While Monaco plays host to plenty of professional cyclists, thanks to a pleasant climate, easy access to some excellent climbs, and a relatively light-touch tax regime, it doesn’t ever really become the focus of the cycling world in terms of racing. It does however play host to a charity cycling event attended by a slew of professional racers, including Monaco local and current world champion, Tadej Pogačar.
While the event in question rarely, if ever, makes headlines, pictures emerged on Twitter of Pogačar astride what appears to be an all-new Colnago bike. We cannot make out much from the images, partially as they are low resolution and uploaded to social media, rather than proper high-res sports photography snaps, and partially because of the deliberately bedazzling paintwork, but we can at least surmise that there is a strong likelihood that this is the new V5Rs, what with the current Colnago V4Rs approaching its third year of use.
