Long days in the saddle can take their toll on the riders of the peloton, so it’s no surprise the mechanics go to some length to try and keep the riders comfortable. At the Vuelta, Jon spotted special Di2 shifters, hi-tec seatposts and odd shaped saddles, amongst loads of other tech.

Keep your eyes peeled for both lightweight and aero tech features coming from the Vuelta! If you enjoyed this video, make sure to give it a thumbs up and share it with your friends. 👍
