Video: Thomas Dekker presents his Cervélo R5 bike
Garmin-Sharp rider talks ab⛎out his 2014 race bike



168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Thomas Dekker (Garmin-Sharp) prefers a combination of cutting edge technology, with an e🅰lectronic transmission but traditio🅺nal aluminium handlebar and stem on his R5 Cervélo race bike.
The R5 ꧃is part of Cervélo's R-series and not as aerodynamic as the S-series but Dekker prefers the lighter frame for most race scenarios, especially the hilly end of season race🌃s.
Like most professional riders, Dekker is happy to use an electronic transmission for the thousands of gear shifts he makes during a long season, with Garmin-Sharp using Shimano Di2. The team uses Rotor chainrings, and Dekker prefers the XL Q-rings which help reduce pedaling dead spots. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Garmin-Sharp was sponsored by Mavic in 2014, giving 💎the riders plenty of different rim and wheel options.
“I've ridden on a lot of bikes in the last years b🧸ut this is one of the nicest bikes I've ever hard. It's a really light one and still has a stiff frame,” Dekker said.
“With components like Mavic wheels, there's so much choice. For every kind of race there's something. I think the Shimano Di2 is the perfect gr𒐪oup. Everything works really smooth. We ride with Rotor cranks and I use the QXL chainrings. Until now it's one of the best bikes I've ever had.”
