- We're in transition area with the pro bikes.
We're gonna have a little wander down through the bikes,
and see if there's anything weird,
interesting, or different.

We just stumbled across Richard Murray's
Specialized S Works Shiv,
and check out the paintwork on this.
This is the Torch paintwork,
so it goes from a deep red to a yellow as
the temperature increases.
Pretty cool.
So, I've also noticed on Richard Murray's TT bike,
he's on an unbranded disc,
so Specialized come with Roval wheels.
You can see he's got a Roval front wheel.
But the fact that he's got an unbranded disc might
suggest that Roval are trying out doing a disc.
Very interesting.
Here, we have Lionel Sanders' Louis Garneau bike,
and take a look at this.
It's a pretty striking paintwork.
Think that says it all, really.
Right, so I've just stumbled across this.
I thought it was a bit of rubbish, just left here,
but if you look in here.
He's shoved a little bit of tissue in the Garmin mount.
So, I can only suspect that that is to stop any
rattling of the Garmin in mount,
just keeps it nice and solid in there.
Good idea.
So, we've noticed Michael Raelert's CUBE bike here.
So, Micheael's been with CUBE for a few years now,
but what I have noticed is he's
on a fairly new looking bike,
and I can't actually tell you a whole lot about this,
because it was only released as a
prototype the end of last year.
It's called the CUBE Aerium C68,
and, as you can see, it's got quite oversized
parts on its frame,
some really special aerodynamics, too.
He has a partnership with Swiss Side Wheels,
which has some formula one background.
So, they've gone to absolute full extent on the
aerodynamics on this bike, as you can see.

Here, we have Sebastian Kienle's bike.
(music stops)
I don't know what it is.

Interestingly, we're seeing a lot of the
CeramicSpeed product across the pro field.
So, here, again, we've got the CeramicSpeed
oversized pulley wheel system,
and I wouldn't be surprised if he got the
CeramicSpeed bottom bracket,
and, as you can see, he's got the CeramicSpeed chain with
the very messy gunk all over it.
But, low friction.
Okay, we've got Terenzo Bozzone's Argon 18 here,
but check out these pedals.
So, these are the Keywin Pedals.
I've not actually come across these before.
I believe it's an American brand.
They've got the largest pedal platform around,
and that's meant to provide better power transfer.
We stumbled across Laura Siddall's pro bike here,
and she's riding a Ceepo with quite a cool paintwork on it.
She's also got some really cool things going on.
She's got a quote on her helmet saying
don't die trying,
and then when she's down on the aerobars here,
she's got a few quotes on her bottle,
all in, jump, risk, yes, can, now, faster.
Pretty cool.
And then on her bottle reservoir straw part,
she's got a little pin in the straw.
So, she noticed when the wind hits the straw,
it should stop the straw from folding over.
So, she's got it continually pointing up towards her mouth,
so she doesn't have to move from her position,
she can just quickly sip away.
Also, another little fun thing,
she's got her top cap here,
not quite sure what it does,
but it's almost like a English rose design.
Really cool.
