High-performance Trek Madone SLR Project One, ridden by Jonathan Milan, showcases remarkable prowess in securing the green jersey at the Tour de France, setting a new standard.
In the world of professional cycling, every detail matters, and that was evident in Jonathan Milan's custom 2025 Tour de France winning bike. This Trek Madone SLR, built via Trek's Project One bespoke program, boasted a distinctive Chroma Ivy chrome green paint scheme, honouring his green points classification jersey victory at the 2024 Giro d'Italia.
Key components of this high-performance machine include:
- A green Wahoo Elemnt Bolt bike computer, matching the bike's green theme for 2025.
- Top-tier road bike pedals compatible with professional racing setups, such as the Time XPro 10 Celebration Edition road bike pedals, a nod to the green jersey.
- A SRAM Red AXS groupset with 54/41T chainrings and a 10-33T cassette, providing the perfect balance for Milan's sprinting strengths.
- A 142g Bontrager RSL 145 saddle, completing the rear end of the bike.
The bike's cockpit features an integrated 42cm Madone RSL bar with a 120mm, -7-degree stem, designed for aero performance. Milan, standing at 1.93m tall and weighing 84kg, required a bike that could accommodate his size, and the Trek Madone SLR Project One did just that.
To differentiate it from his teammates' bikes, the customization of Jonathan Milan's Trek Madone SLR Project One included personalised 'Milan' stickers on the wheels and top tube. The bike also rides on Bontrager Aeolus RSL62 Tubeless shod in 28mm Pirelli PZero Race TLR RS tyres.
A notable addition to the bike was the Quarq Power Meter crankset, fitted with 172.5mm SRAM Red cranks, a departure from Milan's previous use of 175mm crankarms.
Jonathan Milan's victory in the maglia ciclamino (points classification) at the 2024 Giro d'Italia was not without competition. Tadej Pogačar was considered a threat to Milan's chances, but Milan secured the maglia ciclamino quite comfortably, with 372 points, compared to Pogačar's 294 points.
Unfortunately, Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck crashed out with a broken collarbone on stage 3 of the 2025 Tour de France, leaving Milan as the clear favourite for the green jersey. In the end, Milan's green Trek Madone SLR Project One proved to be the perfect tool for his victory, securing him the maillot vert (green jersey) at the 2025 Tour de France.
