Filippo Ganna used Classified ‘front derailleur killer’ hub for Giro d’Italia time trial

The Italian time trial sensation Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) used the aftermarket Classified Powershift two-speed rear hub system on his time trial bike at the Giro d’Italia, Cyclingnews can reveal.

The thru-axle of the Classified system is unique and a good amount bigger than a traditional thru-axle quick-release handle. Having spotted it on the TV cameras, Cyclingnews reached out to the Ineos team, who confirmed our belief.
