The new women\u2019s world champion Elisa Balsamo has a new bike to go with her win. Riding for Italian team Valcar\u2013Travel & Service, she\u2019s on the team\u2019s Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod Disc<\/a>, but now gets a special custom paint job to match her status.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since her win at the UCI Road World Championships in Flanders<\/a>, she\u2019s been out and about training with her team in Northern France for the last couple of days in preparation for the inaugural women\u2019s Paris-Roubaix. This is the bike she\u2019ll ride at the historic race.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her team issue bike is a size 51cm and comes equipped with Shimano Ultegra R8070 Di2<\/a>. This is paired with an FSA Powerbox power meter<\/a> crankset, which is fitted with 52\/36t chainrings. This is paired with an 11-30t cassette out back.<\/span><\/p>\n

FSA provides her wheelset too, with Balsamo opting for Vision Metron 40 wheels, which are fitted with 28mm-wide Veloflex ProTour tyres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cannondale SuperSix Evo comes with its own Cannondale Hollowgram SAVE carbon bar\/stem combo, which Balsamo runs in 380mm width and 100mm stem length.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her finishing kit comprises a Prologo NDR saddle, Look for her pedals and Elite for her bottles and bottle cages<\/a>. She runs a Garmin Edge 830<\/a> computer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Compared to the usual the-best-of-everything-my-sponsor\u2019s-paying specs we\u2019re used to seeing for pro bikes, Balsamo runs quite a modest set-up, showing that you don\u2019t need the best of everything to win big.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time 23-year-old Balsamo has worn the rainbow stripes either \u2013 she was junior world champion back in 2016. <\/span><\/p>\n
