Cricket's Jason Roy is the latest name to hope aboard the cycling express. The England World Cup-winning batsman recently took delivery of a Ribble Endurance SL, the Lancashire marque's lightweight carbon endurance bike.

Based around a superlight carbon road frame, Jason's bike is equipped with Shimano Ultegra Di2, carbon Level 5 integrated road bar and stem, and Level carbon wheels.

"I love this bike, the way it rides is excellent - the bike has especially smooth handling and also looks stunning," commented Jason.

"Cycling gives me another dimension to my training and I look forward to putting the hard miles in."

The Endurance SL also comes in an e-bike version - Andy is a big fan.
