The EPS sticker marks the location of the Campagnolo battery. Note the rubber clamp around this area on the first picture. By strapping magnets to the outside, this rubber clamp forces the system to remain off, preventing accidental battery drain(Image credit: Ben Delaney)

Back in May, Alex Dowsett set a world UCI Hour Record of 52.937km on a Canyon Speedmax WHR built specifically for the attempt. At the 2015 Tour de France, Dowsett is racing Canyon’s stock Speedmax CF frame with Team Movistar spec with Campagnolo EPS and a power2max power meter.
This is the same bike Dowsett used to win his fourth British national time trial title just before the Tour.
In the Tour’s opening time trial, Dowsett finished 13th.
In the team time trial on Sunday, Dowsett put his TT prowess to use for team leader Nairo Quintana, with Movistar finishing third, just four seconds behind BMC and three seconds behind Team Sky.
