Take a look at Tadej Pogačar’s tricked-out Colnago V4Rs
Pog’s Giro d’Italia bike is fitted with some cool carbon-fibre components and is decorated in pink to match his race leader’s jerseyOver a week in, Tadej Pogačar has a commanding lead in the 2024 Giro d’Italia, and here’s the Colnago V4Rs that he’s riding on the road stages, complete with some very cool components.
Colnago claims that the V4Rs will save the equivalent of 17.5 watts over the previous V3Rs at a speed of 50km/h and a rider cadence of 90rpm . “The highlight of the ride is that it isn't a handful to live with in the steering department, meaning that us mere mortals can push this bike hard through the bends and come out the other side with a grin on our faces,” said reviewer Stu Kerton.When it launched the V4Rs, Colnago said,“While being compatible with third-party components, V4Rs has been conceived to offer the best aerodynamic performance in combination with the Colnago CC.01 handlebar.
UAE Team Emirates moved from Campagnolo to Shimano last year, so Pogačar’s bike is fitted with a Dura-Ace Di2 groupset. Zoom in closely and we can see that he’s following the trend towards shorter cranks; these are 165mm.Those aren’t Shimano chainrings, though, they’re X-CarboRings from Carbon-Ti, an official UAE Team Emirates supplier from Italy. The central section is carbon fibre and the teeth are aluminium. Zoom in again and we can see that they’re 55/40T.
What are the chances of Pogačar riding this bike to victory in the Giro d’Italia? Most bookies currently have him at 1/12. In other words, you’d have to put down a £12 stake to win a quid . No other rider has odds lower than 18/1. That tells you about all you need to know.
