German Andi Böcherer earned his way to Kona despite starting the month of May with zero KPR points. Let's take a closer look at his Shimano, Zipp Speed and TorHans equipped Kuota KT5.
Andi Böcherer on his way to third place at the 2015 Ironman European Championships in Franfurt.
When Böcherer checked in his Kuota, he made sure everything was in working order.

Böcherer rides with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 components and a TorHans bottle mounted between the extensions.
The speedy German has another TorHans aero bottle mounted low on the seat tube.
The brakes are integrated into the fork.
Böcherer relies on a Quark power meter for data. 175mm cranks with Shimano Dura-Ace 55-42 chainrings.
A Zipp disc in back and an 808 up front with 23mm Continental GrandPrix TT tires and latex tubes. Cassette is 11-28.
The SelleItalia saddle has seen many miles.
