This 12 months, Canadian champ Alison Jackson comes into the race as defending champion, and has a particular Canadian version Cannondale SuperSix Evo to tame the cobbles this 12 months.
It’s a comparatively inventory construct, although it does characteristic some recent new ‘sticklebrick’ bar tape that we first noticed at Opening Weekend, designed to work with an identical set of mitts from Prologo, wrapped all the best way to the stem to supply grip in as many hand positions as attainable.
As nicely as being well-known for conquering the cobbles, Jackson can also be equally well-known for her unbelievable dance strikes that adopted her topping the rostrum. It would not be a customized bike with out a private contact on the highest tube, would it not?
