The 2025 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France begins on Saturday, the 5th of July, in Lille, France. It is the biggest bike race in the world and sees the very best cyclists from the sport's biggest teams do battle over 21 stages and, this year, a total dis✱tance of 3,320km.

If you want to know more about all 23 teams involved, head to our 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France team guide for a comprehensive breakdown.

This Tour de France bike guide looks at each Tour team's bikes and equipment in deptඣh. It can be hard to spot individua♛l bike brands in the peloton while the racing is on, so we have a list of all the individual components and equipment teams are using.

A lot of new components have been launched since last year, some very recently, so you can rely on this gui꧟de to be your ultimate up-t🗹o-date equipment guide for the race.

We have even taken a closer look at a few individual bikes pre-race, such as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonas Vingegaard's new aero bike, and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tadej Pogačar's wild-looking machine.

You can also check out our feature on how 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:much a Tour de France bike costs, where we have broken doꦡwn the overall cost of some of the most expensive machines in the race.

Team equipment table

Tour de France bikes: Team by team

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alpecin-Deceuninck

• Bikes: Canyon Aeroad CFR / Ultimate CFR / Speedmax (TT)
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc
• Wheels: Shimano Dura Ace
• Tyres: Pirelli P Zero TLR RS
• Clothing: Kalas
• Saddles: Selle Italia
• Finishing Kit: Canyon / Selle Italia
• Computers: Wahoo

Alpecin-Deceuninck's equipment package hasn't changed for a long time and the team has enjoyed a lot of success𒅌 aboard their Canyon Aeroad bikes.

The team also technically has the Caܫnyon Ultimate all-rounder to use alongside the Aero model, but we hardly e🌸ver see any team riders using it.

Th🐬e main talking point for this year for the team and its equipment came at the start of the year when they sw𝐆itched to Pirelli tyres from Vittoria.

Canyon also launched the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:custom paint programme MyCanyon this year, and we expect the teams' two𒅌-star riders at least to have custom-painted Aeroad𒅌s.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Arkéa B&B Hotels

• Bikes: Bianchi Oltre RC, Specialissima, Aquila (TT)
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
• Wheels: Vision Metron RS - 45 and 60
• Tyres: Vittoria Corsa Pro / Speed
• Clothing: Ekoi
• Saddles: Selle Italia
• Finishing Kit: Reparto course by Vision / FSA
• Computers: Wahoo

Arkéa - B&B Hotels have bee🌄n riding Bianchi bikes for two years and have two road models to choose from: the Oltre RC aero bike, and lightweight Specialissima. There's also the Aquila TT for time trials.

The Oltre RC aero bike has not been without controversy during its lifespan after mechanical issues resulting in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:snapped handlebars and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:issues at Paris-Roubaix. Bianchi responded to some of the allegations made 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:in a statement at the time.

We can't as of y🅘et tell if the team are using the new Vision Metron RS wheels, recent shots show them using their older, yet still cওapable SL wheels. Maybe they will come out for the Tour.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bahrain-Victorious

• Bikes: Merida Reacto, Merida Scultura, Merida Warp TT
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc
• Wheels: Vision Metron RS
• Tyres: Continental GP5000 S TR / TT
• Clothing: Alé / Valour
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: FSA, Vision
• Computers: Garmin

Bahrain-Victorious will be racing on the Merida Reacto aero bike and the Merida Scultura all-r🐈ounder for road stages during the Tour, and a Time Warp TT bike against the clock.

Like Arkéa B&B Hotels, they also use Dura-Ace groupsets, and we've seen them with the new Vision Metron RS wheels. They w💧ere one of the first squads to use the new RS Metron variants earlier in the year.

They pair these with Continental GP5000 S TR or TT tub𒐪eless tyres, a peloton favourite and now available in several versions.

The team has ridden on⭕ special edition paint jobs in years gone by, but as far a🐈s we know, this year they are riding their stock-painted bikes.

Cofidis

• Bikes: Look 795 Blade, 796 Monoblade RS (TT)
• Groupset: Campagnolo Super Record WR 13
• Wheels: Campagnolo Bora Ultra
• Tyres: Vittoria Corsa Pro / Speed
• Clothing: Exteondo
• Saddles: Selle Italia
• Finishing Kit: Look
• Computers: Wahoo

The French team Cofidis use frames from the French manufacturer Look, they will also be racing on new custom-painted frames for this year's race, as sh📖own above.

Cofidis are currently the only WorldTour team to use Campagnolo equipment, using the Italian brand's recently released 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:13-speed electronic wireless groupset and Bora Ultra wheels.

Fun f🎉act: Campagn𒁏olo groupsets have claimed the most overall Tour wins in history.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale

• Bikes: Van Rysel RCR-F / XCR time trial bike
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc 12 Speed
• Wheels: SwissSide Hadron
• Tyres: Continental GP5000 S TR / TT / Aero 111
• Clothing: Van Rysel
• Saddles: Fizik
• Finishing Kit: Deda / Van Rysel
• Computers: Wahoo

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale have a long-tꦑerm agreement and project in place with Decathlon and their own brand Van Rysel bikes.

The team races on the aggressive and ꧋aero RCR-F frame alongside Swisside wheels and Continental tyres.

The team uses the Continental Aero 111 tyre, which was devel🏅oped specifically in conjunction with Swissside, the team's wheel part🥂ner. Other teams use the tyres as well, but they have been optimised around AG2R's specific wheels, which should provide a small advantage.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:EF Education-EasyPost

• Bikes: Cannondale SuperSix Evo LAB 71, SystemSix, SuperSlice (TT)
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc 12 Speed
• Wheels: Vision Metron RS
• Tyres: Vittoria Corsa Pro / Speed
• Clothing: Rapha
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: FSA, Vision
• Computers: Wahoo

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:EF Education-EasyPost race on the Cannondale SuperSix Evo LAB 71 frame, and are famous for limited edition paint jobs or collaborations in big races. Their team edition frame also just became available for the pub🐭lic to buy.

The team also have the option to race on the aero SystemSix frame, but it's rarely seen; riders seem to stick to the SuperSix. That is with the exception of aero-obsessed Irish rider Ben Healy. The team also have access to one of the fastest helmets around, the new 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:POC Procen Air.

Elsewhere, EF📖 are another Shimano tea⛦m, using Dura-Ace equipment, though they buy their own parts as they're not directly sponsored, and they use FSA power meter chainsets.

Not much has changed for the team, except the wheels; like a few other teams, they are now using t🍃he lighter, carbon-spoked Vision Metron RS wheels.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Groupama-FDJ

• Bikes: Wilier Zero SLR, Wilier Filante SLR, Wilier Supersonica SLR TT
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc 12 Speed
• Wheels: Miche Kleos
• Tyres: Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR / TT
• Clothing: Alé
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: Wilier
• Computers: Garmin

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Groupama-FDJ switched to Wilier bikes for 🔴the 2024 season and r𒐪olled out a fairly classy, predominantly white and blue paint job.

The team races on the Zero and Filante SLR road bikes and has access to the very pricey 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Supersonica SLR time trial bike too.

Another big change for 2025 was the team's switch from Shimano Dura-Ace wheels to Miche Kleos wheels and small parts. You can read about the mechanics of this switch in our168澳洲5最新开奖结果: interview with the Miche CEO.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ineos Grenadiers

• Bikes: Pinarello Dogma F, Bolide (TT)
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12 Speed
• Wheels: Shimano Dura-Ace (Princeton Carbonworks / Tactic and Aerocoach will be present as non-sponsored additions)
• Tyres: Continental GP5000 S TR / TT / Aero 111
• Clothing: Gobik
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: MOST
• Computers: Garmin

Pinare🧔llo is Ineos-Grenadiers' long-term bike sponsor and the team have ridden on the Italian bikes for over🉐 a decade.

Nothing at face value has changed for the British squad; the team's equipment package, which is mostly from Shimano (groupsets and wheels)💜, remains unchanged.

Ineos Grenadiers have been known to change to aftermarket, special wheels for key stages of the race or for time trials, such as the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:£1000 Tactic hubs and Princeton wheels we sometimes see them use.

The team do use custom printed 3D handlebars and even drop bars on occasion, something we learnt about when we spoke with 168澳洲😼5最新开奖结果:Dimi𒁏tris Katsanis at Metron Composites this year.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Intermarché - Wanty

• Bikes: Cube Litening Aero C:68X, Aerium C:68 (TT)
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc
• Wheels: Newmen
• Tyres: Hutchinson Blackbird Race / Allseason
• Clothing: Verge / Gaerne
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: Cube
• Computers: Bryton

Intermarch&e💝acute; - Wanty has stuck to a fairly standard - even unexciting dare we say it -equipment setup for the last few years.

The team use Cube Litening road frames with Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets and Newmen wheels with Hutchin𝓰son Blackbird race tyres.

Intermache bikes, however, are always worth looking at, the team are clearly switched on regarding aerodynamic optimisations and the team's riders often have aero, agressive handlebar setups and the team is unique in using a special hidden tubeless valve system which means their wheels valves don't hit thꦍe air, resulting in a small gain.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Israel-Premier Tech

• Bikes: Factor Ostro / O2 VAM / Hanzo TT Bike / Prototype
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
• Wheels: Black Inc.
• Tyres: Continental GP5000 S TR / TT
• Clothing: Ekoi
• Saddles: Selle Italia
• Finishing Kit: Black Inc.
• Computers: Garmin

Israel-Premier Tech uses Factor bikes and can choose between two road models, the aero Ostro and the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:lightweight O2 VAM. They race on the Hanzo model for time trials.

The team made big waves this year at the Dauphine when a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:crazy looking aero road bike appeared, which Jake Stewart promptly won🌜 a stage on. We don't know much about it yet.

The team's wheels and integrated handlebars and stems are from Black Inc, a subsidiary brand of Factor. You can also read our exclusive in-depth interview with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Factor founder Rob Gitelis for i♉nsight into the bike industry and carꦅbon frame construction.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lidl-Trek

• Bikes: Trek Madone, Emonda, Domane, Speed Concept (TT)
• Groupset: SRAM Red AXS
• Wheels: Bontrager Aeolus
• Tyres: Pirelli P Zero
• Clothing: Santini
• Saddles: Bontrager
• Finishing Kit: Bontrager
• Computers: Wahoo

Lidl-Trek's equipment package has been consistent for a little while now. The team use Trek Madone road frames for pretty much everything, rarely, if ever, using the morꦰe comfortable Domane frame.

The team use SRAM Red AXS groupsets, which launched last year, and has been using the groupsets 1X13 XPLR gravel version for the spring classics and rough♌er races.

Trek often come up with interesting paint jobs, and the team is r🧸iding new, custom-pain🐭ted bikes for this year's Tour.

Lotto is a non-WorldT♉our team who have secured a wildcard place🐎 at this year's race. The team races on Spanish Orbea bikes and can choose between the Orca and Orca Aero models. They also use the Ordu time trial bike against the clock.

The tꦫeam use Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets along with OQUO wheels and Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres. OQUO has recently released brand new road wheels with very light silver hubs. Keep ꦍan eye out for those!

The team also use aftermarket Galfer brake discs and lockrings, which we spotted at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Opening Weekend.

The team will be gunnin𒊎g for victory and supporting star rider Arnaud De Lie in hisᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ quest for a stage win.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Movistar Team

• Bikes: Canyon Aeroad CFR, Ultimate CFR, Speedmax CFR (TT)
• Groupset: SRAM Red AXS
• Wheels: Zipp - various options
• Tyres: Continental GP5000 S TR / TT
• Clothing: Gobik / BORN
• Saddles: Fizik
• Finishing Kit: Canyon
• Computers: Garmin

Movistar is another team, like Ineos Grenadiers, who have been with the same bike supplier for a long time, and 2025 marks the 12th year of their Can🍸yon partnership.

The Spani🍌sh s🍬quad has more climbers than Alpecin-Deceuninck, but still almost uses the aero Aeroad model from Canyon over the Ultimate.

The team also use the SRAM Red AXS groupset and Zipp ✨wheels, Zipp is also owned by SRAM.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:RedBull-Bora-Hansgrohe

• Bikes: Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8, Specialized S-Works Shiv TT

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:RedBull-Bora-Hansgrohe uses the S-Works Tarmac SL8 frame from Specialized as well as Roval wheels, notably the recently released 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rapide CLX III and Sprint wheels.

Bora has a very similar package to Soudal-QuickStep, but they use SRAM Red AXS groupsets compa🐷red to the Belgian 💖outfit's Shimano Dura-Ace.

Dan Bigham is also the performance engineer at Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe now, so we expect to see some modifications and tricks coming from him, perhaps in the uphill timeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ-trial on stage 13.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Soudal-QuickStep

• Computers: Garmin

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Soudal-QuickStep has ridden Specialized bikes for a long time now and rides the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tarmac SL8 model in the top-tier S-Works version.

The team or 'Wolfpack' as they like to be known, will be💫 built around Remco Evenepoel's tilt at the overall classification this year. The Belgian, ♒who is also the World, Olympic and Belgian Time Trial Champion, has a custom-painted rainbow Shiv TT bike to use.

Elsewhere the team uses Dura-Ace groupse🐠ts from Shimano, along with Roval finishing kit by Specialized. We also expect to see Roval's Rapide CLX III and Sprint wheels being used during the race.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team Jayco-AlUla

• Bikes: Propel Advanced SL, TCR Advanced SL, Trinity (TT)
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2

• Saddles: Cadex
• Finishing Kit: Cadex
• Computers: Wahoo

Te💃am Jayco AlUla race on Giant bikes, with Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets and w💧heels and componentry from Cadex, a subsidiary brand of Giant.

The team can choose between the aero-focused Propel Advanced model or the longstanding all-rounder, the TCR Advanced SL, which 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:received an update last year.

The team's eye-catching paint jobs have drawn attention this year and look great out on the road. Look ouಞt for Luke Plapp's aero road setup, with a very narrow front end.

The team are now partnered with Maap for race kit, look out for the team's grey co𓂃loured shorts in the bunch.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Picnic-PostNL

• Bikes: Lapierre Xelius DRS / Aerostorm DRS TT bike
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
• Wheels: Ursus Proxima
• Tyres: Vittoria Corsa Pro / Speed
• Clothing: Nalini
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: Lapierre
• Computers: Wahoo

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Picnic-PostNL switched from Scot🅰t to Lapierre bi🧔kes at the start of this year and races on the Xelius DRS.

The team also partnered with Iꦏtalian brand Ursus as a wheel partner, making for quite a big change. The brand provides it's Proxima race wheels in a range of depths, although we have it on good authority that a new wheelset might be rolled out at some point during the Tour.

Shimano Dura-Ac𝄹e takes care of the groupset package, and the team use Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres, comfortably some of the fastest around.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team TotalEnergies

• Bikes: Enve Melee / Specialized S-Works Shiv TT
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
• Wheels: Enve SES - range of depths
• Tyres: Continental GP5000 S TR / TT / Aero 111
• Clothing: Bioracer
• Saddles: Selle Italia
• Finishing Kit: Enve
• Computers: Garmin

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team TotalEnergies is another non-World Tour team w𓆉ho have an entry for this year's race.

Th🦄e squad races on Enve Melee carbon frames with Enve wheels, finishing kits and Shimano꧂ Dura-Ace wheels.

The team are unique in using another brand of time trial frame, Enve doesn't make a TTꦍ bike, so the squad uses the Shiv TT, courtesy of its former bike sponsor, Specialized, to race time trials on.

We don't yet know ♔if the team will also be able to benefit from the new Env🦂e SES 4.5 Pro wheels being used by Team UAE, more on this below.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team Visma - Lease a Bike

• Bikes: Cervélo S5, R5, Caledonia, P5 (TT)
• Groupset: SRAM Red AXS
• Wheels: Reserve
• Tyres: Vittoria Corsa Pro / Speed
• Clothing: Yellow B / Nike
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: Vision / Cervelo
• Computers: Garmin

Visma-Lease a Bike will be aiming to dethrone reigning champion Tadej Pogačar this year.

The 🎃team has an aero and lightweight all-rounder to use. The S5 is the team's aero model, and the R5 ♌is the climbing bike.

However, the brand, to an extent, caught us napping and has released new versions of both bikes just be🧜fore the Tour. The bikes have received tweaks and more subtle improvements as far as we can tell.

Here's Jonas Vingegaard's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:prototype race bike. And Matteo Jorgenson's lightweight 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cervelo R5.

Visma are famed for leaving no stone unturned regarding equipment, and we expect them to use 1x 💟drivetrain systems, new wheels and hubs on at least🌃 one stage, as well as plenty of other tech hacks and optimisations.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tudor Pro Cycling

• Bikes: BMC Teammachine R 01 / Masterpiece
• Groupset: SRAM Red AXS
• Wheels: DT Swiss
• Tyres: Schwalbe Pro One
• Clothing: Assos
• Saddles: Selle Italia
• Finishing Kit: BMC
• Computers: Wahoo

Tudor Pro Cycling, headed up by retired Tour star Fabian Canc൩ellara, are another of the non-WorldTour squads at the race. Do𝕴n't be fooled, though; they have some very nice bikes and kit.

The team races on Swiss BMC bikes, usually the Teammachine R 01; however, certain star riders have been racing on the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:'Masterpiece' edition this year, which doesn't feature any paintജ and uses a special carbon layup. If you see an all-black bike with silver graphics and no paint, it's this.

The team is also partnered with Assos, in our opinion one of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:best cycling clothing brands around, a nice morale boost for any rider.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UAE Team Emirates - XRG

• Bikes: Colnago Y1RS / V5Rs, TT1 (TT)
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 / Carbon-Ti chainrings and rotors
• Wheels: Enve SES Pro
• Tyres: Continental GP5000 S TR / TT / Archetype
• Clothing: Pissei
• Saddles: Fizik
• Finishing Kit: Colnago
• Computers: Wahoo

World Champion Tadej Pogačar looks to be in unstoppable form this year. He will aim to win his fourth Tour using his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Colnago Y1RS, the new Colnago a🅺ero bike; the lighter, more forgiving V5Rs, which he may use for the more mountainous stages; and the TT1 time trial model.

UAE Team Emirates uses Dura-Ace groupsets, plus Enve wheels and handlebars. Notably, the team have used 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:exotic Carbon Ti carbon chainrings and disc rotors to save even more weight.

The team's wheel sponsor Enve just released some brand new 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:SES 4.5 Pro wheels, which are lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic than the previous models. The team has been using them ♒most of the season already, but we now know what they are.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Uno-X Mobility

• Bikes: Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 / Dean TT bike
• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
• Wheels: DT Swiss
• Tyres: Continental GP5000 S TR / TT
• Clothing: Bioracer
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: Ridley / Deda
• Computers: Garmin

Uno-X Mobility switched from Dare to Ridley bikes for 2025, and the team races on the very aggressive 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Noah Fast 3.0 bike.

The team uses Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets and DT Swiss carbon fibre wheels fitted witဣh Continental GP500🔯0 tyres.

The team bikes are usual🅘ly also fitted with aero FSA chainrings and CeramicSpeed OSPW 🦹pulley systems.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:XDS Astana Team

• Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc 12 Speed
• Wheels: Vision Metron RS
• Tyres: Vittoria Corsa Pro / Speed
• Clothing: Biemme
• Saddles: Prologo
• Finishing Kit: Vision
• Computers: Garmin

XDS Astana changed names at the end of last year after 🅰partnering with Chinese bike manufacturer XDS.

The team races on XDS AD9 and RS9 bikes, after switching from th💫e Wilier bik🏅es they used last year.

The team's component selection remains largely the same with Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets, the new Vision Metron RS wheels and Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres, some of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:best road bike tyres around.

The other key kit change is the swi🃏tch to Vision handlebars to go with the XDS bikes.

Not much is known about the XDS bikes curre🌳ntly, hopefully that will change this year with the exposu🐓re the Tour de France brings.

Tour tech predictions

The Tour is the sport of cycling's biggest shop window, it's a great opportunity for marketing, s꧅howing products off and gaining attention.

We are constantly looking at new and unreleased kits, which helps us develop a sense of what's coming🔯 and what trends we can expect.

We are aware of a range of new road helmets that🅘 are going to be worn at the Tour, too, so 𓆉look out for those.

Wheelsets in particular have got a lot lighter over the last few years, deep-section aero wheels with wide and round aero profiles are now not so very far off th🔥e weights of all-out climbing wheels of old.

This really brings bike weights doꦯwn, and we are arriving at the point where aero race bikes with not much in the way of aerodynamic concessions are at the UCI 6.8kg minimum weight limit.

We may see new parts, components, and kits appear during the Tour. Everything from optimised new clothing to ne♎w sunglasses and cycling shoes, as well as bike components. We will be covering everything we spot in detail.

Sometimes🤡 things are so secret or closely guarded that we don't even know they are being used. For example, the new SRAM Red AXS crank arms that Jonas Vingegaard ❀was using this time last year. Maybe this time next year, we will know about some of the super secret stuff from this year's race.
