Bike weights in the pro peloton, why so heavy?

I don’t often watch GCN videos. They tend to be pretty cringe these days, but this tallying the weights of every pro team bike did catch my eye. At the Tour Down Under in Adelaide last month, the GCN crew weighed every team bikes they could get their hands on! Now that’s the sort of content I’m here for!
