• Shimano ... are Vision's parent brand

    Nope. Shimano sponsored teams without a separate bar/stem deal get Pro, the house brand of Shimano Europe. Vision is a department of FSA, under the Tien Hsin umbrella.

  • Bollocks, you're right. Dunno why I was thinking they were part of the Shimano group.

    That said, I've just double checked, and those aren't Vision/FSA bars; most likely custom made ones looking at the odd placing of those steerer bolts.

  • Yes, you're right, the last one he used must be a Most (Pinarello inhouse brand) prototype, based on the Vision Metron 5D as he was using them in Rio 2016 as we can see on this picture.
