LIDL is not LITTLE. Please boys, I won't last the whole Tour with you mispronouncing the name!!!! Think of the “i” in Lidl like the “ea” in leader. “Leadl” then, for you english speaking people. Greetings from Germany. Edit: Just found out, that they themselves are doing this to them in the UK. Embarrasing for a german company to change their pronounciation for another market.

Richard carapaz bike having the switches on the side of the body is something ive commented on before.

Very interesting to note the *lack* of technical advances this year. A little carbon Ti rotor spindles, a bit of 3D printing. Otherwise nothing. The dropped seat stays (2021), aero bars (2019), bar shift buttons (2018?), narrow head tube (2019) are yesteryear. The video focussed on paint jobs, tweaks and... weight. I think manufacturers are trying to get the weight down from porky 8kg+ to nearer UCI 6.8kg.
