"It was a nice ride, and I was enthusiastic about officially wearing my new kit. The heritage of this team is incredible; it's been around since 2003.

Now I, too, want to contribute and feel like this jersey I'm wearing is even more my own."

Unique to the race this year was the much-feared cobbled stage 5 which saw Nibali create massive time gaps over his rivals due in large part to his S-Works Roubaix SL4. With its class-leading vertical compliance and overall stiffness thanks to the Zertz inserts and CG-R seatpost, the Roubaix carried Vincenzo over the cobbles in one piece, further proving that smoother truly is faster.
