German direct-sale giant Canyon will supply both Katusha-Alpecin and Movistar Team in 2019, with the latter riding on a mix of Aeroad CF SLX and Ultimate CF SLX framesets built with groupsets from Campagnolo.
In the run up to the 2019 Tour Down Under, we took a closer look at the build on Rafael Valls' Ultimate CF SLX, who is into his second season with Movistar Team.

Valls’ bike is built around Campagnolo’s as yet unreleased EPS version of its 12-speed generation Super Record groupset. Bahrain-Merida and Lotto-Soudal are also running the new groupset.
Campagnolo also supplies its Bora Ultra wheels and the crankset is fitted with a Power2Max power meter.
The bike is built with Canyon’s own finishing kit, including its one-piece H36 Aerocockpit.
