tl;dr: Nowhere near as surprising as I expected. Surprisingly unsurprising.
This one is mostly serious, with some jokes for spice. Itβs also likely there are mistakes due to my haphazard efforts and the fallibility of Wikipedia.
Sonny Colbrelli had not won a Grand Tour stage prior to winning Paris-Roubaix. No GTs have happened since October 4th [source needed], so he still hasnβt. That seemed unusual, as monuments, especially Roubaix, are obviously more coveted than GT stages [source needed]. I needed to find out more. How unusual is that?
In his ten Grand Tour participations (Giro x5 2012-2016, Tour x5 2017-2021), Sonny barely sniffed the podium on any stages before 2021. He had a total of 3, twice in the 2018 Tour and once in the 2016 Giro. Obviously, he was a lead-out man and domestique for many of these GTs, but it just shows how lackluster his GT results have been. 2018 Tour de France came second twice (Stages 2 and 5). 2016 Giro came third on Stage 5.
This led to some doubters about his 2021 season based on recent history. In the 2021 Bahrain Victorious preview podcast, a certain βback of the packβ friend of the subreddit was not exactly over the moon on our Sonny-side-up Italian champion:
u/thelanternerouge: Team leaders. Pretty clearly in like one-day races and semi-cobbles is Sonny Colbrelli. In like Brabantse Pijl-style races, I mean, heβs a hard one, Colbrelli, right? Because, would you, would you really go into a race, Benji, like a World Tour, top-level race and say, βColbrelliβs our manβ except for maybe a Giro stage that really suited him?
u/benjinaesen: I would! [authorβs note: *Boom!* The prescience is strong with this one. Must be proximity to the jedi rat thing. Donβt listen to Lanterneβs Lunacy and his doubting of the shining beacon of light that is Sonny βSunny Colβ Cobblerelli] I think heβs got potential. I was a pretty big fan of Colbrelli the years he won the likes of a Brabantse Pijl because heβs the type of rider that doesnβt necessarily give up easily. He can be in a, in a group without being the best climber [Hello, Remco EC] and just hold on as much as possible and still outsprint everybody in the end [Hello, Mathieu Roubaix].
Before 2021, Sonny Colbrelli was a good rider. He consistently placed high up in the classics and had many decent performances at the Tour and the Giro. But nothing excellent. 2021 before Roubaix had already been his best season by far, winning the Italian and European Cha

That said, Iβve cycled for years. I have lower back issues now, so Iβve got into mountain biking. Surprisingly, I donβt get back issues with that. I narrowed it down to the fact that my current road bike is a 2005ish Kestrel Evoke, so a pretty aggressive stance (at least for the time) that is just painful to lean over for a couple hours at a time.
But I canβt mtb quickly for an hour workout daily or keep consistency going like I can with road cycling (itβs as natural and quick for me to just go when I have time as running is for many).
Iβm looking more for endurance road bike for the comfort reasons.
My style is more of distance with rolling hills and maybe a few not bad 10-15% grades here and there in the Front Range of CO. Though I wouldnβt mind every so often grinding my way up a mountain road.
But primarily Iβll be doing light rolling hills for 30-50 mile rides and a couple metric centuries a year.
I donβt race. I only compete for my own times, but Iβm going more for fitness so longer durations are important.
I assume any of these 3 will be a significant step up in the comfort and technology than my old Kestrel with old Ultegra components, so I figured I canβt go wrong with any.
I canβt try a Canyon before buying because I donβt have them out here, but the 30 day return is letting me consider it.
Specialized and Trek are a dime a dozen out here, so plenty of LBS support. Alas, Iβm paying a premium for those brand names. Cool gimmicks on them like the integrated storage or the βshockβ, but Iβm not sure Iβd care after a while.
Iβd love for a cool looking bike, but honestly Iβd rather go for functional differentiators and comfort before I let the looks be a tie breaker.
Thoughts?
Hello whichbike community!
I am looking to get my first road bike. From some research, an endurance bike seems to be a good fit to my usage scenario: recreational rides on bike path + occasional 15-mile commutes on bike paths+streets. In my area, I narrowed search to these two:
2017 Trek Domane 4 for $1000
2015 Specialized Roubaix SL4 Sport for $825
Any thoughts which bike would offer a better value? Is one or the other will be more/less expensive to maintain assuming normal use? Thanks in advance, I would appreciate any input!

Race Breakdown
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 2021 Men's Paris-Roubaix!
That's right, "The Hell of the North" is back this Sunday following a 903 day absence. And after 19 dry years, it looks like we're going to get a rainy race too!
The 118th edition of this prestigious monument features a 257.7 km route with roughly 1,550m of climbing. What distinguishes Paris-Roubaix from other races, however, is the cobbled sections, also known as secteurs of pavΓ©. This year's race features 30 cobbled sections totalling 55km, each of which is assigned a star rating by the race organisers to indicate their difficulty. One star is 'easy', five stars is brutal!
Proceedings start in Compiègne, with 96.3km of tarmacked road helping to ease the riders into the race ahead of the first secteur of pavé, the three star Troisvilles à Inchy. After ten more sectors ranging from two to four star difficulty and a brief spin through the city of Denain, the riders will hit the notorious Trouée d'Arenberg, the first five star section. It's likely the race will really get started here, as riders look to get away and attack on the long 2.4km section of widely spaced and jarring cobbles.
Those who conquer the Arenberg will then reach Mons-en-PΓ©vΓ¨le seven sectors later. The run-in to Mons-en-PΓ©vΓ¨le is the toughest part of the race on paper, with all the sectors either ranking at three or four stars, including the longest sector of the race, the four star Hornaing Γ Wandignies, which is 3.7km of lumpy bumpy hell. Mons-en-PΓ©vΓ¨le will then just add insult to injury for the riders, with 3km of wide uneven cobbles potentially serving as a launchpad for long-range attacks with just under 50km of the race to go. The suffering continues right the way until Carrefour de lβArbre, the final five-star section of the race. This 2.1km slightly uphill drag

Is anyone aware on the release date of the 2022 sport? I prefer it to the 2021 due to the 105 crankset and the smoke grey color. Thanks!

The German women have been dominating the sprint tournament so far, today's there's a chance for Friedrich to add another gold medal to their sprint tally. She might get some competition from Voynova, who won the World title on this event in 2015 and 2016.
