Jade's — The swirling shades of green and the gold lettering on the top tube remind Rolland of his daughter, Jade. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Stem — There’s always room for celebration. Rolland’s stem is an homage to his past wins. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Swirls — On television, the bike appears to be some sort of lime green, but up close, the swirling details make for an eye-catching ride. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Design — The design shop responsible for the swirling paint job is Art Tech Design, an Italian company. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Seatpost — The FSA K-Force seatpost measures in at 25.4mm at the collar, allowing flex that adds compliance on rougher roads. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Flex, — Cannondale’s Speed Save frame features flattened chain stays that flex vertically for comfort while maintaining lateral stiffness. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

BB30A — The bottom bracket shell isn’t massive like an aero bike, but it still gives Rolland plenty of stiffness for ripping up steep climbs. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Fizik — When Rolland isn’t out of the saddle on the attack, he’s sitting atop a Fizik. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Highway — Rolland rolls Mavic Cosmic Ultimate wheels and Mavic tires that were hopefully swapped out for freshies as the Tour rolls on through the mountains. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Powerhouse — 53/39 chainrings mated to a Cannondale SISL2 are complemented by an SRM power meter. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com

Gears — It’s likely Rolland rolls this 11-28 cassette for most Tour stages. He’s not a threat during sprint stages, and the low gears come in handy during climbing stages. Photo: Dan Cavallari | VeloNews.com
