Taylor Phinney will line up at the Tour of California this weekend in a domestique role for EF Education First team leaders Rigoberto Uran and Tejay van Garderen. Phinney will have the choice of racing aboard the lightweight Cannondale SuperSix or the aero-focused Cannondale SystemSix, photographed here at the Tour Colombia 2.1 race earlier this season.
The 1.97-metre tall American rides a size 60 frameset, 175mm cranks and a 150mm, negative 17-degree stem. Speaking to Cyclingnews at the Tour Colombia 2.1, Education First mechanics explained the team run 26mm Vittoria tubulars when racing on the SystemSix and 25mm Vittoria tubulars on the SuperSix.
Education First were the last WorldTour team to unveil their 2019 team jerseys on the eve of the Tour Down Under in January. The team have complemented their team kit with the same ‘oil stain’ design wrapped around black Cannondale framesets and clear-lacquered. White Cannondale decals contrast against the black, pink and blue design.
