It’s the dawn of a new era, as Red Bull enters WorldTour team ownership with Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe. The squad brings a new look to this year’s Tour de France, as they chase victory with team leader Primož Roglič. We entered the Red Bull hangar to build the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 of key lieutenant Jai Hindley. The RED AXS groupset gets custom touches to match the stunning frame, all expertly assembled by Thorsten Wilhelms from the SRAM Racing department.
