Congrats to Gwin for having a dominant year! But let me play Devil's Advocate. I find it very difficult to accept that simply switching bikes would make someone so dominant. If that's the case, Leov should be having a great season too. "Training hard" to get dominant results would simply imply that the likes of Gee, Greg, etc. do not train off season. Or it's also like saying that Gwin himself didnt train when he rode for Yeti. The obvious riding position that I noticed for Gwin is that he rides tucked in now than he did last year, thanks to Tomac. But where does he find the time or line to take to be consistently up on either the first or second time splits? After that, its his race to lose. All I'm trying to say is that Trek, the company, might have something to do with it. After all, the bottomline is Gwin is a business investment. Results = Sales. Is it just a coincidence that Trek was also behind having an athlete who was so dominant that he won 7 times on a Road Touring Race? This is ALL my theory, which I'm entitled to say and of course they are all WITHOUT proofs. In fact, I dont even know how the speed traps work. All I know is, they're humanly programmed or worse if humanly operated. AGAIN, this is all theory, just something to think about. And besides, I dont think even Gwin himself knows anything about it. He even cant believe he's won sometimes, judging from his own interviews. Again, before you hate, THINK. About Us
