Megan Guarnier's road bike

We look closer at the Giant TCR Advanced SL race bike of Team Rabobank - Liv/Giant Pro Megan Guarnier, the 2012 US Pro road champion. Guarnier came from Europe to defend her title in Chattanooga, TN, but the 2013 title went to Jade Wilcoxson. Without further ado, here is the race ready bike of Megan Guarnier.

The missing bottle on the downtube is hydrating the athlete as we snapped these pictures.

Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 controls.

The Shimano Pro Vibe cockpit and a SRM PowerControl 7 head unit.

Tacx cages are quite popular in Europe.

The Shimano Dura-Ace SRM powermeter shows signs of quite a few miles.

The Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 rear derailleur also has signs of wear.

The front end of the bike.

Riding a Dura-Ace C35 in the rear and a C50 up front was a logistical situation, and not a technical choice.
