This is how you can win Rigoberto Urán's Tour de France 2020 bike
Want to own a very special Cannondale SystemSix?
Have you ever wanted a pro level bike that has ridden 3,000-plus kilometres in the Tour de France?
Well, now you have a chance to win Rigoberto Urán's Cannondale SystemSix that he rode to eighths place in the general classification.
You are able to enter a sweepstake to try and win the bike, starting from December 1 and finishing on December 31, available in United States, Canada (excluding Quebec), Austria, France, Germany, Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. To enter the competition for free, click here.
The competition is in celebration of what was one of the closest Tours de France we've had in years - in such a bizarre and unpleasant year, the Grand Tours really brought some joy to our screens.

The bike is straight from the Champs-Élysées complete with signed race number still fixed to the bike, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2g groupset, Vision Metron 55 race wheels plus a Hollowgram crankset with a Power2max power meter included.
It is built to Urán's exact measurements but is a 51cm frame and a unique, one-of-a-kind, bike of one of the most popular riders in the WorldTour peloton.

The Colombian climber, affectionately nicknamed Mick Jagger, has been one of the leading Grand Tour riders of his generation with three Grand Tour podiums - two at the Giro d'Italia and one at the Tour de France.
He has been a professional rider since 2007 and has raced for five teams including Team Sky, Quick-Step and his current team, EF Pro Cycling in a very successful career.
Taking nine career victories so far, he isn't a prolific winner, but the Colombian is a very classy rider with wins at the Tour, the Giro, Tour de Suisse and the Deine Deutschland Tour among others.
The Colombian announced in mid November that he will be renewing his contract with EF Pro Cycling to 2022 and that he hopes to target the Vuelta a España, as it is the only Grand Tour he has not managed to reach to podium.

Hi, I'm one of Cycling Weekly's content writers for the web team responsible for writing stories on racing, tech, updating evergreen pages as well as the weekly email newsletter. Proud Yorkshireman from the UK's answer to Flanders, Calderdale, go check out the cobbled climbs!
I started watching cycling back in 2010, before all the hype around London 2012 and Bradley Wiggins at the Tour de France. In fact, it was Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck's battle in the fog up the Tourmalet on stage 17 of the Tour de France.
It took me a few more years to get into the journalism side of things, but I had a good idea I wanted to get into cycling journalism by the end of year nine at school and started doing voluntary work soon after. This got me a chance to go to the London Six Days, Tour de Yorkshire and the Tour of Britain to name a few before eventually joining Eurosport's online team while I was at uni, where I studied journalism. Eurosport gave me the opportunity to work at the world championships in Harrogate back in the awful weather.
After various bar jobs, I managed to get my way into Cycling Weekly in late February of 2020 where I mostly write about racing and everything around that as it's what I specialise in but don't be surprised to see my name on other news stories.
When not writing stories for the site, I don't really switch off my cycling side as I watch every race that is televised as well as being a rider myself and a regular user of the game Pro Cycling Manager. Maybe too regular.
My bike is a well used Specialized Tarmac SL4 when out on my local roads back in West Yorkshire as well as in northern Hampshire with the hills and mountains being my preferred terrain.
