Five-time British time trial champion Alex Dowsett announced his move to Katusha-Alpecin for the 2018 season back in August. After five years with Movistar , Dowsett will look to play a role in the lead-out for Marcel Kittel as well as targeting his own time trialling ambitions.

Sonny Colbrelli’s 2018 Merida Reacto gallery Alex Dowsett’s time trialling tips and advice While Dowsett’s team, kit and components have all changed, the British rider will stay aboard Canyon bikes in 2018. It is understood Dowsett has a close working relationship in terms of research and development with the German brand, which also produced a one-off Hour Record bike for the Brit in 2015.

At a recent training camp in Mallorca, wetook a closer look at the bike Dowsett will use against the clock in 2018.

While Dowsett has had his time trial position dialled on the Canyon Speedmax for some time, the biggest change will be moving from Movistar’s Campagnolo components and wheels to a combination of SRAM and Zipp components.
