Cav came in with a puncture. I assume his tyre had been sliced in two by Kittel's evil rotors of certain death.

There's a lot of good things about disc brakes. I'm not sure improved steering has ever really been one of them.

I'm pretty sure there's some research floating around that says lower the pressure the lower the rolling resistance - maybe they were taking it to the extreme?

Through axle forks with the disk brakes?

Cav's front tyre certainly looks flat in that pic, that's pretty impressive riding, if slightly dangerous
