cervelo spend million on aero testing yet forgets to make the thru axle flush with the fork tip wtf.

the sram drivetrains costs jumbo 2-3 watts in addtional drag/efficiency, i hope sram slimmed down the 2023 groupsets but will not happend until shimano patents expire.

Very possible. I just remember the Lionel Sanders 54T Pro only chainring (this one is obviously significantly larger), that had the same visual design as the standard 46 - 52T rings:
Image
Cervelo P5 Disc (2021) 9.1kg
Factor Ostro Gravel (2023) 8.0kg
S-Works SL8 (2023) 6.3kg

*weights are race ready, size 58/L.

If they include an aux button on the side of the horns like some of the spy shots suggest, that's a pretty big addition.

Can you use blips with current axs to switch pages on garmin/wahoo?
Or what would be a good use case for that extra buttons??

If true that really sucks ... Force should have feature parity with Red - just be heavier and cheaper. Gating head unit buttons - especially now that they own a head unit brand - to Red would be a really bad move.

The force update will only be that - an update. New Red will be a new generation. I would assume a new force generation with additional features will follow some time later.

Will this group already be the one without a front mech? With the shifting inside of the crankset. Really looking forward to seeing how that works irl .

They're definitely on Rival-styled bodies, but they don't seem to have the version with the new "GRX" style lever blades.
