Here it is: the bike that could take more victories than any other at the 2016 Tour de France, team Dimension Data sprinter Mark Cavendish's Cervélo S5.
The rider from the Isle of Man will be riding on a Cervélo S5 that will be kitted out with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 (with junction box placed under the saddle), a 53-39 chainset, an SRM power meter and a KMC black and green chain.
However, the pictures you see here are Cav's spare bike, which still has Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, but uses Rotor's NoQ chainrings (53-38) and Rotor's new 2INpower power meter.

The sprint shifters that feature on this S5 are positioned very high on the inside of the bars - and actually upside down - and it seems easier to get to them from the hoods than from the drops.

Cav opts for a set of Enve wheels with very deep 70mm rims and DT Swiss 240 hubs. Enve also provides also a 12mm stem and its Garmin mount, the bars are Pro aluminium (with the logo covered with black tape) and there's a Tacx bottle cage.

Finally, Cav uses are Speedplay pedals, a Rotor chain guard and a Fizik Arione saddle.
