After hints of a new bike approved by the UCI for the pro peloton for AG2R La Mondiale this year, we were looking forward to checking out the new Factor One in Abu Dhabi.

Most striking perhaps is the Twin Evo Split Downtube, which we saw on the Slick TT bike last year, claiming to improve aerodynamics and overall stiffness of the bike.
