Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

Well the UCI must have turned a blind eye to teams using the conti comp Pro ltd as these were never offered for sale either but teams used them. i'm sure there have been plenty of examples of not available to the public boots used by teams over the years.
The construction in the centre of the tread of the comp is totally different and I believe has a latex inner as opposed to the butyl of the std comp.
I wonder who they got to cycle the circa 200,000 miles on the Pirelli's, I bet like the motor racing teams they are fed up to the back teeth of them And of course MS will all say they are fabulous because they're a sponsor.
