"You can feel that the Verticale was designed to respond specifically when the gradients are challenging and you’re dancing on the pedals. It gives you back exactly what you give it and you feel in complete control during highly technical high-speed descents: this is very important because a professional cyclist needs to fully trust his bike. It truly is an excellent bike for mountain stages. It will be my trusted companion throughout the Tour de France and I can’t wait to test it during the mountain stages." – David Gaudu, Groupama – FDJ pro cyclist
