Peter Sagan got a special emerald bike for the Tour de France's final day. The Specialized Venge VIAS was eye-catching, much like Sagan.

Anytime a rider claims a classification jersey at the Tour, it’s a big deal. Although for Peter Sagan, wearing green in France has become his usual July routine. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

But despite the fact that this is Sagan’s fifth points classification win, Specialized went all-out with this shimmering emerald bike for the Champs-Élysées. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

Sagan’s Venge VIAS is a deep emerald that doesn’t quite match the bright green of the points jersey, but that doesn’t matter much, does it? Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

Sagan’s Venge features all the usual aerodynamic touches, as well as the saddle-mounted transponder, which tracks a rider’s GPS and other data. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

Oh, and lest you forget, Sagan is still the man in the rainbow jersey this season as reigning world champ. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

The Venge fork mates smoothly with the aero frame. Shimano Di2 sprint shift buttons are tucked inside Sagan’s drop bars. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

This was the 26-year-old’s office view for the past three weeks. Riders seem to have trended away from the outlandish custom paint on flat tops of aero drops like these. Simple is often better. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

Sagan keeps his timing chip neat and tidy, low on the fork, out of the way. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

Narrow is aero, as they say. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com

Sagan’s teammate Rafal Majka also got a special bike as winner of the mountains classification. He too is a repeat jersey-winner at the Tour. Not a bad haul for a team that lost its GC leader (Alberto Contador) early in the race. Photo: Iri Greco / BrakeThrough Media | www.brakethroughmedia.com
