Last updated in 2024, it was the bike she used throughout her triumphant 2024 Tour de France Femmes. Elsewhere in the bunch, you may have seen it in the colours of Alpecin-Premier Tech, Fenix-Premier Tech and Movistar teams, who are also partnered with German brand Canyon.Photographer Xavier Pereyron was on the ground in Siena to photograph Niewiadoma-Phinneys lovely red Canyon Aeroad CFR before she headed out onto the gravel.
