The best solution to carrying race bikes is to use a platform style bike carrier. For that we will need to find you a hitch for your 2015 Ford Fiesta. If your Fiesta is a hatchback then Curt trailer hitch # C11369 is a great option. If you have a sedan then the hitch number is # 24910.

These hitches are both Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers rated for 200 pounds tongue weight. For a platform style rack that will work with this type of hitch I recommend the Kuat Transfer # KU74FR. The Transfer holds the bikes at the wheels only, it does not touch the frame, so it is ideal for Race bikes, bikes with carbon frames, and bikes with angled frames. It will accept bike wheels 18 to 29 inches.

Another popular bike rack that will work with this type of trailer hitch but that holds the bikes at the frame is the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z. With this bike rack you can load kid's bikes with 16 or 18 inch wheels if using adapter # HRSW-ADP-2, sold separately.

I have included some video links for a hitch and both bike racks for you.
