Hello everybody, my name is Steve Morabito.
I'm a Swiss rider from the Française des Jeux team.
And I will present my Lapierre Xelius SL.
This model is really special...
...because it's in all the colors of the place where I live...
...the canton du Valais.
And it's also to promote a project I have...
...to motivate people to come to Valais...
...to ride a bike.
And also for the Valais people to ride a bike.
Starting from the fork...
...I have the Valais flag with thirteen stars...
...I have a big symbol of my canton...
...it's the Matterhorn.
Inside you will see a dog...
...it's a Saint Bernard...
...it's really famous in the place where I live.
Here you'll find the logo of Valais...
...with 'gravé dans Mon coeur'...
...it's really the motto of the place where I live.
Everywhere on the top tube you'll find a lot of hashtags...
...and all the names of the big mountains.
It's really a personal artwork...
...and I find it pretty cool to ride with a special bike.
I choose to ride with a normal ergonomic handlebar.
I always like to set up my brakes a little bit closer to the handlebar.
It's easier for me to reach.
I'll never go back to a mechanical shifting system.
You can shift normal...
...but I also have two buttons on the inside of my handlebar...
...where I can shift my cassette up and down...
...I find that really cool.
On top of the shifters we have two buttons...
...and you can set them up to change the cassette...
...but I choose to connect it to my Garmin.
While riding I just have to click a button to turn the pages...
...and that's really nice...
...because you change from one screen to another...
...just by pushing the button.
For a really hilly stage this is my perfect bike.
When it's a flat stage I'll change the wheels...
...with the C60's.
With this kind of bike you can really be happy.
You just have to peddle.
