Who wants to guess how many chainrings Vingegaard was using on his commanding win on the lumpy Stage 5 of the Dauphine today...yep...just the 1! cycling 1xiscoming
As good as the Classified system is it does still have its cons, especially in the pro peloton. No, we’re not talking about Campenaerts having to walk up the Muur on his 62-tooth chainring setup, but rather wheel changes. Unless everyone chose to use it, which seems unlikely, then spare wheels won’t have the required tech hiding inside.
This week we’ve been at the Dauphine, the main warm-up race for riders and teams before the Tour de France. If you’re one of the world’s best and want to use new tech then it happens here. It's a playground for equipment to be tried and tested before it's used on the biggest stage in professional cycling.
In addition you can also achieve a better chain line, which might offer better efficiency than a more traditional 2x setup. They say every pro has a con and that is most likely the case here as it will mean that when not climbing, more time will also be spent down in that 10T cog. The smaller the sprocket, the greater the drivetrain losses. You win some you lose some...Of course, the main reason we suspect Vingegaard has opted to use this set-up , is weight.
Like it or not, 1x is coming to the road, and perhaps for good this time. The dawn of 12-speed groupsets has meant that 1x is inevitable, as gear jumps get smaller whilst still providing pro riders with just about enough range.
