He won the gold medal at the Rio Olympics in the omnium, so Team Sky came up with a new gold spray job for Elia Viviani's Pinarello road bike.
But it didn't do a very good job, as the photo below reveals.
The Pinarello looks like a mix between a spray job paying tribute to a gold medal winner and an Italian national champion, such are the colours.
And even the gold is not exactly subtle; it looks quite like the wrapper of a Wispa Gold only duller!

His unavailability for testing saw his team withdraw him from the 2007 Tour de France while leading the race by 3:10 from Alberto Contador with just four stages remaining.
