Matt Russell’s QR Illicito
2012 Ironman Canada champion Matthew Russell is a new member of Team Timex for 2013 and at the current team camp in Lyndhurst, NJ he just got his hands on his Quintana Roo Illicito team bike. It still needs to be fine tuned for him but here are some initial pictures of his ride.

The unique missing non drive seatstay of the Illicito is very obvious here and the eye is also drawn to the new saddle.

We had to leave early but Larry Rosa of rosaphoto.com was kind enough to snap these pictures for us, with the exception of image 9.
