Wout van Aert's Cervelo S5 Team Bike

Some more bike video for nerds - this time we've got Team Visma | Lease A Bike's Cervelo S5 of Wout van Aert. Note the Garmin headlight and tail light mounted for training, the Prologo saddle, and the SRAM Red Etap AXS 54/41 chainrings on the gruppo. Wheels are by Reserve - their 42|49 Turbulent Aero deep dish carbon wheels - billed for all day riding.

damn- that's quite a nice paint design on it; we have wasps around here with that same kind of design pattern- a futuristic blend of tech and nature, form as function, that rear derailleur looked mean, like a terminator's arm; a HR Giger nightmare....I like it.

For my Cervelo S5 I made a stronger steerer tube insert as uphill the standard one couldn't handle the uplift forces required to push my self made single 81 tooth chainring. Also put a bracket on the rear axle to lock it in preventing it from dropping out. A few other modifications as well to Di2 derailleur etc.
At 75yo can't change my bad habits.

Nice video. Maybe next time you can get the stem and crank length for us fit aficionados

That seat post clamp could've used cleaning up in the newest iteration. PITA for owners, and even the pros can't seem to keep it flush with the frame. The design also lets in a lot of grit on wet rides.

That bike is probably 17 pounds or something :D I have an Ultegra build which is close to 18. Looks good, heavy as a pig
