Market / Cycling: John Degenkolb and Trek-Segafredo are still not doing quite as they would like in the classics. However, the latest results show a clear upward trend and give hope for podium finishes at the Tour of Flanders next weekend and Paris – Roubaix the week after. As a little extra motivation, John Degenkolb will receive an individual Trek Domane from his new bike outfitter Trek, which will also be available to buy directly from Trek in this form for a short period of time – for just under $13.000.
Not that John Degenkolb needs any special motivation in view of the upcoming classics tasks, but it still can't hurt - that's what Trek must have thought or something similar when they designed an individual Trek Domane for the German classics specialist. Its look is based on a café racer - just right for a motorcycle fan like John Degenkolb: “Sure, everyone knows that I love cobblestones, but I don't think many people realize that my biggest passion besides cycling is motorcycling. Riding a bike inspired by my own café racer is just awesome! […] The bike also has my lucky number seven on the seat tube.”
For a limited time, Dege's Trek Domane can also be ordered by everyone through Trek's Project One design program. In team equipment with Shimano's new Dura Ace group, disc brakes and carbon wheels, this gem comes in at a whopping $13.000.
