In its seventh year competing in the WorldTour, winning has become synonymous with Team Sky. For 2016 that seems to be continuing, at Liege-Bastogne-Liege with Wout Poels’ victory (and Team Sky’s first monument) – not to mention Chris Froome closing in on his third Tour de France victory later this year.
During the one-day classics season, BikeRadar was invited for an exclusive look into the Team Sky service course in Belgium where the concept of marginal gains and the foundations of Team Sky’s success begins.
We were shown around the service course by the team’s head of technical operations and commercial, Carsten Jeppesen. The Dane works closely with each of the team’s brands to develop products specifically to enhance performance. He's behind many of the incremental tweaks that have contributed to the success of the team in recent years.
