I can\u2019t wait to start collaborating with Arkea-Samsic, because they are a team who share our own singular focus \u2013 dedicating everything to achieving great things. With Warren Barguil, Nairo Quintana and Nacer Bouhanni, we\u2019ve got a talented line-up for the coming season who will be bringing a huge depth of talent, experience, and leadership to the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to pro sports, Canyon\u2019s ethos is to provide the best riders with the best equipment. It\u2019s a strategy that pays off with consistent success at every level of the sport \u2013 from cyclocross to Classics and Grand Tours. And now, Warren Barguil and his teammates will be primed for victory with a new range of world-class equipment at their disposal. The Ultimate is an outstanding climber in the mountains, the Aeroad is as aero as they come on fast stages, and the Speedmax time trial bike has proven its racing credentials time and time again.<\/p>\n
