Having spent the last four years winning races and stages with Orica-GreenEdge, 2016 marks the move of Australian Simon Clarke to the refreshed Cannondale Pro Cycling team.
Having won a stage in each of the three Grand Tours (two were team time trial wins), Clarke has done something few cyclists can claim. With a new team and more freedom, Clarke now has his sights set on the Spring Classics such as Milan-Sanremo and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, events he previously supported the likes of Simon Gerrans in.

With a new team comes a new bike, and Clarke has traded in his Scott Addict and Foil for Cannondale’s latest – the SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod. It’s a bike that’s far more similar to the low weight and smoother ride of his previous Scott Addict than the aero rocket that is the Foil.
Interestingly, there is a clear connection between the original Scott Addict and Cannondale’s SuperSix EVO, and that’s engineer Peter Denk. Although the renowned German has since moved on, his influence still shows in both companies' bikes.
