Colombian rider Rigoberto Urán joined the Cannondale-Drapac team in 2016 after stints at Omega Pharma-Quick Step and Team Sky. In that time, the all-round rider has won stages at the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia. Urán recently signed a three-year extension with Cannondale-Drapac and so will continue to roll on bright green bikes, and we've taken a look at the Cannondale SuperSix EVO he rode at this year's Colorado Classic.
At 1.73m tall, Urán uses a 50cm Cannondale SuperSix EVO, which looks positively tiny lined up next to the 60cm race machines of his Cannondale-Drapac teammates Taylor Phinney and Hugh Carthy, with their ultra-long, ultra-low stems.

Urán's set up is relatively pedestrian, consisting of a 120mm alloy stem holding 40cm wide alloy handlebars. Both front and rear Mavic Cosmic Ultimate wheels are quick release and slowed by rim brakes, not disc brakes.
The 40mm deep tubular wheels are absolutely overflowing with carbon on the rims, hubs and bladed spokes. The tubular tires are Mavic's own as well, pairing perfectly with the rim width at 25mm for seamless aerodynamics.
The drivetrain is Shimano's finest offering, made up of Dura-Ace Di2 9150 derailleurs and 170mm Cannondale Hollowgram SiSL2 cranks with an integrated SRM powermeter. The rings are 53/38t.
