Known for his climbing abilities and aggressive racing style, the Italian's time trialling abi🅠lity will also be put to the test on the stage 3 team time trial and the penultimate stage𝔍 individual time trial.
Nibali's Bahrain-Merida team use Merida Warp time trial framesets, and unlike their road models - which feature a predominantly black paint sch𒈔eme - the Warp retains the metallic blue finish seen on the teams 2017𒆙 framesets. It is expected the team will be on new time trial bikes for Tuesday's Tour de France stage 3 team time trial.
The bike is paired with drivetrain components consisti🐽ng of Shimano Dura-Ace R9150 shifters, while an SRM Origin crankset paired with Shimano 9000 series chainri💧ngs provide the drive.
For the rolling team time trial during last month's Criterium du Dauphine, Nibali opted for 55/42 chainrings. Nibali's Merida Warp uses a combination of brakes from TRP and Shimano. A TRP T860 front brake aims to improve aerodynamic 🌊performance at the front end, while the Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 rear brake is located under the bottom bracket to also reduce drag.
Fulcrum wheels are paired with 25mm Contin🦂ental Grand Prix TT tyres and Nibali's cockpit is made up of Vision components.
