- Thanks for that, shorter cranks could also allow you to continue pedalling in sharper turns I guess. But, are you saying that commercial bike frames might now start being adapted with a lower option in vue of mounting shorter cranks?Mistermaumau27-06-2025
- Obviously not you presumptuous squeek, seeing as the question was concerning the teams presenting 7, 8, or 9. The site has in the meantime upgraded its presentation to explain which teams are defined but that could not be deduced from the number alone unless there is a rule that forbids starting with a team of 7, I expect you know the answer to that but will refrain from sharing. 8 being the max. still doesn’t mean a list of 8 is definitive and won’t change, and showing 9 is in actually in bad taste (if there is hesitation between 2 or 3 riders then just list the sure starters and wait to complete instead of leaving everyone to guess and not be disappointed which name will be crossed off later). But hey, if you need a punching bag too, feel free.Mistermaumau27-06-2025

- They're often referred to as bike fitting specialists, Mau.. Just Google "bike fitting" and you'll find the basic things you need to consider. In general, shorter cranks allows you to spin the pedals better (higher cadence, ala Tadej), at the expense of torque (like when you stand on the pedals, ala Jonas). It allows the bike geometry to be altered such that the rider is closer to the ground (more aero) because the bike's bottom bracket can be set lower to the ground. Just my 2-cents worth.FredMan27-06-2025
- What a really dumb question, 8 days before the TDF. Did he think XDS Astana team would be only 3 riders. Really have to wonder about some people.
