Video: Tao Geoghegan Hart FINALLY gets pink Giro Pinarello
2020 Giro d’Italia winner Tao Geoghegan Hart has been presented with a custom pink Giro Pinarello, 17 days after taking the maglia rosa jersey.
A hand-written ‘grazie Tao’ by Fausto Pinarello features on the seat tube of the Dogma F12, and the Giro winner’s race number, 165, is attached to the seat post.

Anna has been hooked on bikes ever since her youthful beginnings at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. As an avid road and track racer, she reached the heady heights of a ProCyclingStats profile before leaving for university. Having now completed an MA in Multimedia Journalism, she’s hoping to add some (more successful) results. Although her greatest wish is for the broader acceptance of wearing funky cycling socks over the top of leg warmers.
