@@jossadaan there are no shortages at the moment and given the claim that it is more aerodynamic and generally better I doubt any rider's personal preference would be to ride an older model - there must be something else
My assumption is that the SPEEDMACHINE's resources have gone towards their Pro Triathalon team. They seem to invest pretty heavily. Second guess would be (as a speed machine owner) is that the geometry and top tube length could cause UCI legality problems when it comes to getting riders properly fit to the bike. That seems far fetched, but the ultra short top tube certainly has wrecked havoc on my fit, not to mention every pro triathlete on it seems to be ULTRA extended over the front wheel. With that being said, the bike is the best TT I've ever ridden/owned. Truly a different experience.
can you elaborate? as an ambitious hobby runner i am taking those as well and it definitely helps performance and so far i did not experience any stomach issues.

@@danielgostenmeier3261 Not only gel but energy drinks as well. They have three ingredients, water, sugar and some color product, APART THE PRESERVATIVES. These stay in the stomach for hours. The harmful effects come in the medium/long term. Just think how many doses a professional rider (or amateur, of course) takes during a three week Tour and during the entire season. That's nuts!
Epic Simon!! Keep smashing it man! 💪 🇿🇦
Love it😍😍
Great !!👌🏻
Go Daino Go !
Nice video ☺️ how come you guys don't use the new bmc speedmachine and are sticking with the timemachine?
Maybe shortage or personal preference for the riders

@@Datboyvideo thanks for the response that's useful to know!
As a nutricionist you should know that those gel things are stomach killers!
