Road bike for 2020
Hello,
I want to ask what will be the best race ready bike to buy for 2020 season. I have 6000$/5000€ to buy a complete bike. I live in Slovenia so we do not have a lot of flat terain and I really like hilly roads. My normal ride is 50-75 km with 800-1500 m of climbing so pretty hilly. I normally do 3-4 rides a week alone and 1-2 rides with group. And I also do some racing at an amateur level.
What bike would you advice for me?

Lightly used C60 frame built up with Chorus and Boras.
They are all great bikes that you list. Go with the one that your heart tells you to go for!
Fixed that for you.
If i cross out Orbea and Focus there is still a lot of bikes to choose from. And I think that there is some other bikes on the market that I did not mention here and may be overlooked but they can also be pretty good so that is why I am asking
Looks like you answered your own question. IMO the new Supersix looks pretty perfect.
I currently ride Focus Izalco Pro 2012. It is not mine but it is from my father. It is a few centimeters to big for me but otherwise I do not have a lot of things to complain about it. Maybe it is not as aggressive as I would like it to be.
I will go with disc brakes 100%. I was looking for the new Izalco Max 9.7 ultegra di2/force etap model, Specialized Tarmac, Cannondale Supersix, Canyon Ultimate, Cervelo R5, Orbea Orca OMX. I feel that Focus and Orbea are a little bit too heavy. And dura ace or red etap are probably out of my range.
And also I think that aero frame is not the wisest decision for me, since bikes like Tarmac, Supersix etc are pretty competitive in a group, or in attacks on hills since I am probably not a rider(330ftp at 68kg) that will be gaining time on flats.
What is your current ride? What do you like/dislike about it? Are you looking for Di2/eTap? What bikes have you looked/ridden?
