Marianne Vos (Rabo Liv) returned to the Aviva Women's Tour, and brought with her a striking special-edition version of the Liv Envie Advanced decorated with the gold of a multiple world champion.
Vos was the winner of the inaugural Women's Tour, and is back riding again after a leave of absence to rest and recuperate. While she did make an appearance at the 2015 Tour, it was on the other side of the microphone as expert commentator. Going by the homemade signs and cheers along the route, many people were happy to see her back racing on British roads.

Liv's Envie Advanced is an aero bike with Liv's female-specific geometry, and Vos' ride, as you'd expect, includes a few extras. If you fancy a retail version of this bike, expect to fork out in the region of £5,000 / $8,000, though you won't be able to get it in the black and gold the multiple world champion has her bike bedecked in.
The Envie's aero-optimised frame features Liv/Giant's AeroSystem Shaping Technology, and a cutout section on the seat tube that allows the rear wheel to sit almost flush with the frame.
