Scott Daubert Speaks to The Paceline About Recent Trek Innovations

Reading Time: < 1 minute

A fellow fitness gadget fan pointed me to an interview that Scott Daubert of Trek did with Will Swetnam of ThePaceline.com. They discussed the new frameset modifications that were used by the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team for the first time at Paris-Roubaix, new aero bars that will debut at the Dauphine Libere, and recent design process improvements that have been made possible through Trek’s collaboration with AMD.

This is a very good interview and it helps me understand how long the Discovery Channel Team can wait before deciding whether to incorporate newly-developed bike technology at the Tour de France. It surprises me that they are still trying out gear at races like the Dauphine, but it’s better to do that than to ride an untested configuration in the Tour, as David Millar did in the 2003 Tour de France Prologue.
