WvA on his Cervelo and GvA on his BMC. Wonder how the trade team dynamics will influence the racing. https://www.instagram.com/stories/woutvanaert/2622446320990552871/ All the riders ride their own team bikes though, Like with SA Nic is on his BMC, Stefan on his Willier and Gibbo on his Colnago.

Correct and they have a spare that will be loaded on the car. Team mecchie has been a busy bee getting their bikes set up for the weekend. Strained his thumb moving luggage around but I'm available to fly at a moments notice should a new pair of thumbs be needed Scary Rider and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
