Team Sky’s Bernie Eisel is using a Pinarello Dogma F8 Disk equipped with Shimano disc brakes in the Eneco Tour in Belgium.

We told you yesterday that riders from the Pro Continental Team Roompot were using Isaac bikes fitted with SRAM hydraulic disc brakes in the same race.

It now looks like Sky has become the first top-level WorldTeam to follow suit.

World cycle sport’s governing body the UCI confirmed back in April that hydraulic disc brakes would make their first appearance in the professional peloton this year under an experimental programme ahead of an anticipated full roll-out in 2017.

Teams could nominate two races in which they’d use disc brakes in August and September of this year.

Pinarello unveiled the Dogma F8 Disk back in May.

The bike is based on the standard Dogma F8 that Team Sky riders use regularly. The new Dogma F8 Disk is said to retain the “main characteristics” of the regular Dogma F8 in terms of the geometry, frame material, stiffness and aerodynamics.

The frame uses Shimano’s new Flat Mount brake calliper system (you can use adapters to make it compatible with other brake systems).

Pinarello has stuck with conventional quick release axles rather than adopting the thru-axles like a handful of other bike brands.

Good news? Bad news? Let us know what you think.
