- We're here at the Iowa City World Cup,
the first round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup
here in Iowa City in the USA and I have yesterday's champ
Maghalie Rochette, thank you so much.
- Thank you, thanks for having me.
- And how does it feel to have won your first World Cup?
- It feels a little bit incredible
although I've been dreaming of this
and I was really believing it could happen,
now that it actually happened I can't believe it happened
so it's a little bit crazy but,
positively overwhelmed.
- I can imagine.
You're on a very short list of riders
that have won a World Cup from North America.
- Yeah, it's cool.
- Congratulations.
This is your specialized S-Works,
tell us a little bit about this bike.
- Well I think the paint job of this bike
looks like a sunset and for this reason
I called the bike the Sunset Bike,
and I actually made a little poem for you.
- I would love to hear it. - And it goes like this.
When the sun sets, can you ask yourself,
did I make the most out of this day?
And that's where the sticker here on the top
to make it count, that's where it comes into play.
I can always ask myself did I make it count today?
- And I think yesterday you did make it count.
- I did, yes.
- High five to you, thank you so much.
- Thank you so much.
- Good luck today. - Thank you.
- Maghalie's using SRAM's all-new AXS red groupo
and has opted to take her power data with her,
yesterday's numbers are probably pretty high up.
She's using the Quarq power meter
with a 38 tooth ring on it.
She has 170 cranks on there,
and she's running a 10 33 rear cassette.
It's also running SRAM's AXS rear derailleur
with the fluid clutch, meaning that
anytime she's riding off-road all those bumps
and undulating things that you see in Cyclo-cross,
that chain's not coming off.
Maghalie has opted for Xpedo CXR Pro pedals
using a titanium spindle,
they're apparently 50 grams lighter
than the XTR Shimano pedals that we've seen
on other riders' bikes this weekend.
The Crux up top is super clean,
you don't see any bolts or any binders
to be able to hold the seat post in place
because it's completely integrated into the frame.
They used a clever little bolt that goes through the frame
and it must pinch the seat post here inside.
And then they've got a nice little cover
that goes right over it as well.
They're using a Zipp Service Course SL seat post, 27.2 size.
They've also got the specialized S-Works
Body Geometry saddle.
This is the Mimic model and it is completely made
of carbon fiber, the rails and a carbon fiber shell.
So moving up to the front end of the bike,
the cockpit is all by Zipp,
she's using the Zipp SL Speed carbon fiber stem.
And she's also got the Zipp SL 80 bar
which is an aluminum bar made by Zipp.
She has a K-Edge mount so she can take that data
from her Quarq power meter and she can see what's up top.
And then she's also running Lizard Skins DSP Bar Tape.
This bar tape, apparently we've been told,
comes in two different thicknesses, 1.8 millimeters and 3.2.
Maghalie has opted for the 3.2 thickness
for these Cyclo-cross courses
so she's got a little bit more padding on those bars.
This bike has Roval CLX 50 tubular wheels
with the white decals.
The white decals indicate that the rider is sponsored,
something that I didn't know.
It also has Challenge Baby Limus 33s on it
which for today's conditions,
having rained a lot last night,
is going to be a really good choice.
This bike has SRAM Red brakes
and it has a 160 front rotor and a 140 rear rotor.
I presume that's to get a little bit more modulation
and a little bit more braking power up front
when she really needs it.
It's also using center lock technology
to be able to keep the rotors attached to the hubs.
Okay, we're going to get some measurements.
My favorite which is the center of the stem
to the tip of the saddle is 53.5.
Up front she's running a 40 centimeter bar
with a 110 stem.
Looks to be a 49 frame set.
And the specialized Mimic saddle
looks to be a 155.
It's time for a weight, let's see what she comes in at.
It is 16 pounds on the dot.
