I appreciate not needing to ride/race this course so thank you for the footage! Good luck if you're racing in B

That was quick! Thanks. I'll personally go for a Dogma/7.8 or Tron as it gives you a shout in the sprint. If you aren't a sprinter, there's no point in anything Aero as it gives no advantage, rather a disadvantage. The race starts at the hill. It's going to be pretty slow until the final climb aside from the sprint. At 14.5km/14.6km the route suffenly twists left to right quickly. At that point there's less draft and if you time it to go just before then, you could get a jump without direct draft. You'll likely still be following someone that also went early and that will keep you in front. A Pinarello with Disc wheels will be about 2 seconds slower than with 7.8s up that hill. The gradient makes a difference regardless of draft. The real world difference of a disc vs 7.8 on a flat sprint will be very little unless you are aon the front out of the draft. The Tron sits between the two choices. If you know you have zero chance to get FAL on sprint 1, best go lightweight like you said.

Totally agree! These races tend to be quite slow until the hill.
