A record-breaking bike? Mark Cavendish's custom Tour de France CVNDSH x Wilier Filante SLR unveiled
Could this be the bike that Cavendish claiไms the all-time 🎉stage win record on?

Wilier has released images of the bike that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mark Cavendish will be riding at this year’s edition of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France. The special edition Wilier Filante SLR bike deviates from the standard 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Astana Qazaqstan Team paint job. Instead bringing a flourish of col🐓☂our to a bike that Cavendish will surely be hoping crosses the line first on at least one occasion.
Coming into this year's race Cavendish is on th𓄧e cusp of doing something that has never been done in the previous 110 editions of the race. Claiming a record-breaking 35th stage win. Cavendish currently sits tied in joint first place on 34 stage wins with arguably the greatest name in the history of the sport; Eddy Merckx. When he lines up at the start in Florence on Saturday there will surely be one thing on Cavendish’s mind.

The Filante SLR is Wilier's dedicated aero bike with the newly launched 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Verticale SLR﷽ taking up responsibilities as the brand's lightweight, climbing-focused bike. As a man on a mission, the faster Filante SLR is Cavendishes natural choice. 🐻When asked about his special edition bike Cavendish said;
“Filante SLR is the perfect bike for me, but I wan🤪ted something more.”
“Everyone has their own taste and that's why I love to add my own touch to the b🌌ikes I use, as they have been an inseparable part of my professional life for 20 years now.”
On his last trip to Wilier’s headquarters back in March Cavendish r𓃲ecalls seeing a picture, although the attached press materi✃al doesn't expand on what it was exactly that struck a chord and as a result, he asked if it would be possible to use it on the front of his Filante SLR.

When he got his hands on the finished product Cavendish said, “After a couple of months I found myself handling this Filante SLR which is spectacular, to say the least - perfectly in line with my expectations. They’ve done a gꦕreat job, which has just given me extra motivation for my next Tour de France”
The colours that make up this striking design all represent moments and victories from Cavendish’s illustrious career—starting with the green that symbolises the Tꦛour de France green jersey that he has won on two separate occasions.
Cavendish actually received a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:custom white, black and gold bike around this time last year in what we then thought was his final crack at the Tour de France. This year's model looks to pull out all the stops. Like last 🍌year's model Cavendish's personal brand name 'CVNDSH' is printed onto ea෴ch fork leg too.

The splashes of yellow celebrate his time in the yellow jersey as overall leader of the Tour de France. Rounding out the bold colour palette are blue, red and black flourishes that along with the green and yellow symbolise the colours of the UCI rainbow bands awarded to World ✃Champions. This is a nod to his own victory at the Copenhagen World Road Race Championships back in 2011.&n🐠bsp;
It is not just Cavendish that has access to this special edition frameset, howeve💛r. Wilier is making the CVNDSH edition available to purchase until 31 December 2024. We don't have pricing currently, but this is one way to remember the greatest sprinter of all time.
