Unless you’re Maya Kingma.

The former professional triathlete signed with EF Education-Oatly last month and soon learned that her first race would be the Giro d’Italia Women. Fortunately, Maya is an endurance athlete and is looking forward to taking on the eight-stage Giro with her Cannondale LAB71 SuperSix EVO.

Our mechanics have been working closely with Maya to get her set up dialed in before the race kicks off on Sunday. She will ride Vittoria Corsa Pro 30mm tires, offering her the low rolling resistance and traction she’ll need for Italy’s roads.

The Fizik Solocush Tacky bar tape allows her to grip with confidence and in comfort as she navigates the winding descents. Maya will track all her data using her Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT 3.

“I’m new to Cannondale but I’m already so impressed with my bike,” Maya said. “It feels super fast, especially when accelerating. When you stand on the pedals, the power transfer feels really direct. And with the handling, it feels very secure so I feel like I can really put it inside in the corners. It lets me give a little more, go a little harder. You can tell – this bike just wants to go fast.”
