The cost of Rigoberto Urán's EF Education bike compared to Nairo Quintana's Movistar Team bike
Cycling
The EF Education-EasyPost team is in full swing, fine-tuning every detail to face the upcoming World Tour season with determination. With star names like Rigoberto Urán, Esteban Chaves and Richard Carapaz among the most prominent South Americans, the U.S-based squad is ready to challenge giants like Jumbo-Visma and UAE Team Emirates.
This year's approach has been a strategic combination of experience and youth, with the aim of reaping better results after 2023 saw them crown three national road champions: Chaves (Colombia), Carapaz (Ecuador) and Ireland's Ben Healy.
However, beyond human talent, the team has bet on performance and innovation by introducing its secret weapon: the Cannondale LAB71 SuperSix EVO. This bike is not just a tool, it's a tribute to the journey a rider travels in his or her career. Designed to dominate both flat terrain and vertiginous climbs, it symbolizes the versatility and ambition of the team. The price of this precision machine is 14,999 euros.

Comparatively, as the folks at Antena 2 comment, Nairo Quintana's bike for his second stage with Movistar Team, the Canyon Ultimate CFR AXS AXS 2024, is worth €8,999. This cost difference between bikes reveals divergent strategies within the world of professional cycling.
I think I heard somewhere that the 'dales EF are on are custom to each rider??
That connondale bike looks cool too! It has room for 2 water bottles, perfect for pro cyclists. Totally worth the money alone😁.
Sure they're both high end race bikes, but the Cannondale is also 'an homage to the winding journey of life as a pro cyclist', which totally justifies it costing €6,000 more.

- Jorgenson needs races to improve, he won Paris Nice last year, he should have been given open rein this year. He rode his guts out for Jonas last year, Jonas just needs to build form for the Tour. Give Matteo a race without a co captain.awp16-03-2025

- Yes, he’s impressive at the moment but lets see how long he keeps it up first so we know this isn’t his peak whilst those he’s expected to go up against are still building up to theirs.Mistermaumau15-03-2025
