Opening Weekend<\/a> has arrived, and the Spring Classics<\/a> are finally upon us as one of the most exciting periods of racing on the professional cycling calendar kicks off.<\/p>\n

Racing this year has happened under cloudless skies or on dry Spanish roads, but there\u2019s something about heading back to Northern Europe for the start of the Spring Classics, which surely stirs the soul of even the most stoic cycling fans.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This year, I\u2019ve created one big gallery from both of the Opening Weekend races, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad<\/a>, which takes place first on Saturday, and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne<\/a>, which takes place the following day. This year, grey skies and light rain made it truly feel like Classics weather for Omloop, and it brightened up a touch for Kuurne.<\/p>\n

I toured the pits on both days, looking for new and interesting tech. Mens Omloop winner Mathieu van der Poel was riding at the very least an updated Canyon Aeroad<\/a>, most teams were running 30mm tyres, and some were actually sealing their tyre sidewalls, which I haven\u2019t seen before. Meanwhile, Cofidis had some very interesting looking 3D-printed derailleur hangers for their Campagnolo Super Record equipment.<\/p>\n

There’s some good stuff here that sets the scene for the tech to come in the Classics. I got my elbows out to get a closer look at the prototype Dura Ace wheels that Alpecin are using, and spotted a lone pair of prototype Michelin tyres over at Modern Adventure. One thing I didn’t see much of was anything smaller than a 30mm tyre; 30’s and 32’s were the order of the day.<\/p>\n

The Classics are now here. I hope you enjoy our first tech gallery of the year from them.<\/p>\n

We start at Omloop, in the vast hangar on the side of the velodrome in Ghent. This is Arnauld De Lie\u2019s Orbea Orca Aero; he may have drawn the short straw here; my hunch is that he started with this camera and removed it as he progressed into the race. No pro would want this on their bars. <\/p>\n

\n

Lotto\u2013Intermarch\u00e9 are very keen on stem-mounted fuelling notes. I didn\u2019t see many other teams with nutrition plans like this. Fuelling is clearly important to the team during the races.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Close\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

The aero Orbea Orca has a deep, aggressive head tube, spot the healthy spacer stack for a pro bike, this is a key theme from Opening Weekend. <\/p>\n

\n

\"Closeup\n<\/p>\n

The team also had some neat aero 3d printed computer mounts this year. More teams are doing this now; last year, it mainly seemed to be UAE. <\/p>\n

\n

Here\u2019s a close-up of the nutrition plan, that is a healthy amount of carbs. Try it on your next five-hour ride. <\/p>\n

Separate bars and stems used to be very rare; I saw quite a few this year. This feels like a rider still finding their position to me. <\/p>\n

\n

And then there was this monster belonging to Mathias Norsgaard, it’s not pretty, but it seems to work for him. <\/p>\n

Here are the unreleased Bontrager wheels the team has been using. I took a good look at the hubs. The rim of this one looks like it\u2019s had a good ding to me. <\/p>\n

\n

\"Closeup\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

Here are the silver hubs with \u2018RSL\u2019 on them, which stands for Race Shop Limited in Bontrager \/ Trek speak. This could well be a new addition to the Aeolus wheel range. <\/p>\n

\n

\"Closeup\n<\/p>\n

The wheels have carbon spokes, and I spotted the Vonoa brand name, a Chinese brand whose spokes can be found on several brands’ wheels. <\/p>\n

Lidl-Trek signed a deal with Gatorade at the start of the year. The Madone is more aero with these bottles fitted, spot the ’30’ written on the rear, which I assume is the carbohydrate amount in the drink mix. <\/p>\n

\n

Lidl-Trek use these aftermarket disc lockrings to save weight.<\/p>\n

Lidl-Trek kicked off the SRAM 1X13 Red XPLR use this time last year, and now a lot of teams seem to have followed suit. They had fitted K-Edge chain catchers for extra security, which SRAM recommends. <\/p>\n

\n

\"A\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowski)<\/p>\n

Rose Rockets switched to SRAM groupsets from Shimano over the winter; they had a mix of double and 1X chainsets, but I think the riders’ race bikes all had SRAM Red XPLR fitted.<\/p>\n

\n

\"A\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

Here’s a 1X Red chainset; the team developed a custom Wolf Tooth chain catcher to go with its Rose frames. <\/p>\n

\n

This rider stopped to sign some autographs for some young fans. There were a lot of young cycling fans at Kuurne Brussel Kuurne in particular. The sport is alive and well in Belgium. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the bike that everyone was talking about or trying to spot at the beginning of the year. The new SuperSix Evo, these new Cannondale bars were designed specifically for the bike. <\/p>\n

\n

\"A\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

The Gen 5 SuperSix is slightly lighter and faster than the old one, though nearly every frame tube shape has been updated and changed.<\/p>\n

I liked this custom EF race number holder, and several teams had cool custom ones. <\/p>\n

The Van Rysel RCR-F machines look super agressive in the flesh, there’s loads of deep, wide tube profiles, and that includes the Deda handlebars.<\/p>\n

It was dim in places in the Omloop hanger; the lights of the team cars illuminated certain bikes depending on where they were. Note the thru axle lever here to help with faster wheel changes in the event of a flat.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the brand new 3D printed Fizik Arione, which launched just a few days before Opening Weekend. The Arione name has been around for a very long time now. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one of the as-yet-unreleased 32mm Specialized Turbo Cotton tyres. This size of Cotton isn\u2019t currently available on the brand’s website. There was some interesting stuff going on with Bora\u2019s tyres. <\/p>\n

\n

\"Opening\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowski)<\/p>\n

Several of the tyres had a clear, silicone-like coating on the sidewalls that overlapped slightly with the tread. One of the mechanics I asked told me it was for protection.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Opening\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowski)<\/p>\n

Bora also had SRAM 1X chainsets with K-Edge chain catchers fitted. <\/p>\n

\n

\"Opening\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowski)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s that sidewall sealant again; it was definitely on several pairs, and I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve seen it on many pro road bikes before. Perhaps it\u2019s something to do with the unreleased nature of those 32mm tyres.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Kuurne\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

The team appeared to be back on 30mm tyres for Kuurne, which has slightly less testing cobbled surfaces. <\/p>\n

\n

\"Kuurne\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

Bora had a bike or two with a separate handlebar and stem. I wonder if teams are simply waiting on custom integrated bars, or riders are starting to revert back to them to achieve a better position. <\/p>\n

\n

\"Kuurne\n<\/p>\n

\n

\"Kuurne\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

This Y1RS had some extra padding at the bar hood area, I think it\u2019s so the rider can hunker down and hold an aero position more easily. This bike belonged to Rune Herregodts. <\/p>\n

\n

New Wilier Filante SLR machines for Groupama FDJ, the team told me they are still waiting to receive the new Miche wheels, which were recently launched. <\/p>\n

\n

The team was also the only squad on the 30mm brown sidewall colourway Continental GP5000 S TR tyres. They told me this was the only option when I asked, but a check on the Conti site shows both black and dark brown versions available, strange. <\/p>\n

For Omloop, a lot of teams were using the Zipp 303 SW wheels with the Bluetooth AXS tyre pressure sensor. Pro teams haven\u2019t used these wheels much, but a lot had them on for Omloop. The whole Movistar squad were riding them, for example, over the deeper 454 option. <\/p>\n

Shimano neutral support has everything needed to help riders who can\u2019t get a bike. The famous Shimano blue stands out a mile away. This was at the start of Kuurne. <\/p>\n

This is Mathieu van der Poel\u2019s race bike, pre start the team arrived last, and it was tough to get near the bikes. Van der Poel was riding prototype Shimano wheels, which we look at next.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Kuurne\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

The wheel hubs are stamped \u2018Prototype\u2019, the wheels have carbon spokes, and given the pro rider use, I assume this is how the next generation Dura-Ace wheels may well look. <\/p>\n

\n

\"Kuurne\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: Tom Wieckowki)<\/p>\n

I also found a Shimano product code that doesn\u2019t currently exist. Current Dura-Ace wheels are listed as WH-R9270; this WH-R9370 code could well be for the new Dura-Ace.<\/p>\n

The Total Energies Cube Litening bikes really pop this year, but the colour scheme is dangerously close to rainbow stripes territory.<\/p>\n
