Cannondale Bike Specs - Paris-Roubaix

Trimarni

 

When Karel was selecting what type of  Cannondale bike he would be renting from the EF Coaching Team, he wanted his bike to be as close to the professional riders as possible. In other words, Karel wanted to experience the Roubaix cobble sectors with a true race bike to get a better appreciation of what the professional riders experience at Paris Roubaix. 



Karel is riding: 
  • Cannondale Super Six Evo Lab71 EF Pro team bike (it's Rigoberto Urán "spare" bike)
  • Groupset Shimano Dura-Ace 12sp
  • Cranks FSA SL-K
  • Vision wheels and cokpit
  • Gearing 54/50 front and 11-34 rear
  • Prologo saddle and tape 
  • Vitoria Corsa pro control tires 30mm mounted on 50mm deep carbon vision rims. Mounted with tubes. 
  • Pressure: 45 psi rear, 42 psi front. 
Karel really likes the feel of the bike. Today he rode 30 miles and although it was another cold and wet day, he felt much more confident on the cobbles. 






As part of the camp, the team mechanics wash and service the bikes every day. This is a true treat for Karel who always takes care of our bikes. He loves that the bike is like brand new every morning. 

Bottles are made with a mix of your choice (Amacx Sport Nutrition). Karel starts with 80g carbs and another of 40g carbs. On race day (tomorrow) he will start with 2 x 80g carb bottles. There will be aid stations along the course and the EF Coaching team soigneurs will be at 2 additional places on the course, handing out bottles....just like the pros. 

Karel is enjoying trying out the different sport nutrition products (ex. bars, gels, chews, drinks). 

At the end of every ride, he immediately receives a recovery nutrition bottle from the EF coaching staff. Then the mechanic takes the bike, he gets his rainbag back from the car, he goes to shower and then he gives his dirty clothes to the team staff. Talk about professional service! 

Tomorrow is the Paris Roubaix Challenge. Karel will be racing all of the cobbled sectors for 170km in his new EF Team jersey.


The race starts between 7-7:45am (self seeded) and over 6000 cyclists are set to participate in one of the three distances.
