The robbery is known to have occurred before 4:26 p.m. on Sunday, and the robbers used at least two vehicles to perpetrate the theft, a brown Toyota and a white van. Among the stolen bikes were several Stumpjumpers belonging to the brand's founder, a prototype road bike with full suspension, a Shiv that Tony Martin used at the 2012 Olympics, and the Roubaix that Sagan used to win the Paris Roubaix in 2018.

Morgan Hill Police said burglars forced entry into the business during the day and stole multiple bicycles, valued at an estimated $160,000. “The stolen bicycles were part of a large collection of one of a kind prototypes, race-winning and personally owned bikes Specialized had on display in their building” police said in an official statement.
