However, anyone who wants a lower-priced piece of memorabilia from Jumbo Visma's season can also bid on classification leader's jerseys the riders wore in the Tour and Vuelta, their frame numbers or jersey numbers.
Other Cervélo bikes being sold include Sepp Kuss's from the Tour de France and two ridden by Primož Roglič on the French Grand Tour. Bikes ridden by Tom Dumoulin and Koen Bouwman on the Giro are also up for sale on the 10-day online auction, which has just begun, as well as one used by Marianne Vos as she led the women's Tour.
