The Tour de France isn't the only major bike race taking place this weekend, with the third round of the UCI XC World Cup hitting Vallnord, Andorra — and Nino Schurter will be riding this rather tasty, limited edition Scott Spark RC. Check out the gallery for a closer look at Schurter's setup.
The 2016 Olympic gold medallist and seven-time men's world champion currently lies second in this year's UCI rankings behind Italian rider Gerhard Kerschbaumer.
Cross-country racers craving the factory look will be delighted to learn that limited edition bikes almost identical to those raced by Schurter will soon be available to purchase, with Kate Courtney, the current women's world champion, also riding the new frame in Andorra. The 23-year-old leads the women's elite rankings.
