Rui Costa of Lampre-Merida chooses to race on the aerodynamic Reacto Team over the lighter Scultura that the team also have at their disposal. Lampre, unusually, run a combination of Shimano Dura Ace Di2, Rotor cranks and Fulcrum (whose parent company is Campagnolo). Tyres are supplied by Campagnolo, saddles by Prologo and handlebars and stem are by FSA.

It's the aero shapes that really mark this bike out; especially at a time when overall riders, like Costa are tending towards lightweight climbing bikes.
