New bike day is always fun, but when you’re a top pro (or World Champ), your build is usually a little more elaborate than most. Heading into the 2016 race season, Specialized is starting to unveil their newest team bikes and they are kicking off the new year with two amazing rides for Team Tinkoff.
One S-Works Venge Vias for Peter Sagan, and one S-Works Tarmac for Michael Rogers, both completely drool worthy…
As you might expect, being the World Champs has its perks. Like ridiculous custom painted bikes. Sagan is sure to draw even more attention to himself with this sparkly, rainbow camo Venge Vias. The bike also has plenty of Peter Sagan touches throughout, right down to the Look Keo Blade 2 pedals.
Running a Shimano Dura Ace Di2 drivetrain, Specialized Roval CLX64 wheels, and a plethora of S-Works components, this is how you make a Venge Vias even more eye catching.

Michael Rogers’ S-Works Tarmac is a bit less flamboyant, but stills stands out thanks to the neon colors and top shelf build.
Without the S-Works cockpit of the Venge Vias, the Tarmac sees more FSA components along with the Tacx bottle cages and K-Edge chain catcher found on other team bikes as well.
