Spare no expense on the frame, wind-tunnel testing, custom cog, etc...

Tyres: Continental Tempo
Why not the Conti Olympic?

Also:

BMC's Impec Advanced R&D Lab took 3T's Brezza Nano track bar, combined it with an adapted stem and the fork and wrapped it in carbon to add strength
Why would you need added strength to some TT bars? He's not doing a Kilo. Of every piece of equipment involved, the bars will endure the least amount of stress.

Also, if I'm laying on these bars for an hour, the last thing I want is for them to be stiff and unforgiving.

That entire article sounds like it was written by someone in the BMC Marketing department.

"We gotta sprinkle 'Lighter', 'Stiffer', and 'Faster' around as much as possible..." It's almost like they selling bikes in a bike shop
