A bike in which, obviously, the characteristic red color of the La Vuelta leader's jersey predominates, to which is added, on the fork legs, three stripes, one pink, one yellow and one red, the latter in a different tone to stand out against the background, which serve to celebrate the triumphs in the three Grand Tours. The pink, yellow and red colors are also present on the Reserve wheel logos.
On the seat tube, the GC Kuss logo stands out, referring to the victory in the Tour and on which you can read the slogan "The hype is real" in allusion to the tremendous attention generated by the victory of a supporter like Kuss in the general classification of a Grand Tour, undoubtedly the favorite cyclist of the fans and that throughout his career has been tremendously close. It also bears the name Kuss on the top tube accompanied by logos representing the trophies of the three Grand Tours.
In fact, Sepp Kuss, who a few days before his victory in La Vuelta described himself as a 'globero', is a regular on Catalan roads and a lover of the most remote routes and roads. He has even designed possible mountain stages through the Bergadá region that he has proposed to the organizations of La Vuelta a España and Volta a Catalunya, as well as being, as always alluded to by the cyclists of the area, one of those who always say hello when you cross paths with him.
Otherwise, this Cervélo S5 has a similar set-up to what the Jumbo-Visma team has been using throughout the season, including the now customary option for the flat stages of their SRAM Red AXS single chainring set-up.
