The Canyon//SRAM team has been making waves since its 2016-season launch, with striking Rapha-designed kit and, naturally, top-line Canyon bikes. BikeRadar was at the five-stage 2016 Aviva Women's Tour, now part of the inaugural UCI Women's WorldTour, and took a closer look at team member Barbara Guarischi's ride.

Italian racer Guarischi, who returned in April after recovering from surgery on her shoulder, took a notable win this season at the second stage of Omloop Borsele, fighting back from a mechanical that put her at the rear of the peloton before pushing hard through the riders and on into first place. Her other achievements include a Stage 1 win at the Giro d'Italia Femminile 2015, and victory at the 2015 RideLondon Grand Prix.

As you might expect, Guarischi's bike includes a full SRAM Red groupset with eTap wireless electronic shifting. Remote Blip buttons are placed on the underside of her handlebars to facilitate shifts when climbing.
On the Aeroad those bars form part of Canyon's Aerocockpit, an integrated one-piece 390mm-width bar and 100mm stem combination designed to reduce aerodynamic drag. Guarichi rides low and aggressive, with no spacers.
