The new SRAM Force and Rival AXS groupsets have introduced significant technical upgrades in braking performance and shifter design, enhancing usability and compatibility.
This new package is designed to make upgrading from mechanical to wireless as simple as possible; the GX Eagle AXS Transmission Upgrade Kit includes an AXS-enabled derailleur body, AXS Battery, and AXS Pod Controller.
Team manager Sven Nys expressed frustration over material issues, specifically mentioning that broken chains prevented riders like Arthur Van Den Boer from contending for medals. He stated, 'We started the day badly with a lot of material problems,' highlighting how this impacted their overall performance and potential medal count.
