…on exactly the same bike with exactly the same wheels and tyres in exactly the same conditions on exactly the same road, BUT
first on the most recent, fully-mechanical Dura-Ace, then on the most recent, fully-mechanical Ultegra, which Froome would win?
How low down the groupset range do you think he would have to before it made a huge difference to his results? So, for example, could Froome on 105 hold his own against Froome on Dura-Ace?
I suppose the same could be asked about a competitive mountain biker and his/her groupset as well, but that would be another thread.
In any case, you can apply the same question to Campagnolo if you prefer.
