Julian Alaphilippe on a Specialized Aethos

Specialized has prepared a custom version of its Aethos S-Works for world champion Julian Alaphilippe, which he uses at least for training around his home in Andorra in the Pyrenean passes. More flexible, more comfortable and lighter than the Tarmac S-Works that the Deceuninck – Quick Step team riders use in races, the Aethos had already been chosen by Kasper Asgreen on certain stages of the Tour de France. A closer look at the Frenchman’s bike, which in this version must be below the UCI weight limit of 6.8 kg.
