Bauke Mollema has matured into a solid GC contender for the Grand Tours. We took a look at his bike at the Tour of the Basque Country, where he showed great form before later crashing out.

Mollema's bike is fully specced out with Bontrager finishing kit. On this day, he was using Bontrager's Aeolus 5 wheels. Shifting and braking is provided by Shimano, with the ever reliable Dura Ace Di2 throughout.

This bike is so light that Mollema's mechanics actually had to weigh it down - check out the weights in the bottom bracket.
