The Ridley Dean used by the Team, is the model already known for some time on the market and used it last year, the team Katusha. The frame is a monocoque high modulus carbon, while the fork is a Dean's R-Flow 4ZA monocoque with the aerodynamic profile of the stems. The frame tubes are a much studied aerodynamic profile and the particular surface finish paint allows for a 4% reduction in the strength of play. All well-sized tubes, aerodynamic profile. The cable routing is internal, while the brakes, always to improve aerodynamics, are behind the fork and under the rear wheel. The brakes are Tektro, as well as its brake levers. The bike is then assembled with the SRAM Red group, which is used to the controls, the front derailleur and the rear of the sprocket and chain. The Rotor crank is, some athletes use oval crowns, while others also use the SRM power detector. The pedals are Look Keo Carbon Blade, while the wheels are Fast Forward complemented by Vredestein tubulars. Remains a very accurate and a good bike.
