Greg Bennett is one of triathlon's most successful pros, having won eleven of the fifteen Life Time Series events he entered. He is currently riding on BMC's high-end TM01 bike, complete with Di2 livery and a custom BTA bottle setup. We caught up with him for all the ins and outs of his svelte machine.


Greg Bennett's BMC TM01 is one mean machine.

Zipp Firecrest 404's are some of the fastest racers on the planet, and Bennett also uses the for training.

Power measuring duties go to the Dura Ace SRM.

Bennett keeps things nice and narrow on his HED Corsair aerobar.

The duct tape on his Zipp extensions are where he stashes his SRM computer.

No cables here - the BMC TM01 does a good job of keeping everything hidden.

No doubt, this is a great looking bike.

We were very interested in Bennett's custom BTA bottle setup, which he had made just for him.

His bottle hardware is held in place by the clamping system of the BMC's integrated stem.

Here you can see where the custom hardware is held in place in two different spots.

Bennett's rear solution is a single bottle, zip tied directly to the saddle. Bennett says this one isn't for constant access, but rather as a refill station for the front bottle.

The TM01 is a nice machine, from any angle.
