Jack Bobridge’s Project One Trek Madone

http://ift.tt/23iAEy1

Just 12 months ago, Australian Jack Bobridge was riding laps of a Melbourne velodrome attempting to take the world hour record. He fell just short (by an agonisingly close 550m) of the then record of 51.852km – not quite what the once U23 time-trial world champion was looking for.

Fast-forward to now, and the 26-year-old is once again proudly wearing the national colours on his fresh Trek-Segafredo team road jersey. The gold and green stripes come after an impressive 90km solo attack at the Australian National road championships from earlier in the month. Such a win is proof that Jack is very much back and now has his sights set on a return to the track for the Rio Olympics.

As a breakaway specialist, Bobridge is at the Tour Down Under on Trek’s recently released aero superbike – the Madone. More specifically, it’s the Madone Race Shop Limited with Project One paint.

Compared with the Madone 9.9 you may find in a store, the Race Shop Limited offers a lower ‘H1’ head tube and 700-series carbon. Additionally, it’s made in Trek’s own Waterloo, Wisconsin carbon factory.
