Lotto-Belisol have a new Ridley time trial bike ready for the 2013 Tour de France. Just sneaking past the UCI measurements before the Grand Depart, the Ridley Dean Fast sure does look it.
Jurgen Roelandts's Dean is equipped with Campagnolo Record EPS throughout, with shifters on both the outer brake levers and the aero extensions. He as Look Keo Aero Blade pedals, Campagnolo Bora Ultra wheels, and runs 54-42 chainrings. To pass the UCI measurements, he uses Selle San Marco Concor Sprint saddle, which is slightly shorter than standard. This ensures that he sits no more that 5cm behind the bottom bracket.
