At the first training camp of BORA-hansgrohe, Peter Sagan has tested a Specilized S-Works Roubaix with disc brakes. Technical director Lars Teutenberg has told Cycling Tips that the world champion is considering using them in some spring classics, including Paris-Roubaix.
Teutenberg explained that Sagan just did one ride on the bike with disc brakes which are again allowed by the UCI since the end of October.permitted by the UCI since last October weather has made.
“We also have the Venge with disc brakes available for the riders. During February we will see for the Roubaix setup. The advantage there is you have way more tire clearance than with any other traditional brake system,” he said.
If the world champion actually opts for disc brakes, it could be a breakthrough for the industry.
“Peter wanted to try these brakes. He has some requests on how to set it up to match his preferences, his sensations. Then we will see. You can’t really decide on the table if you prefer that system compared to another one. It needs all these tricky conditions where you really feel the difference then,” Teutenberg concluded.
