Sonny Colbrelli was first seen race testing the third incarnation of the Merida Reacto at the Criterium du Dauphine in June, before the 2018 version of the bike was launched officially ahead of the Tour de France .

The all-new Specialized Women’s S-Works Tarmac is a bike with speed at its heart Greg Van Avermaet’s 2018 BMC Teammachine SLR01 Disc gallery The aero frame sees updates to improve comfort and aerodynamics while reducing weight.

Bahrain-Merida raced on dark blue versions of the bike this season following the launch earlier in the year, but ahead of the 2018 season the team opted for a black design while retaining the distinctive gold and red detailing of the team.

Gold detailing of the bike continues with the SRM PC-8 headunit that pairs with the SRM Origin crankset. Colbrelli runs 172.5mm cranks and 53/39 Dura-Ace 9000 series chainrings.
