- Mikel Landa is one of a number of riders at Team Sky
who you wouldn't exactly be surprised
that they made the podium of Grand Tour
and this is his Pinarello Dogma F10.
Team Sky raced on the Pinarello Dogma F8 in 2016
and they received the F10 at the start of 2017.
The focus of the F10 is on aerodynamics
and when you think about it,
that does make sense.
For a smaller rider like Landa,
it's very easy to get a top end race bike
towards the UCI's lower weight limit of 6.8kg
or even significantly below it, to be honest.
So, how do you make a super light bike faster,
you make it more aerodynamic.
So, things like if there were a bottle in that bottle cage,
it would integrate very smoothly with the down tube,
making it more aerodynamic,
helping Landa to go faster.
Just the attention to detail on this bike as well.
So, you've got things like the seat post bolt clamps
are very well hidden, barely visible
and even the trailing fin behind the front fork drop out.
Linking in with Team Sky's 2017 jersey,
the lines on the frame represent some of
the major victories of the team throughout its history.
With the frame set covered,
let's take a look at the build of Landa's bike.
Starting at the very top,
he's got a Fizik Antares VS saddle
with carbon fiber rails.
The VS models of Fizik saddles
have a channel down the middle.
Moving forward from there,
he's got a PRO stem.
The PRO stem is 121mm in length.
I think one of the things we always marvel at
about Team Sky's bikes
is just the kind of lengths that the team and the mechanics
prepare to go to make sure the bikes fit as well as possible
and go as fast as possible
and stems in one millimetre increments.
Still is amazing to me and I've been lucky enough
to do pro bikes on a few Team Sky pro bikes now.
The handlebars are also PRO, as is the bar tape.
Landa's brake levers are Shimano's Dura-Ace Di2 9150.
Landa actually goes without sprint shifters
or any extra shifters which isn't too unusual for a climber.
The front and rear mech, also Shimano Dura-Ace.
They're also Di2 and they're also 9150,
which is the latest 2017 version of the group set.
Landa's brakes are Shimano Dura-Ace 9100
and they are standard mount.
His chain set is Shimano Dura-Ace 9100,
as are his pedals.
I actually really like the look
of the new Shimano Dura-Ace pedals.
The bottom bracket on Landa's Dogma F10
is a threaded bottom bracket
and this is quite an interesting one as well
because most teams now, or many teams,
you will see using BB30 or PF30 bottom brackets
and they require quite a lot of tools
and often quite a lot of time to change.
This slightly older style of bottom bracket,
Team Sky went back to at the start of 2014
because their marginal gains goes further
than just the riders.
It also applies to mechanics
and the mechanics save a whole bunch of time
changing and replacing these bottom brackets
compared to a BB30 bottom bracket.
Staying with the Dura-Ace theme,
Landa is running Shimano's new Dura-Ace wheels.
He's on the C40 version of those.
So, they are the lighter,
although not by a huge amount, wheel set in the range,
which would suit a smaller rider like Landa
and also a rider who's priorities
are the general classification and the hillier stages.
The wheels are tubular and they are shod
with Continental Competition Pro ALX LTD tubular tyres
which are 25mm wide.
The one on the front actually looks brand new,
it hasn't even been ridden yet.
With most of the build covered,
let's have a look at a few of the finishing details.
One of the things I do quite like about the Dogma F10,
is just how neat the Shimano Dura-Ace junction box
integration is, up on the down tube.
I think that's pretty cool.
And at the front, the mechanics have used heat shrink wrap
just to keep the Di2 wires tidy
and keep them close to the brake levers
and to avoid any unnecessary damage.
Bottle cages on the bike are provided by Elite.
With all that covered,
it's time for some vital statistics.
Landa's tyres come in, according to our callipers,
around 24.7mm wide.
His saddle height is 70cm
and the reach from the nose of his saddle
to the centre of his stem is around 54cm.
His stem, like we mentioned earlier,
is very clearly marked, is 121mm
and his handlebars, quite narrow,
they are 40cm wide, centre to centre.
His cranks are 170mm long
and he's using 53/39 chainrings.
He's also running the Stages dual sided powermeter
on those cranks.
His cassette is quite an interesting one,
he's got an 11 through to 30 cassette.
So, that's a really wide range.
Definitely one that will help on the steep climbs
of the Giro d'Italia, where we're filming this pro bike.
With all of that done,
just time for the free hub sound check.
Subtle, it's quite quiet.
