“We won the team time trial at Tirreno-Adriatico. It rained the whole distance. Cavendish said that the tires are really, really good. And, Tony Martin said we were going way too fast and should have crashed.”

—Rolf Aldag, Sport & Development Manager, Team Omega Pharma - Quick Step

The Espoir is an extremely reliable road tire, ideal for ambitious training and high-mileage rides. This finely-crafted tire is designed for ultimate reliability and durability. When you don’t have to worry about flats, you can concentrate on sprints, hills, or good conversation on those longer rides.
