Pro — Cervelo ushered Velocio-SRAM to victory during the team time trial. SRAM and Zipp components adorn the P5 throughout.

Pro — Brennauer opts for Magura hydraulic rim brakes to ensure pinpoint braking power while maintaining high speeds mere inches from her teammates’ wheels.

Pro — SRAM’s wireless eTap system relies on this controller to connect the various Blips, or wired shifting controls.

Pro — Blips are mounted on the ends of Brennauer’s extensions. The blips control the front and rear shifting on SRAM’s wireless eTap system.

Pro — Another Blip is tucked behind the brake lever on the wings of Brennauer’s bars.

Pro — The hydraulic piston on the Magura RT8 front brake creates a tall profile that blends well with the head tube.

Pro — Minimalist padding and an aggressively inward position gets Brennauer as aero as possible. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — Creativity is key when mounting Blips without bar tape to hold them in place. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — Zipp’s deep profile 808 rims offer plenty of aerodynamic advantage without jostling steering too much. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — Brennauer pushes a 55-tooth big ring along with what appears to be a waxed chain to keep grit and grime at bay. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — SRAM’s eTap rear derailleur has a battery mounted to the rear. The battery is interchangeable with the front derailleur battery. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — A secret no longer, SRAM’s eTap shifting is branded with the Red moniker. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — A Quarq power meter mated to a SRAM Red crank tracks power numbers for later evaluation. Brannauer opts for Speedplay pedals, presumably for plenty of float in the pedal stroke. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — Off the bike, data points drive training and growth. On the bike, a simple three data-point screen is all Brennauer needs. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — A big bottom bracket area meets a stout down tube for as much power transfer as possible. It’s probably not the most gentle ride, though. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews

Pro — Turbo Cotton tires from Specialized are the rubber of choice for Brennauer in Richmond. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews
