You think your trainer workouts are hard-core? Check out the wattage recently retired pro François Parisien pumps out on the rollers. He’s hammering on Opus’s new top-end road machine, the Vivace.

“I’m glad to be back riding with Opus after my time on the pro circuit,” said Parisien in a statement. “Opus supported me when I was headed for Europe at the start of my career, when I had little money and felt anxious to leave friends and family. Now it feels good to give back to a company that believed in me from the start.”
