Twenty-eight years after the platform’s controversial debut for World Tour Team ONCE - as the first bike to feature a sloping top tube, which the UCI’s instinctively tried to ban - we are now on the 10th generation of TCR. I've had the chance to spend 100km aboard the platform to bring you my first ride impressions. And, explain why this may well be the very last TCR.
