Giro tech: Astana's Specialized Tarmac SL4 bikes get built
Mechanic puts finishin💙g touches to team's machines
Italian rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) will start the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2013 Giro d'Italia as one of the top favourites, hoping to challenge 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Sharp), Bradley 💞Wiggins (Sky) and Cadel Evans (BMC) for overall honours.
A day before the race kicks off with a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:130km road stage st🥀arting and finishing in Naples, w𝓰e spotted Nibali's along with the other Astana tea💞m bikes being built up by their mechanic.
The mechanic was particularly concerned with the height of the Campagnolo Super Record shifters (some riders we🐷re on mechanical, others EPS), using a tape measure to check the distance between the bottom of the lever and the fork dropout. Nibali and his teammates will be spending a lot of time on their bikes over the ne😼xt three weeks and it's important that they're comfortable.
In addition to the Super Record groupset, the team are using Specialized S-Works carbon cranks, Look KeO Blade pedals, FSA K-Force New Ergo handlebars, FSA OS-99༺ carbon/alloy stem, FSA K-Force SB25 seatpost, a Selle Italia SLR saddle and Tacx bottles and cages.
Nibali and the team will be running Corima wheels: a Carbon Aero+ MCC rear and Carbon Viva S front. This wheelset was the same used by Alexandr✅e Vinokourov to last year.
