  Nick Bouwens had good legs during the race. Vadim Dolha had an off day. Barthélémy Martel suffered from a mechanical issue. 6:00
  
  in my team's first climbing race with the full squad, we have achieved a first place using TT equipment. i don't know what the future holds, but i assure you, if my team keeps doping we shall keep winning.

  Congrats!

Super Velo at 16:03 28/2-2018
  I think that what last place is saying it that the % gain according to the stars on the wheel can't go above 100%. So a guy with 99 in TT might get enough % to seem like he's at 100. While a guy at 25 TT might have the % give his stat a boost to say 50. Which wouldn't be enough to beat a 99 TT guy with no wheels... My numbers are just examples.

Ello Ello at 08:45 28/2-2018
  25*1.04-25 = 100*1.01-100
  
  It doesn't matter what their starting stat is the amount they gain is the same. All the matters is the profile of the race.


lastplace1414 at 11:16 27/2-2018
  The % gain per star is on a regression curve. A rider with 25 CL gets like 4x the % gain of a rider with 95 CL. As a result TT stuff is only marginally effective for riders who have max TT, and for races liked 7-x-4--x-3-x-3-7 they'll get mileage out of the climbing gear.

  if the user guide is written correctly it would be better to use TT wheels....each star is % so it would be best to improve the best skills, right?

Super Velo at 01:48 27/2-2018
  That might be a real good idea. Maybe I'll buy some climbing wheels. Cool.

lastplace1414 at 23:38 26/2-2018
   I'm now using my climbing wheels for mountain TTs. Because of the diminishing returns, my TTers benefit more by bolstering their crappiest skills.
