What bike was Sagan riding in Gent Wevelgem?

It's not a supersix evo. Looks a bit like a CAAD10 in some respects (e.g. junction of downtube and headtube), but the top tube slopes more, the seatstays are different and the rear brake is internally routed. Also note the profiled seat tube in front of the rear wheel.. Is it a custom alu job just for him?

Not a Caad and not aluminium - looks like a prototype0

This has been a big issue with my mate who’s a big fan of both Cannondale bikes and the Cannondale Team. He posted on the team's facebook page asking what it was and the post was removed. He then posted it again and it was removed. Then another guy posted the same question and it was removed. Rumour on the street is that that's a badged up Legend...0

Hmmm interesting.
Do Cannondales represent good value for money? Was looking at a few brands at around the £2k mark and they do have decent specs.Scott Speedster S20 Roadie for Speed
Specialized Hardrock MTB for Lumps
Specialized Langster SS for Ease
Cinelli Mash Bolt Fixed for Pain

Very likely that bike has been handbuilt by the likes of Marco Bertoletti - this is nothing new, obviously for marketing purposes they have to be branded with the team sponsoring bike company.0

It's not as if no-one was likely to notice however, what with sagan having the profile he does. Maybe he wasn't supposed to win..

Generally yes. The CAAD10 has a cult following and the supersix evo is one of the best bikes out there for weight/performance balance (if you want something really light). The standard supersix is good too I think.0 -

thanks, initially I wasn't even considering Cannondales in my shortlist but having seen them they do look tasty and the supersix is a smashing bike. I may have found my winner.Scott Speedster S20 Roadie for Speed

It would have to be a very very good bike to be better than a top quality cannondaleI'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0

Having been there and frozen my fingers off, I suspect his bike was centrally heated 0

I'm not sure about that colour though...I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0
