He may not have been able remove the yellow jersey from Chris Froome’s shoulders following a last ditch attack on Alpe d'Huez yesterday, but Colombian cyclist Nairo Quintana has clinched the white jersey of the best young cyclist at the 2015 Tour de France, which he also won in 2013. To celebrate, his Movistar team has prepared a special white bike for him to ride into Paris today. We're sure he'll be riding a yellow bike one of these days.

This morning, his Movistar team unveiled a special white custom painted Canyon Ultimate CF SLX for Quintana to ride on the final stage of the Tour today. It's based on the same Ultimate CF SLX bike that he has used for the entire race, but usual team paint job has been swapped for a predominantly white finish.

The white frame is complemented by a white Fizik saddle, pedals, bottle cages, bar tape and Campagnolo hoods, as the team equipment sponsors have got involved in the action. Otherwise the bike is the same as usual, so it's Campagnolo Bora Ultra wheels with Continental tyres, Power2Max power meter, Campagnolo Super Record EPS drivetrain and Canyon finishing kit.
