Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

They're saving a lot of weight with radial lacing on the rear -- BOTH SIDES. I can't imagine it can take the torque for an entire race.

Looks like single-cross.

Here's evidence that the compact frameset trend is getting out of hand.

Note that the frame is not a Specialized HotRock. The top tube is straight.

I can't believe we're trying to ID the frame of a 25-30 lb. bike.

I confess to not having weighed my kids bikes. They're all HotRocks, and they are lighter than most kids bikes because of the AL rims, hubs, and bars. They feel heavy compared to my bike, and that's saying a lot
