Aero is everything for Mitchelton-Scott's fast man Matteo Trentin. The Italian is racing the Tour de France this year aboard a Scott Addict that has plenty of aerodynamic touches

The paint isn’t the only thing that’s new. The Addict recently got redesigned completely, with an entirely new approach to the all-around category. Dropped seat stays, for example, add lots of compliance and a bit of aero advantage. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com
Continuing with the aero trend, Scott added an integrated aero cockpit to the Addict. Cables run through the bar and stem, and the tops feature aero shaping. They’re also ergonomically designed for better comfort. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com
The computer mount gets integrated too. This one’s made by K-Edge. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Bare carbon weave adds a nice aesthetic touch. Note that Trentin’s saddle is positioned all the way forward as far as the rails will allow. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com
The holographic-style color scheme extends to the smallest details, like the Syncros logo on the seatpost. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com
Like some of his teammates, Trentin experimented with clinchers during the lead-up to stage 1 in Brussels, Belgium. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com
Disc brakes are no longer the controversy they once were. Trentin’s bike is light enough that adding disc brakes doesn’t affect the ability to meet or even sneak under the UCI’s 6.8kg weight rule. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com
