There is a new front tire in 22mm.Right...but that's the S-Works Turbo model (220 tpi nylon casing), correct?
The Turbo Cotton has a 320 tpi cotton casing and comes in 24 and 26mm versions...and doesn't come in a black sidewall version either. From previous testing, the 24mm S-Works Turbo wasn't as low of Crr as the 24mm Turbo cotton, so I one wouldn't expect the 22mm version of the S-Works Turbo to roll faster than either (in fact, if all else is equal, the Crr on the 22 should be higher than the 24.)
I'm a bit confused on what exactly was tested/modeled as well...(IMHO, using the "Turbo" name in everything doesn't help)...especially since the Turbo Cotton is mentioned, yet in all pics of the bike I've seen (and the video) I've yet to see it with tires that have tan sidewalls (Turbo Cotton).
