While the athletes are the serious, Cervelo proved once again it is worthy of the Ironman competitions. The new P5 made its debut at the Ironman Melbourne last week and it brought several riders to excellent showings including two podium positions with Rachel Joyce (current ITU Long Course Champion) and Frederik Van Lierde (winner of the 2011 Ironman Nice and Abu Dhadi) placing 2nd and 3rd respectively. The P5 also made its debut appearance in the 7km time trial stage of the Criterium International with Garmin-Barracuda’s Dave Zabriskie finishing 7th in the time trial stage.
This sounds like an impressive beginning for the new P5, which is the first bike designed entirely using CFD – Computational Fluid Dynamics. We see a great season for those riding the bike this season.
