Pinarello says...

Just a few short months ago, the cycling world was abuzz waiting to see who would come on board as the sponsor replacement of juggernaut Team SKY. With its new sponsor, INEOS, we were greeted with the same team, but the riders were draped in red and black livery instead of the blue and black we were so accustomed to, and a brand new machine between their legs, a Pinarello Dogma F12.
