Didier rode a 60cm frame equipped with a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9070 groupset. 175mm cranks were paired with 53-39 chainrings and equipped with a SRM power meter.
The colour coordinated build is a predominantly red design, with bold white decals and gumwall tyres.
Trek’s component brand Bontrager provided the stem, handlebars, handlebar tape, saddle, and the Aeolus 5 wheels were partnered with 25mm Veloflex Roubaix tubular tyres.
The Emonda features an integrated seat mast, which is cut to length and was completed with a Bontrager Ride Tuned carbon seat mast cap.
