Mathieu van der Poel spotted riding an unreleased Canyon cockpit

Former world champion and Classics specialist Mathieu van der Poel has posted an Instagram story that appears to reveal an unreleased cockpit. Fresh off a successful Tirreno–Adriatico campaign, where he took two stage wins, van der Poel has been enjoying some relaxed riding on the cycle paths of northern Europe before heading to Italy to defend his Milan–San Remo title this weekend. Front and centre in the story is what appears to be a new cockpit, presumably from Canyon. The handlebar features a noticeably deeper profile than the adjustable CP0048 cockpit currently found on the Aeroad CFR that van der Poel has raced for the past few seasons. The bar also appears to have a pronounced forward sweep, something new for the brand. Whether this is simply a prototype handlebar or part of a wider update remains unclear.
