PINARELLO DOGMA 60.1
In 2010 Team Lotto will race on the white red Pinarello Dogma and they will train on the white silver FP7. The Pinarello bikes will be completed with Campagnolo group-sets, Deda handlebar and stems and EDCO wheels.
Rochelle's Pinarello Dogma has had a strong start to the season with stage wins in the Honda Hybrid Women's Tour, Cronulla International Criterium and the Jayco Bay Criterium Series.
Rochelle’s complete bike (pictured to the right) weighs 6.815kg ready to race.
DOGMA 60.1 is Pinarello’s great new idea for 2010 - the beginning of a new generation of frames that will revolutionize the concept of racing bicycles. DOGMA 60.1 is the first completely asymmetric racing frame. The parts on the right side have different shapes and sections than the parts on the left. This is a true innovation in the cycling world and the point of no return for fans of extreme performance.

Rochelle and her Lotto-Belisol Team
PINARELLO PRINCE
Rochelle and her Lotto-Belisol team mates will ride the 2009 season on the new Pinarello Prince. This bike is the ultimate expression of carbon-fiber wonderment. It is partly based on the amazing Montello TT bike, and also incorporates the best features of the carbon-fiber Paris FP.
The 2009 frame uses solely Torayca® carbon 50HM1K surpassing the Paris's stiffness and lightweight. The unique Onda S-wave fork and stay are designed to absorb more road shock without affecting the bike's overall rigidity and ultimately leading to superior comfort on the road.
The beautifully sculpted frame and colour scheme turns heads in any peloton or bunch ride.
Rochelle loves the bike's ability to respond to her chosen command whether that be punching the frame into an aggressive sprint or throttling the crank on a long climb. She feels it is the ultimate platform for racing, with stiffness and comfort in every pedal stroke.

Pro-Soma Metaphysics HMB
PRO-SOME METAPHYSICS HMB
Rochelle uses Pro-Soma Metaphysics HMB supplementation throughout all her training and racing. HMB is short for beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate. It is a metabolite of leucine, one of the body's essential amino acids. Rochelle uses HMB to prevent muscle break down as well as to accelerate tissue repair.
HMB plays a role in the synthesis of muscle tissue in response to exercise to decrease protein breakdown and oxidize fatty acids. Studies on HMB have also shown to improve aerobic performance and shorten recovery time. For the best results, HMB should be consumed as a proportion of your body weight and spread out over the day.
HMB Supplementation Benefit:
- increase lean mass gains
- prevents muscle catabolism
- speeds up muscle repair
- decreases body fat
- decreases blood cholesterol levels
