Whilst at the Tour Down Under Jon got his grubby little hands on the Factor One race bike of German sprinter Andre Greipel. Greipel and his Israel Start Up Nation team have the option to choose Factor’s aero bike for fast and flat stages, and Andre is using a huge chainring as he hunts for sprint success in Australia.
