Alison Jackson’s LAB71 SuperSix EVO

Alison will ride the fastest lightweight road bike in Cannondale’s history at Strade Bianche

March 3, 2023

At Strade Bianche on Saturday, Alison Jackson will race her LAB71 SuperSix EVO.

Perhaps it’s only fitting that she’s bringing a stunning machine to Leonardo da Vinci’s backyard for the Tuscan race. The LAB71 SuperSix EVO is designed to be Cannondale’s fastest ultralight bike ever crafted. With high performance the driving factor, this bike is ready to take on the climbs, the gravel, and the chaos of Strade Bianche.

Alison has opted to run Vision Metron 40 tubeless wheels which will help her in the inevitable crosswinds. She is pairing those with Vittoria Corsa tubeless 28c tires to take advantage of her natural speed on the asphalt. Riding an 11-30 cassette with 52/36 chainrings will allow her to spin up the climbs while still having power left in her legs to tackle the final climb up the Via Santa Caterina and into Siena’s Piazza del Campo.

Considering how beautiful Alison’s LAB71 SuperSix EVO is, it’s almost a shame to take it out on those dusty, white roads. Almost.

Alison Jackson

Alison Jacson returns to the squad for the 2023 season after a three year hiatus, bringing with her a sprinting and classics background. She raced a strong 2022 season, winning the points competition at the Tour of Scandinavia and narrowly missing out on defending her Canadian national champion’s road title. She finished second at Drentse Acht van Westerveld, improving on her fifth place result in 2021. She is a former Canadian time trial national champion and raced in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Born in Alberta, Canada, Alison grew up wanting to work on her family’s farm. Noticing that Alison still had plenty of energy to spare after completing her chores, her parents enrolled her in just about every sport and type of dance class offered in their small town. It was only a matter of time until Alison discovered cycling as a 19-year-old. While racing in western Canada, her steady results netted her first professional contract in 2015 which was her stepping stone to European racing.

Today she divides her time between her hometown of Vermilion, Aberta, her Canadian training grounds of Abbotsford, BC, and her race base in Girona, Spain. Abbotsford is where she got her start as a cyclist and to this day she loves to catch up with friends while exploring the hills on gravel and single track trails. Her favorite ride from Girona is to climb up the backside of scenic El Far through the medieval village of Rupit.

She's not only an amazing rider, but even better leader and friend on the team. On April 8, 2023, she won Paris-Roubaix Femmes in an amazing display of grit and racing instinct.

You can also find Alison on social media where you’ll find her dancing in lycra and often getting her teammates in on the action.
