Remco Evenepoel, Rémi Cavagna, and Kasper Asgreen don’t wear the same jersey at the 2021 World Time Trial Championship in Belgium (raced by national teams), but for the rest of the season, they belong to the Deceuninck-Quick Step team. They therefore use the same bike, a Specialized S-Works Shiv TT Disc, which we detail for you here.

The Specialized S-Works Shiv TT Disc is shown here in its UCI-approved version (unlike the triathlon version).Remco Evenepoel is one of the big favorites for the 2021 World TT Championship title.Evenepoel rides TTs with 56 and 44 tooth chainrings. But Cavagna and Asgreen use 58 and 46 tooth chainrings, with an 11-tooth start cassette.The Tacx bottle is also designed to limit aerodynamic drag.The extensions here are custom-made.The Wahoo bike computer mount allows the rider to manage their effort during the event.Rémi Cavagna uses a Shimano FC-9100-P power meter.The Frenchman is capable of a great performance.The Shiv TT features a unique rear triangle, with plenty of space between the seat tube and the rear wheel.Deceuninck-Quick Step team riders now ride with Specialized Turbo Cotton tires as often as possible.Rémi Cavagna’s Specialized Sitero saddle is covered here with an adhesive to limit slipping during effort.Kasper Asgreen benefits from a bike with a personalized decoration, as he is the Danish TT champion. His extensions are also custom-made.Winner of the Tour of Flanders in 2021, the Dane is also an excellent rouleur, cited among the outsiders for the World TT Championship.The Shiv TT is equipped with disc brakes, with only a 140 mm rotor at the front.The disc wheel passes very close to the caliper.
