I didn’t realize this, but GCN tells me that Tadej Pogacar at least partially won the Tour de France this year on rim brakes…or maybe I realized it and forgot it, which seems to be a trend these days. Whatever, he just won his 2nd Monument of the season on them again. I am not convinced we have seen the end of these things, but the disk lobby is strong, persistent and has a lot of incentive to have everyone riding them. It’s nice to spot a few holdouts while they are allowed to do so.
