Video: Rigoberto Uran takes on team mechanic in bartape-wrapping battle
The month after he finished second to Chris Froome at the Tour de France, Rigoberto Uran found himself in a rather different kind of battle - taking on Cannondale-Drapac team mechanic Jorge Quieros in a challenge to find out who can wrap handlebar tape quickest.
Their contest features in this video from team sponsor fi'zi:k upladed to YouTube in August and the first in a series of similar challenges - you'll find others on the brand's page on the video-sharing site.
If you've never wrapped your own bartape and fancy having a go, here's road.cc's guide to how to do it.

Why?
'We can't win a race for toffee, so we have to get the team some publicity some other way'.
No spoilers!
Well, that really was absolutely fascinating.
