Extracting the best performance out of tyres has always been something of a dark art within pro cycling. In years gone by, team mechanics would reportedly age the team’s tubular tyres in cellars, but at least (almost) everyone used the same tech. These days, mechanics at the Tour de France have to manage the varying choices (and restraints) of individual riders, team performance directors and...

The men’s Tour de France has come to an end once more, with the riders rolling onto the Champs-Élysées under the warm Parisian sun. But as the dust settled on Jonas Vingegaard’s victory, we began thinking about the centenary edition, which, just a decade ago, was won by Chris Froome. Many things might look the same, but the Tour-winning bike has changed significantly from 2013 to 2023. From...

My role exposes me to lots of shiny new tech, but I’ve made a conscious effort to be less acquisitive this year. Being honest, I have pretty much all the kit I could ever need for my riding, and I’m struggling to stuff any more into my pokey wee hoose. As such, I’m bringing you a tighter selection of the kit that has impressed me most in the past 12-months – they’re all products I’ve used for...

While the Tour de France yellow jersey is one of sport’s most fabled prizes, there is more than just prestige up for grabs at the 110th edition of the race in 2023. Alongside the yellow, green, polka dot and white jerseys, the Tour de France had a €2,282,000 prize pot to give out in 2022. This included a €500,000 overall prize for champion Jonas Vingegaard (Team Jumbo-Visma). The Dane received...

The award for the wildest paintjob at the Tour de France had been handed out before the race even started in Copenhagen, after the EF Education-EasyPost team unveil another collaboration between kit sponsor Rapha and streetwear brand Palace.

Colnago has launched the V4Rs, the final rendition of the Colnago Prototipo ridden by Tadej Pogačar through the 2022 season and, unsurprisingly, an evolution of the V3Rs. The Colnago V3Rs, launched in 2019, is a proven race-winner, being the bike of choice for the UAE Team Emirates of Pogačar, who won the 2021 Tour de France aboard the bike. Colnago says it set out to improve the V3Rs on all...

Once again, we have reached the end of the working week, which means it’s time for First Look Friday. The sunny weather of the past month has given way to a more familiar drizzle in the UK, and while optimists will say the trails needed some moisture, I for one am missing the consistent sunshine and a clean bike.

The Tour de France is the most important race of the year, so teams and riders use the best and latest equipment. Given that, you might think the answer to the question “How much does a Tour de France bike weigh?” would be a simple one – “Bang on the UCI minimum bike weight of 6.8kg.” The halcyon days of sub-5kg off-the-shelf road bikes are long gone, however. While many lay blame at the feet...

We’ve got a secret to tell you: bikes are getting heavier. Weight weenies had their glory days through the noughties, when top-tier bikes were ever-increasingly focussed on shedding grams. Remember the likes of the 5.98kg Cervélo R5Ca and its 727g frame? And don’t forget the original Trek Emonda, which dipped down to a claimed 690g for the frame when it first arrived ahead of the 2014 Tour de...

The 2023 Tour de France covers 3,404km (2,115 miles) over its 21 stages. That’s 54km more than last year’s Tour. However, the bigger news is that time trial kilometres are down from two time trials totalling 53km last year (including the Prologue) to just one at 22.4km this year. It finishes at 974m in altitude and has a 2.5km Cat 2 climb to the finish, with an average 9.4 per cent...

From featherweight mountain goats to power-packed sprinters, there is no catch-all shape and size for professional cyclists. But particularly tall pro Grand Tour cyclists are the rarity – hauling your body over the mountains generally favours lighter riders.
