A close-up look at the Giro d'Italia winner's bike


Jai Hindley emerged victorious this year from a cagey and interesting edition of the Giro d'Italia. In the end, his winning margin was just over one minute ahead of Richard Carapaz from the Ineos Grenadiers. Hindley made his decisive move on the penultimate stage of the race, launching a stinging attack up the Passo Fedaia which left Carapaz unable to respond. We got a closer look the custom S-Works Tarmac made for the Australian following his GC win.

Jai Hindley's pink Giro d'Italia bike

Hindley didn't actually race on his pink S-Works road bike as the final stage of the race was an individual time trial around the streets of Verona. Still, Specialized provided him with his maglia rosa whip to roll around on as he basked in glory once the race was over. Sprayed black at the front and fading in to the classic Giro pink, the bike stands out but remains understated and classy.
