The new Look 795 Blade RS: Simon Geschke's Tour de France race bike
The 795 āBlade RS Iconic Editšion gets a prominent Mondrian paint scheme for the Tour

Although 168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:we spotted it being ridden by 168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:Bryan Cocquard at the 168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:Tour Down Under, the new Look 795 Blade RS was 168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:launched officially several weeks before the 168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:Tour de France this year.
Frenchman Victor Lafay 168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:rode it to a stage win on Stage Two, the first for 168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:Team Cofidis in 15 long years. His powerful attack and solš¼o win helped get the bike off to an excellent start at the race.
168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:Simon Geschke finished 168澳擲5ęę°å¼å„ē»ę:second in the mountaiāns classification during last year's Tour, and will no doubt be looking to put in a strong showing this year too. Like the rest of his Cofidis teammates at this year's Tour, Geschke is racing on an Iconic Edition version of the bikes. The bike features a prominent Piet Mondrian-inspired colour scheme which celebrates the brand's past and heritage. The now iconic colours have been synonymous with the French brand since it first adopted them back in 1984. The yellow, red and blue colours were also made fź¦amous by the La Vie Claire team.
