The one thing that the rest of us mortals would do if considering changing to a new bike would be to get a test ride before deciding, but we're not tied to multi-million € contracts that forbid us to ride anything else.
He'll never admit it now whilst under contract, but I wonder if at some stage in the future he'll 'fess up to wishing he'd had a test ride before signing the dotted line... :-?
Interesting.... :
