Spotted:
Cadel Evans arrived at the Giro with this new BMC, which appears to be the latest in the TeamMachine line. No new BMC frame appears on the UCI’s approved-frames list, but Evans’ frame did have a UCI approval sticker (with the model name taped over). Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
Spotted:
Cadel Evans is “testing the future,” and is the only Team BMC rider at the Giro with the new frame. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
Spotted:
Though many of BMC’s design cues remain, the tube shapes on the new frame are certainly different from the TeamMachine SLR01 that most of the team is on. The top tube is less angular, with smooth lines all around. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
Spotted:
The down tube is very broad, wider than the SLR01, and tapers to a massive rectangle near the bottom bracket. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
Spotted:
The new frame has internal routing throughout. The rear brake housing enters the front of the head tube, as does a Shimano Di2 cable. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
Spotted:
A broad, angular bottom bracket section. Evans is on a 51cm frame, with a 535mm top tube. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
Spotted:
This plate may cover an entry point for mechanical gearing systems. The head-tube entry used with Di2 cables may be a bit tight for a regular cable. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
Spotted:
The fork’s tapered legs are similar to those found on the current TeamMachine SLR01. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com

Low, short seat stays similar to BMC’s other road frames. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
