Sep Vanmarcke will bid to win his first Monument on board this custom Bianchi Infinito CV.

Vanmarcke is one of the favourites for the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, having finished on the podium of both races in the last two years, and goes into this year’s Classics on the back of a fifth place finish at E3 Harelbeke and sixth at Gent-Wevelgem.

And Bianchi, bike sponsor of the 26-year-old’s Lotto.NL-Jumbo team, have prepared this one-off Infinito CV, the Italian firm’s ‘endurance’ bikes, for Vanmarcke’s challenge. Let’s take a closer look.
