept of that configuration. It leaves the frame at a 65 degree angle and also transfers some of the vertical forces into the top tube that has been engineered to flex slightly.
I’m a traditionalist when it comes to bikes the new colnago looks like it has a really slack seat angle pretty sure it isn’t ,
Stll sounds like you're in the bog !
Just a Nice? Yea it’s unconventional, but it’s beautiful. And I’m not even a Colnago fan.
Could Tadej win on a Steelnovo is the real question
That blue bike looks like what I'd call a "fake" GIOS. At least not a made-in-Italy one. I have a few - the decal reads GIOS-TORINO. Alex might want to look up the history of the Brooklyn team with Roger De Vlaeminck in his spare time.

To accomodate round water bottles, change the cages.
just listened to the "ghost in the machine " podcast.
Could Pogi win on a bike without an electric motor inside??
Of course. Interesting question, perhaps, is could he win on any team?
Colnago new bike: Super Nice
Any kind of 4k road bike and he would win everything. He doesn’t need a stupid 16.3k colnago to do it
I’m confused are aero water bottles/cages more aero than the traditional round water bottle/cages?
it all depends on the frame shape and lots of other factors can influence it too!
The echo is still there. You need sound deadening to sort it out. It sounds horrible.
Gios - saddle should be tilted down
Bright green bike - makes sense, safety wise
Trek - saddle tilt is too steep, too much weight on the arms
Every time I hear these questions I can't help to think of the first consideration for an answer. Pogacar (or anyone) can only produce so many watts, period. Doesn't matter what bike he's on, 435 watts (or whatever) is 435 watts. If we want to compare bike efficiencies we need to mount an electric motor on the frame, adjust it to a given power and move it from bike to bike to bike without changing this power setting. Perhaps in the near future we'll be able to build a robot that can ride a bike and give us these answers in a real scientific experimental setting?
