While Froome did not participate in the Tour Down Under, opting for a training block instead, his Sky teammates debuted the new Pinarello Dogma F10 at the WorldTour opener. The F10s were equipped with parts of the latest Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9150 groupsets, but due to a shortage of chainrings and wheelsets, the majority of the team used Dura-Ace 9070 cranks and 9000 series wheels.
At the Herald Sun Tour, Chris Froome’s Pinarello has the full 9150 groupset, Osymmetric chainrings and 9100 series wheels, making him the first rider to compete with the full complement of the new component group.
