Alejandro Valverde goes full rainbow for Il Lombardia

  • Ron 

Alejandro Valverde will be flying his World Championship colors in many ways at this weekend’s Il Lombardia.

Adding to his rainbow-striped Endura jersey, first shown at last Sunday’s Movistar Bike Festival and on the podium of Milano-Torino on Wednesday, Valverde will also sport a freshly repainted Canyon Ultimate CF SLX sporting the five rainbow colors with gold accents, a Fizik Antares saddle with rainbow inserts on its sides, a pair of Campagnolo Bora Ultra 50 wheels adorned with Valverde’s new colours, and a new design for his Power2Max power meter with the rainbow bands. In alignment with the new image, the handlebar tape and end caps by Lizard Skins have also turned white, the color Valverde’s bike will be predominantly covered in.

Other new elements added to Valverde’s equipment for the race include a special version of the ABUS AirBreaker helmet in white, with the jersey’s five bands covering the sides. Elite has also prepared some white bottle cages, as well as a special casing for its Drivo hometrainer with the rainbow colours.
