Jay McCarthy followed his Tinkoff teammate Peter Sagan to Bora-Hansgrohe following the team’s demise at the end of the 2016 season.

Gallery: Tiago Machado’s Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 10 clever hacks used by World Tour race mechanics Tour Down Under 2017 news and bike galleries Peter Sagan alone brought enough WorldTour points to the Pro Continental outfit to confirm WorldTour status for the German team in 2017, but the world champion commands a high price and it is rumoured Specialized contributed to the costs of bringing the Slovakian to the team.

While Peter Sagan has a range of custom painted Specialized framesets to choose from, Jay McCarthy rides on the team issue S-Works Tarmac.

Although the team frames aren’t as eye catching as Peter Sagan’s unique designs, the predominantly black frames could be considered one of the classier designs in the WorldTour peloton.

Turquoise pinstripe detailing on the frame’s tubing and forks is complemented with metallic fleck in the black paint and contrasts with the bold white decals.

The Australian rides a compact 52cm frame that is paired with a 106mm stem and 400mm handlebars, both supplied by PRO components — as is the seat post.
