A truly prolific winner in his own right, it seems that Van der Poel has swapped roles at the Tour to become the outstanding lead-out rider in the peloton, going all-in to help his teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jasper Philipsen rack up stage wins and green jersey points. The duo are perhaps the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:best sprint combination in the world rig💛ht now, despite Philipsen being on the older (current) model of the Aeroad.
The sil𝕴houette of the new Aeroad is essentially the same as the current model, with deep tube shapes, a near horizontal top tube, and for Van der Poel at any rate, a very racy position (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
The pure optic white paintjob is stark in a world of overly elaborate pro-only paintjobs, but it certainly makes the monochromatic♒ sponsor logos pop. The design of the fork crown seems to have converged along with that of t🐽he Ultimate and the Inflite. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
A deep headtube smoo🦋ths the airflow, while the nearly slammed stem puts Van der Poel into a more aero position himself, whether on the hoods or the relatively d💎eep, classic shaped drops of the bars. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
The Canyon integratꦆed cockpit is now shared between the Aeroad aဣnd the Ultimate, adding aero gains to the more all-round model (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
That's about as low as it's possible to get the front end of the bike without resorting to a much more drastic negative rise on the cockpit, which isn't produced by Canyon. Hiding all the hoses internally helps ꦚkeep pes💝ky round things out of the wind. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
The 17g 3D printed computer mount isn't used by all the team, but is by Van der Poel. Aero is king, but w♚eight is st🎃ill important. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
The cockpit isn't a single piece, rather the central T-section is c🧜ommon, and the curved portions bolt on to allow different widths to be run. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)

While many teams run a Shimano groupset and different wheels, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alpecin-Deceuninck are one of a handful that run an entirely Shimano build, including the wheels. It is rare that we see Van der Poel not☂ using the Dura-Ace C50 wheels👍, even in the mountains. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:new Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres provide the traction, here in a 28c width as is becoming the new norm💦al in the age of d🍌isc brakes. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
T🌌he new tyre is tubeless ready, and it runs tubeless here as evidenced by the valve. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
The seat post of the Aeroad is extremely d❀eep, here topped by a Selle Italia Flite saddle. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
Pros often run a bike a little smaller than consumers would for a given height for a lower weight and shorter wheelbase. It does mean they often have to compensate by running a longer stem and/or a greater setback on their saddles, as seen here and on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Pidcock's bike. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
The previous seat clamp for the Aeroad was located at th𓄧e rear, on the seat post itself. Here it's in the much more standard position for a modern bike, on the top tube just fore of the seat post itself. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
A very pro 54/40 chainset transfers Van der Poel's massive wattage to th꧋e rear wheel (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
It may feel to many of us like Dura-Ace has been around forever, and depend💟ing on your perspective, the fact that it's been around for 50 years may confirm that feeling or come as a surprise. In any case, a bike running a full Dura-Ace build does seem a fitting place for a 50th anniversary decal from Shimano. (Image credit: Josh Croxton)
