Aru's italian champion jersey is really disapointing
It really is...I saw the photos earlier and didn't even notice he was wearing a special Italian jersey till you pointed it out....
Oh same for me!
I wondered why it looked a little different

It has the full Dura Ace but why does he prefer the RT99 rotors (over the SM-RT900 rotor)?

May be RT99 is better with mud clearance? Same as he is using prototype spd pedals

Not sure about 50% black+50% red colors - under mud it is not as nice as 100% red Laurens Sweck's Canyon

Why he is using 4 finger braking?

The SM-RT900 picks up more debris than the RT99 due to the larger surface area. This debris tends to get stuck in the calipers, also on a road bike on a murky day. That's easy to hear.

Simon Gerrans/some BMC Team riders have also gone with RT99 rotors on their bikes for 2018.

It seems that his levers are bottoming out, so I guess it's simply about moving his fingers out of the way.

From the latest cyclingtips podcast, the Axeon Bermans team will be riding the allez sprint for the whole season instead of Specialized Tarmac/ Venge.
