Lizzie Armitstead's World Champion Specialized S-Works Amira
In September, Lizzie Armitstead won her first World Road Title to top off what had been an incredible season. Boels Dolmans bike sponsor, Specialized, have made her a rather special bike to celebrate the rainbow bands, which Dan took a look at down in Nice.

With both Peter Sagan and Lizzie Armitstead winning their respective World Road Titles in Richmond this year, Specialized could easily have come up with a similar design of bike for both. On the contrary though, Lizzie's bike, which Dan looks at in this video, is very different to the one that Sagan was using in Abu Dhabi.

Illegal Super Bike | So Fast It Was Banned!
Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
