Immediately following his Olympic Games victory last August, Van Avermaet was given an all-gold paint job for his bike. However, this season he has been riding a Teammachine with the standard red look, plus a few golden extras.

For the Classics, BMC has given him a new chrome colorway finish, with what the team refers to as ‘advanced surface treatment.’ Van Avermaet rides a 54 frame size and has opted for the Antares Fizik saddle.

The SLR01 is completed with 3T finishing kit, Shimano wheels, Vittoria tyres and the Shimano Dura Ace Di2 groupset and Dura Ace pedals.
