Longo Borghini's race-winning Trek Domane - 'The perfect bike for Paris-Roubaix'
All the details of Italian champion’s unreleased Domane, which she🐻 claims was the perfect weapon to win the race
Elisa Longo Borgini (Trek-Segafredo) credited the technical work behind the development of her race-winning bike, a new 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:hitherto unseen Trek Domane, when discussing her win at the second edition of Paris-Roubaix.&nbs🍷p;
On the morning of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix Femmes, the public and journalists had the first glimpse of a bike that had been designed specifically with this race in mind, an impressively well-kept secret byဣ one of the world’s largest bike brands.
The new Trek Domane clearly shows considerable departures from the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:previous iteration of the bike, which was ridden by Lizzie Deignan when she won the very first edition of Paris-Roubaix Femmes last year. That means that Trek can claim a clean sweep iꦺn the history of the women’s edition of the race so far.
“Honestly I think we have the best bike for this type of race, the Domane is designed specifically for this type of race,” Longo Borghini said at a press conference following the race. “The equipment makes a⛎ huge difference, we have tested the materials in terms of performing the best in the race.
“We have the technical stuff, we have put a lot of work 🌺into it, and I’m thankful for꧒ them. It’s such a world we don't see, and it isn’t highlighted. But it’s really important for us, as they're trying to give us the best bike. And they did.
“Th🔯e Domane is the perfect bike for Roub⛦aix.”
Into the detail
As we reported when we first saw the new Trek Domane at the start of the women’s race, the new Doma🎉ne appears to have eliminated much of the progressive tech in the last generation of the bike.

The front IsoSpeed suspension system is g🐲one, along with the adjustable slider for the rear IsoS🦹peed, and the bike's seatmast has also been replaced with a more conventional seatpost.
The front-end of the bike is much more reminiscent of the Trek Madone, wit𒅌h a deep headtube section leading back to a bulky aerod𝓀ynamic downtube, suggesting the bike is focussing on a combination of aerodynamic performance and comfort.
The frame appears to be made from 800 Series OCLV carbon fibre, in line with the latest generation of Trek Mado♏ne SLR, while the storage unit below the bottle cage mounts appears to have been removed.
The bike bears Project One markings, suggesting these bikes will be offered as pa♉rt of Trek's custom build program꧃.
Elisa’s bike was set up as a 1x setup with a Sram Red AXS groupset, sporting a large 52-tooth front chainring, alongside whജat we expect ♐was a 10-36 rear cassette.
She rode on tubeless Pirelli P Zero Race tyres, 30mm in width, and on Bont🅷rager Aeolus RSL 37V Tubeless wheels.
Borgini used a Wahoo Elmnt head unit,𒆙 sporting an endearing prawn sticker. Weꦓ can only assume the second-ever Paris-Roubaix Femmes winner is a fan of sushi.
We await official details of the new Trek Domane, and we look forward to hearing about how the bike was developed to delꦡiver two Trek-Segafredo riders to this year’s podium.
