Why this bike wins here

2018 Worlds Short Lap is hilly, with 20.9 m of climbing per kilometre, the kind of course where low weight usually counts for clearly more than aerodynamics. The Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL9 is an all-round frame. Disc or regular wheels is a close call: the Princeton Wake 6560 White is 3.2 s faster than the Cadex 4-Spoke/Disc here, and 0.55 kg lighter.
