Talansky rode impressively during stage 17, latching on with the break and climbing well. He caught Thibaut Pinot on the descent and tried to close the gap on eventual stage winner Simon Geschke, but came up just short. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews

A feathery Arundel carbon bottle cage is positioned lower on the seat tube than last year’s SuperSix Evo. This is said to improve air flow when two water bottles are present on the bike. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews
