Defending Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet will head into the 2021 season on a familiar frame as AG2R Citroën unveiled the team's BMC Teammachine SLR01 road bikes for the coming year.

Van Avermaet raced on BMC bikes for eight seasons with the supplier's former WorldTour squad before he shifted to the CCC Team and raced on his gold-themed Giant TCR Disc bike, but will now be using the Campagnolo Super Record EPS disc brake groupset after years on Shimano Dura-Ace.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
