Commenti

Akréa-Samsic’s Canyon

Bicycle: Canyon

Model shown here: Ultimate

EF Pro Cycling’s Cannondale

Bicycle: Cannondale

Model shown here: SystemSix

Components: FSA/Shimano

Wheels: Vision

Notes: The American-based team has been racing on the American Cannondale brand for six seasons now. They also have the Super Six all-around race bike in their arsenal.

UAE Team Emirates’ Colnago

Bicycle: Colnago

Model shown here: Concept

Components: Campagnolo

Wheels: Campagnolo

Notes: UAE riders have been racing to wins and podium spots this year on rim brakes, though riders at the Tour can choose between rim brakes and disc brakes depending on the stage. Riders will likely spend most of their time on the Colnago V3R, rather than the aero Concept, pictured below.

Groupama/FDJ’s Lapierre

Bicycle: Lapierre

Model shown here: Xelius

Components: Shimano

Wheels: Shimano

Notes: Lapierre has been the solitary bike sponsor of this stalwart French squad for more than 20 years.

Movistar’s Canyon

Bicycle: Canyon

Model shown here: Aeroad Disc

Wheels: Zipp

Notes: Although built and billed as an aero bike, the Aeroad has often been raced on the rough roads of Paris-Roubaix, and has won at the cobbled Tour of Flanders.

Jumbo-Visma’s Bianchi

Bicycle: Bianchi

Model shown here: Oltre XR4

Components: Shimano

Bicycle: Trek

Model shown here: Madone

Components: SRAM

Wheels: Bontrager

Notes: The Wisconsin brand’s aero bike, the Madone, features a pivot point at the junction of the top tube and the seat tube, which allows the back of the bike to flex a little for rider comfort. The new Emonda is an ultralight race bike with some more subtle aero shaping.

Components: Shimano

Wheels: Cadex

Notes: Riders have the TCR Advanced SL in both rim and disc to choose from, as well as the Propel Advanced SL Disc aero bike.

AG2R-La Mondiale’s Eddy Merckx

Bicycle: Eddy Merckx

Model shown here: Stockeu69
