The 2017 Tour Down Under is about to get underway and with the teams still arriving, mechanics are frantically prepping bikes for the race. We have been wandering the pits for the past day and have spotted a few interesting bits of tech.

Peter Sagan's Venge ViAS Disc
Since arriving in Australia, Peter Sagan has been spotted test riding a custom Venge ViAS Disc. We weren’t able to confirm whether or not he’ll be lining up at any stages in Adelaide aboard the disc roadie, but we did see him ride it on today’s Bora-Hansgrohe team training ride.

It’s not a lightweight at 8.46kg by our scales, but even his Venge ViAS with standard calliper brakes weighs 8.01kg.
All the cables are hidden inside the frame and the flat mount disc brakes utilise a 160mm rotor at the front and a 140mm rotor at the rear.
