The Cervelo P5 of Martin Jensen

Martin Jensen had a race best 2:02 bike split at the 2015 Challenge Dubai despite very hard windy conditions and we now look closer at his Cervelo P5 race bike and the power numbers of this fast Dane.

Jensen rides a 58cm Cervelo P5-6 with very carefully selected components.

Jensen swapped out the stock 3T Aduro ski bend extensions for the European preferred S bends. An XLab Chimp cage holds the bottle between the arms.

The view from the front shows the clean lines of his setup.

Jensen has one spacer below the Aduro bars and an XLab Stealth 300 storage unit behind it.

An XLab Gorilla XT cage is placed behind the ISM Attack saddle with an XLab Sonic mount.

The spare tube is held in place under the saddle with tape, and a ziptie at the front of the rails allows Jensen to get the desired narrowness.

A CeramicSpeed bottom bracket allows Jensen to spin smoothly.

It is indeed a 58cm frame.

The Shimano rear derailleur of Martin Jensen has CeramicSpeed pulley wheels.

When Jensen arrived home he had this Berner rear derailleur awaiting him. Again with CeramicSpeed pulleys. Christmas in March?

The Specialized Turbo Cotton is a very fast rolling tire and durability is much better than the internet rumor mongers are sharing. Jensen has 24mm ones front and back.

Wheels front and back are unlabeled Zipp ones and indeed here is another Specialized 24mm Turbo Cotton tire.

Here is the power file of Jensen from the bike segment in Dubai.
