New golden Pinarello for Richard Carapaz as the Giro arrives in Italy

Richard Carapaz is currently riding the Giro d'Italia, and on the first rest day of the race he's received a new bike that he will be riding through the mountains as he looks to conquer a second triumph.

Ever since becoming the Olympic champion last summer in Tokyo, Carapaz has been a standout figure in the peloton as he bears the golden colours on several pieces of equipment. Perhaps most noticeable, the golden scheme on his Pinarello bike has been quite a shocking visual, but that will not be a sight to behold throughout the mountainous stages that lie ahead.

INEOS Grenadiers have shared on social media pictures of the Ecuadorian's new bike, a Pinarello DOGMA F with several details in golden colour, but the more familiar black pain scheme - of the team colours - is back.

Tomorrow at Mount Etna, Carapaz is expected to be at the front as the GC riders go head to head on the first mountainous summit finish of the race.
