CyclistPro bike: World Champion Magdeleine Vallieress new Cannondale SuperSix from Strade Bianche 2026When Canadian Magdeleine Vallieres won the World Championships Road Race in Rwanda at the end of 2025, it was a shock to most people. She wasnt one of the pre-race favourites, and shed spent most of her young career riding in service of her EF teammates. While weve come to expect the rainbow jersey to be confirmation of a riders quality, Vallieres win was a sign of things to come.That was confirmed at Strade Bianche last weekend when the 24-year-old battled at the front of the race to finish fifth after a very strong performance on the Tuscan gravel.She was riding her new Cannondale SuperSix Evo, of course decked out in an excellent rainbow stripe paintjob but with plenty of extra detail hiding in plain sight. We sent photographer Xavier Pereyron to get a closer look.
