If you look at the WTS Course preview video at around 17:45, you'll get a (very) quick peek of the bike in action Start a bit earlier to see Corkscrew Hill.

Does ITU stipulate that you can't run a 1x? Or simply a case of sponsors and shimano not offering such an advertised option.

That is a great looking bike

Awesome bike. I'm not one for pink but for that beauty I'd make an exception. The mother of pearl detailing is amazing.

Interesting she’s on old, bulky di2/hydro levers and not the sleek new Dura-Ace models.

Both male and female athletes have been running the shorty aerobars in ITU consistently for years now! Obviously it depends on the race but they're certainly not that rare!

I was also wondering about the dorky old Shimano R785 shifters though... maybe something to do with hood shape and hand comfort?
