Campagnolo Electronic at Tour of Flanders




The Movistar team has been using Campagnolo's electronic group on Pinarello bikes in the runner-up to an eventual production release. Note the design of the rear derailleur, the shifter tabs, and what appears to be a charging port on the battery.

  1. I didn't notice the electric gear changer, but that was one hell of a finish. The last 40 km had so many plot twists I was a wreck by the end. Wow!
