Pro Bike: Dan Martin’s Cervelo R5
Limited edition bike for the 100th Tour de France
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dan Martin (Garmin-Sharp) has enjoyed a breakthrough season this year. Three prestigious wins – a stage and the overa🎉ll in Tour of Catalonia, victory in Liege-Bastogne-Liege – means that the 26-year-old cli﷽mber has joined the firmament of the best cyclists in the peloton.
This year he started the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2013 Tour de France – only his second – as one of the Gamin-Sharp ‘chaos-makers’. Team manager Jonathan Vaug꧟hters believes the experienced squad, weighted towards climbers like Martin form “a group of guys that together can create chaos in the race.”
Martin’s principal bike will be the R5: a tried and tested, no nonsense frameset that’s light and stiff to serve him in the mountains and♎ aerodynamic enough for use on the fast flat stages. To celebrate ⛦the 100th Tour, team bike sponsor Cervelo have painted up a limited edition frames for the race.
The blue argyle in the badge and yellow details in the frame and the flash of scarlet in the Fi’zi:k Antares Braided saddle might not be to everyone’s taste but it does make the bike stand out. Beneath the decals this bike has pedigree. The light and dark Shimano Dura-Ace 2014 11 speed groupset runs the length of the bike, only interrupted by the Rotor SRM cranks and chain rings.
