I’m also interested in the brakes… and if the rumored front hydration was implemented.
Side note: does anyone know what the UCI’s rules are going to be going forward for TT bikes? Not that I’m fast enough to be bound by them but I’m thinking about keeping my SC for TTs going forward.
I’ve done dozens of TTs and my bikes has never been measured. Never. Your SC should be fine.
Will find out

All you need is a BTA and rear setup for just about any race. If you need a refill option just slide in a Torpedo in your BTA holder. The whole massive front hydration while fast really is not needed to keep hydrated.

USAC Nationals-grade events, except possibly Masters Nationals where they relaxed the enforcement, it could be measured.
I also heard that the 3-1 rule will get dumped. But as others have said, unless you are a professional racing in the Nat Champs, your chance that your to have your bike checked or measured is ZERO.

I’ll start thinking about it if I ever make it up to Cat 1 
I like the looks of this bike but how aero is it. I hate the look of the new Ceverlo but I bet it is aero.
At least with this bike I could still use a majority of my go to parts.
Would like to see this up close for the front brake set up and aerobar/stem set up.
This bike looks boring to me. I love the look of the P5-X.
I love me some BMC, but I’m not a fan of how disjointed the seat post assembly looks.

Agree 100%
Nothin -wrong- with it, but pretty plain and dated looking compared with other new bikes. Was it really necessary to hide this behind a secret wall at interbike?! Usually that implies its something exciting…
The BMC, Canyon Speedmax, and (insert current superbike here) look boring and unimaginative compared to the new Diamondback and alleged Cervelo.

And junior and U23. Not trying to nitpick - just don’t want some jr. parent to read this thread and go buy their kid a Cervelo P5x for Christmas so they can try to qualify for Jr. Worlds.
Agree it looks like a pretty standard double diamond design but it is a very solid option. The fork looks very clean and it’s not hit-you-over-the-head obvious that they put the brakes behind the fork.

This!
Cannondale did something similar a while back IIRC.
Don’t like it. There’s no flow to the shape. It’s almost like they suddenly realised “shit we haven’t put a seat post in” or it reminds me of kids in crappy cars with giant spoiler nailed to the back. Completely incongruent!
In fact why do TT bikes not go with fixed seat posts like Giants Propel Advanced SL?

The fixed ISP frames can be painful to travel with since no removable seat post.

Because ISPs are one of the worst ‘innovations’ to be foisted on the world by the bike industry. The Propel manages to combine several bad ideas (ISP, brake calipers, 1.25 steerer) in one bike.
The big issue I see is that stores are so afraid to cut them that they just leave the saddle way too high.
As for the BMC - it looks like a nice incremental progression from the old bikes. Which is where UCI legal design is at - not much that can be done within the rules to improve on bikes that are already good.
ISP’s if done right and if the person is fit correctly on the bike they are amazing.
What am I looking at that’s amazing, there?

Integrated seat posts are a huge PITA to travel with and confer minimal benefits.
TriRig Just released a bunch of spy shots of the BMC Time Machine!
