After an unlucky 2016 season, Richie Porte returns to racing at the Tour Down Under with five months of rest under his belt. Porte’s last race was the Olympic road race in Rio, in which the Australian crashed with 35 kilometres to go and ruled himself out of the time trial. The WorldTour opener sees Porte in excellent shape, leading to a victory of stage two on the Paracombe climb in Adelaide.

Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 and R9150 Di2 groupsets: all you need to know Gallery: Ben Swift’s Colnago C60 Gallery: Caleb Ewan’s Scott Foil Porte rides a 48cm frame and the smaller sized components continue with 170mm Dura-Ace cranks and a 110mm 3T stem. The BMC team continues to use the Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 series groupsets, including shifting, brakes, pedals and wheels. It is likely we will see the team update to the latest Dura-Ace 9150 in the coming months. Whilst Porte opts for shorter cranks than standard, the BMC is equipped with a more common combination of 53-39 chainrings and an 11-28 cassette.

A compact cockpit consists of a 3T stem, 380mm wide handlebars and Corius Pro bar tape, and the Italian trend continues with a Fizik Arione saddle and 25mm Vittoria Corsa tubular tyres.
