If the rumours are true and Sunweb will be on Cervelos next year does this mean a new TT machine might emerge?
Having the world TT champ and strong GC contender might create a bit of motivation. Maybe a road version of the GB track bike would be nice.
With the momentum of disc brakes, it's likely that there will be a new TT bike regardless of the team they sponsor, at least that's my guess. If the team/riders don't want to use whatever has disc brakes, the P5 will be a great rim brake option but I doubt there'll be a new bike that offers both.
Either way, not sure this is a good thing for Cervelo or not - probably neutral, a WT team is a WT team. From a results standpoint, they've gotten very little out of Team Dimension Data over the last couple of seasons so that might be an improvement. They still have to capitalize and market the team/riders to their advantage, which they haven't done a great job of that in my opinion. Right now, they have one of the most recognizable riders in the peloton, and they haven't particularly exploited that. I know he's crashed and hurt himself regularly since last year's tour, but Oakley still has found a way to get their money's worth.
