Sarah Gigante is a name to watch this season(Image credit: Kevin Anderson)
Gigante is a rising star in the women's peloton having won both the Australian Road and Time Trial National Championships and riding herself to second place in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:eSports World Champs, among many other accolades.
In her second year with the TIBCO SVB squad, Gigante will be well acquainted with her 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cannondale SuperSix Evo, and it appears the Melbournian is still riding the same bike as last year. Running a mixed Shimano Dura-Ace and Ultegra mechanical drivetrain, Gigante's chainrings most definitely have a few♕ miles on them. Paired with her Wahoo Elemnt is a 4iiii Precision Pro dual-sided power meter, and an Ultegra front mech wrangles the chain ac🥀ross the 53/39T chainrings.
At the back, an Ultegra derailleur is bolted to the same pink anodised direct-mount derailleur hanger as seen on the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:EF Education-Nipp♈o Cannondale team bikes. More robust than the standard OEM hangers,꧑ the direct mount version is said to provide more precise shifting and make wheel changes easier for mechanics in a rush on the side of the road.

Gigante's cockpit is based around a set of FSA K-Force bars attached to an FSA SL-K SCR Stem with Ultegra hydraulic levers. With a standard bar and stem setup in♐stead of a one-piece integrated ve🤪rsion, the cable and brake lines are out in the open; however, the mechanic has avoided a rat's nest without the need for even a single length of shrink wrap.
Given the young Aussie's climbing prowess, it's no surprise she's using a set of Shimano Dura-Ace C40s, which✤ are finished in 25C Vittoria Corsa tubulars.
Gigante's touchpoints come courtesy of Prologo with her bars wrapped in OneTouch 2 ཧtape, and her seating arrangements come in the form of a Dimension CPC saddle, complete with the grippy pa𝓰nels and Nack carbon rails.

With the vast majority of te🎀ams in the men's and women's peloton using bottle cages provided by either the team's bike sponsor, Tacx or Elite, the Arundel Mandible cages are a rarity in the WorldTour these days.
