Why this bike wins here

Acropolis Sprint is rolling, with 7.0 m of climbing per kilometre, the kind of course where aerodynamics usually counts for far more than low weight. The Cervelo S5 is an aero frame, the kind of frame that terrain favours. Disc or regular wheels is a close call: the Reserve Infinity Disc-set is 0.07 s faster than the Enve SES 8.9, but 0.29 kg heavier.

What the terrain rewards, from its climbing alone: aerodynamics against low weight

The course

Surface unverified; road assumed by model; the shares describe the timed segment.

Extra watts are what the fastest setup needs to hold its pace on each surface rather than on tarmac, averaged over the ride - they appear once a ranked setup and mapped surface positions are there to simulate .
