At their winter training camp in Mallorca, Nicholas Roche has been trying out the Pinarello Dogma F8 bike.
Using aerodynamic truncated aerofoil-shaped tubes, the bike, part of which was designed by Jaguar engineers in Coventry, has already been used by team-mate Chris Froome last season and features Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic transmission, Shimano Dura-Ace C50 wheels and Veloflex tubulars, Shimano's Pro bars and stem, a fizik's saddle, a Stages power metre and a Garmin computer.
Roche will make his Team Sky debut in the Ruta del Sol in Spain in February.
