All I am saying is that the top GT riders are dumb asses for not consulting you or slow twitch on brakes. The top three riders are all using rim brakes when their sponsor bikes, Bianchi, Colnago and Pinarello all have rim brake options for them.
Not sure about the the Colnago, but Ineos and Jumbo-Visma have trouble getting the Dogma and Oltre under the UCI weight limit. Ineos have been swapping out their sponsored wheels on critical climbing stages. (Though I’m not sure about this year with the lighter frame). And Jumbo-Visma have resorted to stripping the Oltre of paint. Disc brakes would make that even harder. And other teams apparently haven’t had as much trouble getting their disc brake bikes to the weight limit.
Also wheel changes are a bit slower with disc brakes (a problem few recreational riders worry about).
I’m still rim brake on the road with no immediate plans to change. But pointing at Roglic, Pogacar, and Bernal to point out the superiority of rim brakes is kinda silly.
What about Hirschi yesterday! Absolute masterclass climbing, descending, then “TTing” on a disc brake S5.
