This is the bike Human Powered Health’s Mieke Kröger used at Paris-Roubaix Femmes, where the former German road and track champion was active in the front group during the early cobbled sectors but flatted and finished 75th, nine minutes down on winner Elisa Longo Borghini.
The American team, new to the women’s World-Tour for 2022, use the Felt FR – the flagship road race bike from the US brand – with SR AM groupsets.
As is increasingly the way with the latest bikes, modifications for the cobbled Classics are relatively minimal, with bigger rubber being the only obvious concession. We’re seeing more teams riding tubeless tyres now, but Kröger’s bike is running 30mm unmarked tubulars – which unfortunately proved no more puncture resistant than tubeless in the dry, dusty conditions – on Vision Metron 40 wheels.
Kröger’s name is on top but she was down on her luck at Roubaix
Human Powered Health are a SRAM sponsored team and Kröger has the Red power meter-equipped chainset with 50/37 chainrings – scaled down to work with SR AM’s AXS cassette that starts with a 10t sprocket.
