Find out what bike manufacturers are dominant, and what drivetrains, wheels, and tires are regulars on the podium. Written by: Bruce Lin. Published on: Jul 22, Posted in: Bikes. The Tour de France is back for another year of exciting race action, tragic defeats, and heroic moments. Riders, teams, and manufacturers all bring their best equipment to the Tour, so its the perfect place for us to geek out on new bikes, gear, and tech. At the end, we should have some fun data, and maybe some inspiration for how to equip our own road bikes at home. I'll be updating this post after every stage, so stay tuned! Despite being one of the oldest brands in cycling, before Tadej's first Tour win in , no Colnago-branded bike had ever won the Tour. Colnago did build Eddy Merckx's Tour-winning bikes back in the '70s, but they were branded Merckx. Now, they've become the brand to beat. Bike brands have been struggling since the end of and many are relying on huge sales and discounts to move bikes. Colnago, however, has no such issues. This is partially because they build fewer bikes than the bigger brands and they focus on the high-end market. But the Tadej Pogacar effect can't be discounted. Cervelo is actually in a similar position thanks to the success of Visma, Jonas Vingegaard, and Wout van Aert. I never had an interest in Cube's road bikes before, but now, his Cube Litening Aero CX is looking pretty good, especially in that special green colorway see stage 8! Unfortunately, despite all the hype, the new Tarmac SL8 didn't get any glory at the Tour this year. It will need to wait for to get another chance to win a stage. What I like is that it's not actually the fancy Lab71 see stage 17 for more details. You don't need the absolute lightest frame to crush climbs! You just need good legs The Colnago V4R s was top of the pile with 5 wins. I usually expect dedicated aero bikes like the Litening or Aeroad to take the most wins because sprinters have the most opportunities to win, but when you're up against a raging Tadej Pogacar, forget about it. SRAM probably hoped for more with their new drivetrain. Unfortunately, all the SRAM-sponsored teams struggled. Visma is down on both luck and firepower, the star riders of Lidl-Trek and Red Bull Bora abandoned due to crashes, and Movistar was more or less invisible the entire race. Surely, they'll be gunning for more stages next year! It was really no contest. It wasn't all Tadej though. Anthony Turgis, a humble domestique, also won the stage 9 gravel stage on the SES 4. As for tires, the Vittoria Corsa Pro is the most successful race tire ever , and this year, it only added to its win tally. Ultimately, it's hard to go wrong with one of these two tire choices. There's a good reason so many top teams run Vittoria or Continental. If you read through all the stage-by-stage details below, you'll see that I kept wanting the Cervelo S5 to take a win because it happens to be my dream bike. Alas, Tadej Pogacar was just too dominant. Jonas Vingegaard had a pretty interesting S5 setup on a few mountain stages. He used a 50t 1x chainring with a t or t cassette such power! Trek, Pinarello, and Factor all updated their flagship bikes this year, but Trek lost its top sprinter early, and Pinarello and Factor just don't have any riders who can hang with the top favorites. The FCR might become the future king of budget aero bikes. Dare is an up-and-coming Taiwanese brand, and the Velocity Ace is absurdly aero-focused. The headtube and fork legs look like they came off a TT bike. I'd ride one! Stage 1 of this years was expected to be one of the hardest Tour starts in recent memory. Tough climbs, high temps, and costal winds would make many riders suffer early. Maybe this is proof! Bardet swapped to the shallower and lighter Dura-Ace C36 wheels versus the deeper C60 wheels their bikes are often photographed with for the tough climbs that came early in the stage. Besides good legs, tactics, and descending, their aero frames, aero Syncros cockpits, and turned in levers surely made them extra slippery, which probably helped the pair maintain their gap in the windy finale! I also noticed that Bardet is running bars with a more classic profile rather than the shallow drops most riders use these days. He also had a 26mm front tire paired with a 28mm rear That used to be considered wide, but now it's surprisingly narrow! How do you get the French to win stages at the Tour? Start in Italy! We have another French winner, conveniently, on and Italian bike too. Despite the hilliness of the first two stages this year, it seems that most riders who have the option of an aero or a climbing bike have been been choosing the aero bike, usually with shallower wheels. Bianchi's all-rounder, the Specialissima RC, has improved aerodynamics, and Vauquelin's teammate in the breakaway was riding it, but Vauquelin decided to go with the heavier but more aerodynamic Oltre RC. He did swap to the lighter Vision Metron 45 SL wheels for the tough climbs. Bini, Bini, Bini! Biniam Girmay took his first-ever stage win and he has become the first-ever Black African stage winner. Holy crap, that brought a tear to my eye. He diced through a chaotic bunch sprint and had enough of a lead to post up and celebrate before the line. Someone might need to check me on this, but I also think this is the first TdF stage win for Cube Bikes too. They're slightly faster than the 'regular' GP S TR but sacrifice some puncture protection so many teams only use them on super flat stages. Some also mix tires with a TT on the front and S on the rear. Also, look how narrow Bini's handlebars are compared to the other racers in this finish photo. Narrow bars for the win! A few things in life are certain: death, taxes, and Tadej Pogacar ripping everyone's legs off with a devastating attack on the final meters of a climb. Pogacar rode back into the Yellow Jersey on the Col du Galibier, erasing any doubt that he's this year's favorite. He did so on his trusty Colnago V4Rs. The Colnago V4Rs isn't the most aero or the lightest bike in the peloton, but it's a solid do-it-all racer. It certainly hasn't held Pogacar back. The SES 4. With a fast and tricky descent at the finish of stage 4 though, it's very likely that Pogacar switched to the GP S TR tires for today's stage. Again, I must comment on the bars. Pogacar runs it long, low, and narrow with a one-piece ENVE cockpit measuring 37cm wide with a mm stem and the levers turned in as far as the rules allow so they measure closer to 32cm at the hoods. So aggressive! He fricken' did it. I almost can't believe it. Mark Cavendish has broken the Tour de France stage win record with his 35th victory. His team was great in the run-in, but in the end, he surfed wheels on his own to somehow get into the perfect position. When he hit the front with speed, he was so low and aero, last year's fastest man Jasper Philipsen couldn't come around. In case you don't know, dropping vowels is the cool thing to do these days. Cav put a lot of thought into aero enhancements this year with aero water bottles, socks, and a new aero racesuit. Clearly it helped! I've been eyeing them myself. He certainly won't get spun out, but Shimano spend a lot of time perfecting their tooth profiles. Perhaps that's why Cav's chain dropped after he crossed the line My co-worker Andy says it's happens to sprinters like Cav a lot and it's from 'backpedaling super hard when he posts up. Photo: Sprint Cycling Agency. Another dull flat stage leading into a chaotic sprint finish. This time, Dylan Groenewegen came out on top, beating Jasper Philipsen who also got relegated for impeding Wout van Aert by centimeters with a well-timed bike throw. What bike did he throw? The Propel was updated for to be lighter, stiffer, more compliant and more aerodynamically efficient than its predecessor. All things we expect. The impressive thing is that is was designed to be a sub-7kg bike. The rear end was slimmed down significantly, which reduced weight and added a lot of rear compliance. Paired with g 50mm CADEX wheels with carbon spokes, and you get a complete build thats hover around the 6. Groenewegen is the Dutch national champion, so his Propel is painted in the colors of the Dutch flag. Something I found interesting is that his team seems to all be running Vittoria Corsa Pro tires despite being sponsored by CADEX, which recently released a new line of tires to pair with their wheels. One more thing — I couldn't resist using a photo that clearly showed Groenewegen's absurd Batman-mask aero sunglasses. Is this the future? Remco's bike at the Criterium du Dauphine. Photo: Specialized. Remco sported the White Jersey for best young rider during the TT. Photo: Photo News Agency Belgium. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the reigning time trial world champion, Remco Evenepoel, won the first time trial of the Tour. He's definitely targeting both time trial stages this year, and has regularly been seen warming down after stages on his TT bike rather than his road bike to stay familiar with the riding position. Remco's bike is the same Shiv TT he used to win the time trail at the Tour's traditional warm-up race, the Criterium du Dauphine, which has a special 'Liquid Metal' paint job for this year's Tour. He rode a massive tooth 1x chainring with a K-Edge chain catcher to maintain the ideal chainline in the t cogs. He uses the Roval Disc wheel in the rear and switches between the Rapide CLX 64 wheel on the front or a deeper mm Aerocoach wheel pictured at the Dauphine above. Quick-Step still uses tubes Gasp! They were 26mm wide. It's super fast, but it does feel a bit outdated these days. Still, you can't argue with a win! Bini did it again! Today was wet, windy, and finished with a slight uphill kick which suited Bini a bit more than the 'pure' sprinters. His team kept him sheltered and he was able to grind it out and out-drag Jasper Philipsen to the line, becoming the first rider to win two stages this year. What a great Tour for Bini and his team! He's crushing the intermediate sprints too, so it seems very likely that he'll stay in Green all the way to the end. Stage 9's novel gravel stage might be one of the best Tour stages I've seen in a long time. There was chaos, drama, and plenty of dust. In the end, the winner was Frenchman Anthony Turgis, a rider who completely flew under my radar. Turgis is a domestique, a workhorse, and this is the biggest win of his career. It's actually his first win at the World Tour-level! The French are having one of the best Tours they've had in a long time. If ENVE wanted their bike to win one stage, stage 9 was probably it. The Melee is unique among aero road racing frames because it has a relatively massive 35mm tire clearance, making it perfect for mixed terrain stages like this. I'm not sure Turgis' team took advantage of this though. However, on the super wide SES 4. Most riders today used tires in the mm range. When Team TotalEnergies announced that they'd be riding the Melee this season, I wasn't sure the bike would be competitive at this level of racing. ENVE is known for its carbon wheels, but it's pretty new to the framebuilding game. Jasper Philipsen probably feels very relieved right now. After dominating sprint finishes last year, he was the hot favorite for this year's flat stages. Until today, he kept getting beat, but his lead-out train finally got it together and launched him to the finish so fast, no one could come alongside him. He's on a Canyon Aeroad CFR, just like last year, but his frame looks like it has a few updates that we'll likely see on the upcoming Aeroad. The Aeroad is already one of the most aerodynamically efficient frames based on Tour Magazine wind tunnel tests on the market, but Canyon has refined the shape of the head tube, seatstay and seat tube junction, and chainstays to improve aerodynamics even more. There's also a new integrated Canyon handlebar that has a negative rise stem to help riders get lower than before for even more aero gains. It looks like Philipsen is running it in the narrowest 36cm position. Photo: Team Visma-Lease a Bike. This Tour is shaping up to be one of the best ever. Many, including me, had doubts about Jonas Vingegaard after his horror crash at in the spring, but he showed that his form is good by beating Tadej Pogacar in an uphill finish sprint this might also be first time he's beaten Tadej in a sprint. The TA stands for 'turbulent aero. Jonas' R5 is set-up with a stiff and aero Vision Metron 5D integrated cockpit, which looks noticeably wider than the ENVE cockpit Tadej is using maybe it's just the lever angles? Tadej might be feeling a bit nervous now too. I'm excited to see how he handles a potentially resurgent Jonas in the third week of the Tour. Bini does it again! He's pretty much proven that he's the fastest finisher at the Tour this year and you'd be a fool to bet against him taking the Green Jersey all the way to Nice remember, the Tour doesn't finish in Paris this year. Now that Bini's bike is a three-time stage winner, let's talk a bit about some of the small aero details of his kit and bike setup. It's a brand-new helmet from Uvex that is only just now available for sale. For aerodynamics, it has a detachable plug-in cover for the vents, but this actually goes against UCI regulation 1. They just superglued the cover on so it's technically no longer detachable! Obviously, us regular consumers won't have to worry about that though. Bini's aero socks which are the best aero upgrade for the money are made by Verge Sport and have some nice-looking texture on them. I might have to try some out! His riding position is very modern — i. It looks similar in shape to most 'snub-nosed' saddles but the 'sitting area' 2cm farther forward than normal. The tip is wider and has more padding, allowing riders to scoot up and adopt an extremely aero position. Of course, Bini's legs do most of the work, but these little aero details likely contribute a bit to the amazing speed Bini has on fast sprint finishes! Photo: Russell Ellis. Jasper Philipsen has seriously turned his Tour around after a winless first week. Now, he's the second best sprinter after Bini with two wins. Honestly, I was hoping today's 2nd place finisher Wout van Aert would pull it off just so I could talk about the Cervelo S5 my dream bike. One of my favorite publications is Tour Magazine out of Germany because they're one of the few doing their own independent wind tunnel testing. If we look at their aero results , the current generation Aeroad CFR is among the fastest bikes tested with W of drag. Will the refinements seen on this new version make it even faster? We'll have to wait and see. An interesting thing I noticed in the photo above is that Jasper seems to ride with his levers at a slight downward angle. Maybe that helps him get more aero in sprint finishes? It also looks like he uses mm brake rotors front and rear. Is this to save weight or for better aerodynamics? Maybe both? I wonder if he or rather, his mechanic switches back to mm rotors for mountain stages. I'd hate to do the big alpine descents with such a small front rotor! There he goes again, attacking for the win Pogacar really is something special! This searing attack and subsequent stage win is probably exactly what he needed after his surprise loss to Vingegaard in the stage 11 sprint. After his stage 4 win, I mentioned that I love that Pogacar's bike features many progressive bike geek choices in its build. So let's take a closer look at a couple of my favorite things — wheels and tires. Here's a few theories:. It's likely a bit of all three and the last point probably carries a bit more weight than people might expect. I mean, can you imagine him in anything besides a MET helmet with hair tufts always poking through? Or Scicon sunglasses? This extra width means riders can run wider mm tires while still keeping the tires narrower than the external width of the rim. Pogacar is definitely on the progressive end of tire size too. They're set up tubeless, and on the wide ENVE rims they generally balloon out to just over 31mm. Many pros still haven't gone as wide as Pogacar despite ample evidence that wider tires have less rolling resistance than narrower tires, especially on rough roads. Maybe if Pogi wins the tour this year it will change some stubborn minds! Well, he did it again. This time though, it was Jonas Vingegaard that initiated the attack. Pogacar covered it easily, then left Jonas in the dust, extending his lead in the Yellow Jersey to over 3 minutes. He's also now equal with Biniam Girmay with 3 stage wins this year. I'm glad I stuck to wheels and tires in the last stage. If Pog keeps winning stages, I'm going to run out of things to talk about! Let's cover a couple small components At the World Tour level, some riders actually want the extra stiffness of aftermarket hangers for faster and more precise shifts, especially when shifting under load. I actually use one of Silca's 3D-printed titanium hangers on my own race bike, which is designed for the same purpose. I can't say that I notice much difference, but I'm also not a World Tour-level rider! Look closely at Pog's brakes and you'll notice some interesting machined fins sticking out of his calipers. The backing plate has cooling fins that stick out the top, and these fins use a thermal coating containing Graphene to keep pad temps low on long and tough descents. The pad compound is ceramic organic and it contains Graphene as well. As a result, they cost twice as much as the regular Shimano pads. I've also tested these pads on my own bike on some big mountain descents. They're pretty good! They have fantastic bite and modulation, and they're nice and quiet. Considering the price, are they 2x better than stock pads? Eh, no. Pog would have dropped Jonas on the final stage 4 descent with stock pads too. But they're cool, and when people notice them, they know you're a bike geek. After another big win, Jasper ' Disaster The Master' Philipsen really looks like the dominant sprinter we saw last year. His leadout was dialed and his sprint was untouchable. Now he's equal with Bini on stage wins and within striking distance of taking the Green Jersey. The final few intermediate sprints in the Tour could get interesting! I do find it interesting that his team seems to only ride the Aeroad, even on big mountain stages rather than the lighter Canyon Ultimate. Obviously, since they're a Classics and sprint team, they only target flat and hilly stages, so maybe they just don't care. What's more likely is that the Aeroad is light enough that it makes the Ultimate unnecessary. Let's talk about chain lube for a sec. Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard that waxed chains are the bee's knees. They're more efficient, cleaner, and they reduce wear. In the pro peloton though, there aren't many riders or teams using hot melt wax where the chain is removed and placed in a pot of melted wax. It makes sense. Most riders have 4 bikes one race, one spare, one TT, one spare TT , and many riders have even more. That's a lot of chains to wax! Instead, many teams use a drip wax lube, essentially a wax emulsion, that gets close to the performance of hot melt wax but is much easier to apply. Also, since this is my last chance it's the final sprint stage , I must comment on Jasper's sunglasses — the Oakley Kato. Are these the ugliest sunglasses in the pro peloton? Some people think so. I'm on the fence. I actually think Mark Cavendish pulls them off. Maybe it's the black tint that's not working? Mathieu van der Poel even put them on for a few stages. The field of view they provide is supposed to be incredible, so maybe that's what sprinters want when they're dicing through a chaotic bunch sprint. Photo: Getty Images. The breakaway finally made it today! Richard Carapaz attacked on the second to last climb and held on to the finish. After crashing out in the first stage last year, this has been a much better Tour for the Ecuadorian rider, taking the Yellow Jersey after stage 3 and his first stage win today. With this update, Cannondale followed the trend of creating 'one bike to rule them all. Interesting tidbit — 'Lab71' is Cannondale's top-of-the-line frame offering similar to Specialized's S-Works moniker which is about 40 grams lighter than the standard SuperSix Hi-Mod frame. EF has been somewhat transparent regarding this, and the internet has plenty of theories as to why the team is using Hi-Mod frames. Some think the lighter Lab71 frames aren't as stiff or durable as the Hi-Mod frames. Perhaps Cannondale can't manufacture enough Lab71s to meet the team's needs. Maybe EF just wants to keep their budget tight with 'cheaper' frames. Who knows. Only EF insiders do. Something else I find interesting — this is yet another win for Shimano Dura-Ace, but it's the first winning Shimano bike that isn't running Shimano cranks. Victor Campenaerts won his first-ever Tour stage, and this win might be one of my favorites. Victor might be the peloton's biggest marginal gains geek. He waxes his own chains and is always trying weird and geeky things to try and gain an edge. I've brought up handlebar setup several times this year and Victor was one of the first to really push the limits with super narrow bars and turned in levers to improve his aerodynamics. Look at the image above, and you'll see just how far his levers are turned in. Victor is often seen attacking right from the gun and driving breakaways while tucked into the most aerodynamic riding position — hands on the hoods with his forearms parallel to the ground. Narrow bars his are currently cm and turned in levers help keep his frontal area small and efficient. Photos: Photo News Agency. Their wheel situation is pretty strange because they combine Shimano drivetrains with Zipp wheels a SRAM-owned company. But they technically aren't sponsored by Zipp either. However, the team seems to only use Oquo wheels for photos while riders use the Zipps when racing. Victor rode the Zipp NSW, which uses Zipp's proprietary 'Sawtooth' rim profile to provide the best combo of aero efficiency and crosswind stability. Supposedly, this is because there aren't enough Oquo wheels to go around, but I have to wonder if the team has found the Zipps to be faster. Stop, stop! They're already dead! Tadej Pogacar just annihilated everyone on the final climb to score his fourth stage win, and I couldn't help but ask for mercy for the other riders. Also, Jonas was on a 1x! Would you prefer the V4Rs or the S5? I'm less sure these days. Colnago supposedly made the V4Rs to address Tadej's requests for a better bike to win the Tour. It's huge for a traditional all-Italian brand like Colnago to seek foreign help. Clearly, they wanted to win and the bike is fast. Under Tadej, it's unbeatable. Tadej has also made several small changes to his setup in the pursuit of marginal gains. A big or small one I want to point out is his move to mm crank arms. Tadej went from His decisions are definitely going to be studied by his competitors. We'll see how many start copying him next year. I'd love to talk about another bike, but alas, Tadej is far and away the best rider and he just keeps winning. Is he on the best machine? This is the 5th stage win for the Colnago V4Rs so Maybe I should buy one Tadej is just a winning machine. With the lead he had over 2nd place, he could have taken it easy and coasted in for the final time trial, but instead, he pushed hard, had a few sketchy moments, and won his 6th stage of the Tour. His team has made huge leaps forward in their time trial setup over the last year, and the Colnago TT1 Tadej is riding has every nearly mod possible thrown at it in the pursuit of speed. There's a lot more than I can cover in a few paragraphs, so let's hit some of the top highlights:.
