Canyon has presented Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) with a custom-painted Canyon Ultimate CF SLX to celebrate the Spaniard's world championship road race victory.
The design celebrates the rainbow jersey, which Valverde will wear for the remainder of this season and into 2019.
Gold trim also runs along the top tube of the Canyon.
Alongside the frameset, special rainbow decals finish the Campagnolo Bora Ultra wheels and Power2Max power meter unit on Valverde's crankset.
Elite has also provided special edition bottle cages, which are white with gold detailing to celebrate the gold medal from the World Championships in Innsbruck.
German bike manufacturer Canyon has been providing framesets to the top tier of cycling since 2007 and says the bike has achieved over 200 victories since its first victory.
Valverde will race the bike during the final Monument of the season during Saturday's Il Lombardia — which you can watch live in the UK on Eurosport, live in the US on FlowBikes and live on the OTT platform via FuboTV in Canada.
