Astana Pro Team and Argon 18 have presented Jakob Fuglsang with a custom-painted Gallium Pro frameset for the Tour de Suisse ahead of the Dane’s general classification attempt at the Tour de France.

How to watch the Tour de Suisse 2018 on TV Cyclingnews Films: Crescendo — now available Designed by Argon 18 and painted by Colourburn Studio, the frameset features multiple fades of red, black, silver and the blue of the Astana team. Argon 18 has dubbed the custom bike as the Tricolor Gallium Pro ParticuleR.

Astana says the design concept represents Fuglsang’s past, present and future, as well as “showcasing a dynamic of Fuglsang’s racing”.

The front view of the bike appears to show a completely red bike, representing the national colours of Fuglsang’s native Denmark, while the Argon 18 decals on the down tube are in the iconic colours of Astana.
