new here and rules

folks I'm like the crotchety old grand dad/historian here, there are and have been no spoilers on thise site for years. you don't need to put an alert, or SPOILER on it. this is the RACE forum and guys post in real time or just after. If you are watching it on tape, stay out until you see it. The spoiler (or lack of) rules have been posted in this board numerous times. If ya don't wanna know don't look. Been that way for the last 3 years.

as for George, crap luck. Treks first year using CF steer tubes, not so good.

check the second photo

that steer tube is CF (Black). Last year he was using a Alloy steerer and had the bike with the suspension.

this year it's CF unless that's matte black grease

I'm going conspiracy theorist

I'm thinking it was a new fork, they were keeping it secret. that break looks too clean to be alloy. alloy tears,it rarely shears
