Wout van Aert began a three-year, full-time road contract with Team Jumbo-Visma at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad before finishing third at Strade Bianche last weekend.
The three-time cyclo-cross world champion is racing his 2019 Classics season aboard the semi-aero Bianchi Oltre XR4. Jumbo-Visma are one of a number of teams to run Shimano components, with the team's selection extending to drivetrain, shifting, brakes, pedals, wheels and even shoes.
The iconic celeste blue of Bianchi adorns the frameset and handlebar tape, while van Aert's Fizik saddle also features flashes of celeste.

The Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 series wheels are paired with Vittoria tubulars and will vary in width and compound throughout the specific races during the Classics.
Like a number of WorldTour pro riders, van Aert runs a traditional 53/39 chainring combination with an 11-30 cassette option.
