CyclistPro bike: Demi Vollerings Euro-themed 2026 Specialized Tarmac SL8Since claiming the European Championships last autumn, FDJ United-Suezs Demi Vollering has swapped her usual team colours for the blue bands and stars of continental champion. To match, her Specialized Tarmac SL8 has received a suitable Euro makeover, with enough blue and yellow to make even Ursula von der Leyen smile.Vollering has been in fine form since pulling on the European colours, having picked up the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana and Omloop Nieuwsblad so far this year. However, the European Champion wasnt able to pick up a third Strade Bianche title due to a calamitous manoeuvre that saw the Dutchwomans group led off-course by a motorbike. Regardless, her teammate Elise Chabbey, a former Olympic kayaker, took the win for her FDJ United-Suez team and German Champion Franzi Koch took third. Ahead of Strade Bianche, photographer Xavier Pereyron managed to catch a glimpse of Vollerings Europop Specialized Tarmac SL8. Its douze points from us.
