While facing UCI's inquiry into their controversial road-blocking manoeuvres at the Tour of Flanders, Team DSM remains committed to innovation and is currently trialling a tire pressure adjustment system.
The Dutch team had made arrangements to incorporate the Scope Atmoz, an inflation hub system worth €3,000 that enables cyclists to regulate their tyre pressure with a single button press. However, the trial was suspended at the last moment last year.

An air reservoir housed in the hub and connected to a tubeless rim by a hose allows the Scope Atmoz system to quickly adjust tyre pressure, with changes of up to 0.5 bar per second possible. It was approved by UCI last year.
This system operates in a simple manner, through the use of mechanical valves, the pressure within the tire can be controlled, and the rider can monitor front and rear pressure by utilizing a compatible head unit with ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity. To modify tire pressure, the rider only needs to press a button on their handlebars, which will then transmit a wireless signal to the mechanical valves.
The introduction of this technology has the potential to greatly impact the team's performance, particularly in races like Paris-Roubaix, where tire pressure can be the key differentiator between victory and defeat. Additionally, with the race's inclusion of rough cobbled sectors, the precise calibration of tire pressure could mean the difference between a comfortable ride and a subpar performance.

- On a positive note, you maybe notice turning this topic into a discussion has the benefit of eliminating certain participants who do not see how they can turn it back to their sole interest ;-)Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- People see what they want to. I am actually the opposite of your accusation, probably more of a rebel than most of you who don’t get the big picture. The difference is, I don’t go moaning publicly about the consequences of my transgressions, I understand the need for rules and I take my OWN responsibility when deciding to ignore or break them or doing so involuntarily. I will also not hesitate to state my case or argue vehemently when relevant, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse but that’s the price to pay for principles and having character.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- That may be but that was unknown to others and nothing says that’s the whole truth. Again, don’t try to misinterpret, it is a call and technically it is correct. Besides, even if there is a valid reason, that does not disqualify the ruling or punishment as far as the rules have been developed. I don’t think they’re as far as in football where for handball there is a distinction (in some ways and specific cases) between intentional or not. And football can be just as harsh and people live with it, eg the offside rule, also judged to within tiny fractions but often wrong or ignored. It’s the nature of every collective organisation and sometimes I wonder if our rebellion against it isn’t seated in the feelings we carry from the injustices we’ve felt personally, like being flashed driving 1km/h too fast when we are explained limits are just a security measure but we are absolutely certain not to have endangered anyone with our transgression. The problem is, nobody has better solutions and no 2 people have the same interpretation of where a limit should be.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Because for you deviated implies the other rider MUST have been made to fall and fail to finish ??? I don’t know if you ride a bike but next time someone carves you up or drives dangerously close, just hold back from those feelings of changing something, reporting or filming or even complaining. Everyone will just say, hey you’re still here undamaged, doesn’t seem like anyone did anything.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And we, what are we doing?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And yet, it attracts people, even you. What’s more, it attracts the rival fanboys to fill cyberspace with endless pointless my hero is better than your hero blabla that’s all been heard before and only helps sell the site as an advertising platform. You know what the solution is but most can’t resist. No different than women who follow and discuss celebs through gossip magazines.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- he is doing 460 watts for 35 min to achieve 7 w/kg with VO2 at 96 , just unreal numbers.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just do it, and put up with the consequencesJumpyjohn08-11-2026
- "was a headliner at the Tour de France" Nobody cared about Piddie. Only rivals that were there for Pogi, Jonas, Remco, Sexias, Lipo, Del Toro and they were all expected to lose. Piddie was not even in any conversation.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- exactly, he had an amazing season, but with these overstatements they don‘t do him good.Ketterechts08-11-2026
