Definitely tough bike market. My opinion too is the spend cervelo has at world tour + P6X development without rate of return sales are/were costly expense lines. And sales model of LBS having bikes on floor vs say a Trek Project One program. Have a tester in store, customize online, have on site ready 4 weeks later. Less risk to LBS. consumer gets to plug and play and customize paints etc.
Layer on Canyon DTC via Velofix in USA and Cervelo in a pickle with their distribution model.
That said its going to take Trek and Canyon longtime if ever to win Kona pier count. So maybe cutting back is much to do with why spend? Already own tri market!
Europe road scene must be a sales opportunity through PON distribution though no?
Good luck to you & team. I enjoyed my Cervelos over years.
