Sky's bikes are always immaculately neat and tidy – Stannard's cockpit, with 42cm bars, is no exception - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
Shimano Dura-Ace sprint shifter buttons peek out on the inside of the drops. New Dura-Ace Di2 can shift across the whole block if desired, but a Sky mechanic told us Stannard opted for the original one click, one gear mode on the levers - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
At 1.89m (6'2") and using a 56cm frame, Stannard needs a long 141mm Pro Vibe stem. And it was pretty slammed, naturally - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
The Dogma 65.1 uses a standard tapered headset set up 1-1/8in to 1.5in - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
Sky mechanics keep cabling neat with a rubber sleeve before it enters the frame - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
Stannard's bike is equipped with 2014 Shimano Dura-Ace components - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
The teardrop-shaped seatpost adds an aerodynamic touch to the frameset - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
Stannard's saddle is a fi'zi:k Antares with braided rails and the Versus 'relief zone' channel. Saddle set-back is 8.7cm - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
Relatively humble Elite Custom Race bottle holders are fitted as standard - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
SRM launched a crankset to match the new Shimano Dura-Ace 11-speed groupset meaning mechanics no longer had to cannibalise older Dura Ace 7800 arms for 11-speed set ups - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
Stannard prefers discontinued Shimano Dura-Ace 7810 pedals - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
On the eve of the Tour of Britain, Stannard's bike was set up with blacked out Shimano Dura-Ace C50 wheels - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar
There wasn't the slightest dink or scratch on Stannard's bike – reflected in the shiny newness of his Dura-Ace 9000 rear derailleur - Sam Dansie/BikeRadar

Workhorse Ian Stannard's (Team Sky) role at the Tour of Britain was to shepherd team leader Bradley Wiggins to the team's first home tour win.

The British team succeeded in doing this on Sunday, with Wiggins winning overall by 26 seconds from Martin Elmiger (IAM Cycling). Stannard finished 7th at 1'34, his best result being second behind Wiggins in the stage 3 time trial.

Standing well over six feet tall, Stannard rides a relatively small 56cm Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think 2 frame. He compensates with fairly long stem and a saddle setback nudging on towards 9cm.

The bike, in Sky's characteristic way, is the epitome of team issue consistency. It's a luxury of being one of the best-supplied squads in the peloton. The standout deviation is Stannard's pedal preference – the discontinued Shimano Dura-Ace 7810s.
