Pro Bike: Cannondale – Drapac’s discs

Jan 10, 2017

Discs are legal again, but don't expect to see every team on them (or even any teams on them) when the WorldTour starts up next week. This is Pierre Rolland's disc SuperSix, which was built up with race wheels at a recent team camp but won't see race action for some time. Cannondale-Drapac will use the disc bikes this season at some races, though the full calendar isn’t known. The team will use discs team-wide for the first time this season at Ruta del Sol and then Strade Bianche. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Rolland will tackle the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France this year. Will he do so on discs? That much isn't yet certain. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com

Rolland likes Fizik's heavily padded Arione TT.
