On Sunday, I watched the Tour Flanders on Versus. The rider that
dominated and eventually won the race was Stijn Devolder riding for
team Quick Step. He was riding a Specialized bike and it appeared to
the Tarmac model. I would have thought he would have been riding the
Roubaix considering that the riding was over cobble stone roads.
Can anyone tell me what, if any, differences there are in the typical
components of the bikes built for the Tour of Flanders compared to
bikes built for road racing on smoother surfaces (such as TdF etc.)?
Are the weight limits the same for these one day classic races as in
TdF? What is the weight of a team bike built for one of these on day
races over cobbles? -- Thanks!
