Tadej Pogağar (UAE Team Emirates) is leading the race by 7:42 in the Giro d'Italia, so it is no wonder he is supposed to ride a commemorative victory bike before the last procession to Rome.

Repainted bikes have been a convention for any grand Tour winner usually used as a tool to sell their flagship product (sometimes those whose athletes in the race do not ride primarily) and usually ride in the final stages of the grand tour. 

Cornago would be excited to put together a very complex custom design V4RS for Pogagnar, as the Italian bike builders have posted exceptional annual results against the context of many bike brands seeing their earnings plummet, the brand defies its own gravity. As we have seen in the last few years, we have seen the premium.

The V4RS of Pogagnar is fully equipped for the Savage Montegrappa double of Stage 20 and saved in the glory of all its race preparation. 

Keen tech heads will soon find all the unique prosperity of Pogañar's bicycle build. His unique carbon Ti165x40 chain ring with an eyebrow-raising crank is already a unique technical pick for his Grand Tour campaign

His Enve Richard Mille-emblazoned stem has been subtly rebranded, but true love has been invested in this custom design. The wheel set and the saddle were designed.

If you look closely, you can see that Pogagnard's pro logo Nago R4 has been etched with his race victories throughout his career - with confidence

The Enve SES4.5 wheelset has seen the logo re-colored, but the 2024 Giro d'etalia has been the most successful in the world. It is also shown in the highlights of the app.

Certainly the only component left is the group set, and his Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 group features satellite sprint shifters.

All together the build represents an unusually complex and well-thought-out tribute to Poganyar's Giro campaign, but with the Slovenians seizing the Malai Rosa in Stage 2, there has been no sign of a challenge since then and the brand has certainly had time to plan.
