The bikes of the WorldTour peloton 2024 — your definitive guide to what the top pro cycling teams are riding this year

First Published Jan 17, 2024

The 2024 professional road cycling season has kicked off with the Santos Tour Down Under, which means it's time to take a look at the bikes and equipment being ridden by the best riders in the world in 2024. 

In 2024, the men's WorldTour is made up of 18 teams (no changes from the previous year) and there are 15 teams on the women's WorldTour. 

Of the men's teams, 14 are using Shimano groupsets, while four are riding with SRAM's Red eTap AXS groupset (still the current version of the latter, but we suspect that may change some time in 2024). This year, Bora-Hansgrohe has opted for SRAM alongside Visma-Lease a Bike, Lidl-Trek and Movistar. 

AG2R Citroën, now Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale, was the only WorldTour team using Campagnolo components in 2023. Their transition to Shimano groupsets means that for the first time in over 70 years, no teams in the men's WorldTour peloton are using Campagnolo this season.

A surprising change for 2024 is the French team Groupama-FDJ's switch from Lapierre bikes to the Italian brand Wilier Triestina, concluding a partnership that lasted over two decades.

FSA's Vision-branded wheels have doubled their presence in the WorldTour peloton, with four teams now on Vision hoops. 

Without further ado, let's have a look at the bikes. We've listed teams with both men's and women's squads and just men's squads in alphabetical order, plus the remaining three women's-only teams at the end... 

Alpecin-Deceuninck

> Canyon unveils Mathieu van der Poel edition Aeroad CFR

Although Alpecin-Deceuninck was only promoted to WorldTour level in 2023, it boasts a lineup that includes World Champion Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen.

In 2024, they remain committed to a proven strategy and are continuing to ride Canyon bikes equipped with Shimano groupsets. The weapons of choice are the Canyon Aeroad CFR and Speedmax CF SLX TT bike. 

The team were seen riding an updated Aeroad last year with subtle changes, which hasn't yet been made available to the public.

Spec-wise, the team run Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2  groupset and wheels. The tyres are Vittoria – usually the  Vittoria Corsa Pro  – and the team sits on Selle Italia saddles. 

Arkéa-B&B Hotels

> Bianchi combines light weight and aero credentials with updated Specialissima road bike

This season, French team Arkéa-Samsic will become Arkéa-B&B Hotels, while maintaining their partnership with Bianchi as the bike sponsor following Bianchi's return to the WorldTour last season. 

The team has access to the Oltre RC, recently updated Specialissima and Aquilla TT models, and they are continuing to use Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets this season. 

Changes can be seen in the wheel and tyre selection, as the bikes now feature Vision wheels and Vittoria tyres, marking a departure from Shimano wheels and Continental tyres last season. 

Like Alpecin-Deceuninck, the team will use Selle Italia saddles. 

Astana Qazaqstan

> What a beauty! Check out Astana’s Wilier Zero SLR road bike

Mark Cavendish is back for another year with the Kazakh team, and they are continuing with Wilier Triestina bikes: the Zero SLR and Filante SLR models. For time trials, the team swaps onto the Wilier Turbine.

Astana has been supported by Wilier Triestina since the 2019 season, riding what is arguably one of the best-looking bikes in the pro peloton, complete with Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets. 

It appears that the Hed/Corima debacle - where the team were using Hed wheels despite being sponsored by the latter - is over, and one of the biggest changes to the team is that Vision is the new official wheel sponsor. Those wheels are equipped with Vittoria tyres. 

They will also use Prologo saddles and Garmin head units. 

Bahrain Victorious

Bahrain Victorious are using the same trusted Merida bikes as last year, with the Reacto and Scultura road bikes and Warp TT models forming the line-up. The team has moved away from the black, red and orange colour scheme, opting instead for the pearl finish and white kit showcased during the Tour de France 2023 as a more permanent choice. 

Shimano Dura-Ace remains the groupset, the wheels are Vision with Continental GP5000 tyres, the saddles Prologo and finishing kit is handled by FSA.

Bora-Hansgrohe

Despite Peter Sagan retiring as a professional road cyclist at the end of last season, Specialized remains the bike sponsor for Bora-Hansgrohe, a partnership that has continued since 2017. 

Specialized continues to supply it all: the Tarmac SL8 for the road, Shiv TT for the time trials, Roval wheels and Specialized tyres. 

This year sees the team switch to SRAM groupsets, from Shimano, and the team now also uses SRAM-owned Hammerhead bike computers. 

Cofidis rode the Look 795 Blade RS road bike throughout the entirety of last season, even though it was only officially released on 21 June 2023. The team will continue using bikes from the French brand for the upcoming season. 

Cofidis also continue to use Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets and another French brand, Corima, as the wheel sponsor, as well as Michelin tyres. 

The team are also using SRM power meters, Selle Italia saddles and Wahoo bike computers. 

Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale

Previously known as AG2R Citroën Team, Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale will be riding Van Rysel road bikes in 2024. If you want one for yourself the prices aren't absolutely other-worldly either, with the very top-tier model costing £8.5k.

The team will ride Van Rysel RCR road bikes, XCR time trial bikes and new Van Rysel kit and accessories. 

> 2024 Van Rysel road bikes and kit for newly-named Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale unveiled

AG2R Citroën was the only WorldTour team running a Campagnolo groupset in 2023, so Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale's switch to Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets means that no teams are using Campagnolo groupsets in the WorldTour peloton this season. 

The team bikes are complete with SwissSide wheels, Continental GP5000 tyres, Fizik saddles and a Wahoo bike computer. 

EF Education-EasyPost

If you’re looking for the most distinctive bike in the pro peloton, EF Pro Cycling’s Cannondale SuperSix EVO has to be in with a big shout. 

Although Lab71 is emblazoned on the frame, the UCI frame sticker says CANN-S6HM, and that refers to the SuperSix EVO Hi-Mod rather than the SuperSix EVO Lab71.

The American team sticks to the same bunch of sponsors as before: Cannondale bikes with Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets, FSA's Vision brand wheels, Vittoria tyres and Prologo saddles.

Groupama-FDJ

Another big change in the WorldTour peloton is Groupama-FDJ's switch from Lapierre bikes to the Italian bike brand Wilier Triestina for 2024. This puts an end to a partnership that lasted over two decades. 

The team will use the Wilier Triestina Filante SLR road bike and the Turbine for time trials, equipped with Shimano groupsets and wheels, Continental tyres and a Prologo saddle. 

Ineos Grenadiers

Another team with very few changes is Ineos Grenadiers, who continue to ride the Pinarello Dogma F and the Bolide TT.

The groupsets are Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 and the wheels are usually from Shimano too – although the team has been known to dip into the Lightweight and Princeton ranges in its search for those famous marginal gains. 

The tyres are Continental and the finishing kit is from Pinarello's MOST brand, while the team has swapped from the Italian brand Fizik to Prologo saddles. 

The biggest change for the Grenadiers is a shift in their kit sponsor, changing from Bioracer to Spanish sportswear brand Gobik. 

Intermarché-Wanty

It's business as usual for Intermarché-Wanty as the Belgian team continues to ride Cube bikes equipped with Shimano groupsets, Newmen wheels and Prologo saddles.

Riders can choose either the super-light Cube Litening Air C:68X or the Litening C:68X Aero for lower drag. The Aerium C:68 TT is there for time trials. 

The Trek Madone and Emonda road bikes are the usual weapons of choice for Lidl-Trek and leaked images suggest we could see a new Trek Emonda released this year. The Trek Speed Concept is used for time trials. 

SRAM supplies the groupsets, Trek's Bontrager brand provides pretty much everything else and the tyres are from Pirelli. 

Both the men's and women's WorldTour teams are equipped with the same bikes and equipment. 

Movistar continues to ride Canyon bikes. They have access to the lightweight Ultimate and the aero-optimised Aeroad, and there are only minor changes of equipment from previous seasons. 

Equipment is an entirely SRAM-owned affair, with the team using Red AXS groupsets, Zipp wheels and Time pedals, switching from Look. 

Finishing off their bikes are Continental tyres, Fizik saddles and Garmin bike computers. 

Movistar have both a men's and women's WorldTour team, and like Lidl-Trek, they can be seen using the same bikes and equipment. 

Soudal Quick-Step

Soudal-Quickstep will race the 2024 season with trusty Specialized bikes again. Like Bora-Hansgrohe, they will be riding the Tarmac SL8. 

Nothing else has changed here, and the team is sticking to Roval wheels, Specialized saddles, tyres and finishing kit.

> All new Roubaix SL8 is the "smoothest" and fastest endurance road bike ever, claims Specialized

Groupsets are still from Shimano, and the riders will be using Garmin bike computers. 

Team dsm-firmenich PostNL

Scott returns to provide the DSM men's and women's teams with bikes, and the Foil RC is the most popular choice. With two new title sponsors, there have been some changes to the bike's livery, but that's where the changes end. 

The team are still opting for Shimano groupsets and wheels, and wrapped on them are Vittoria tyres. Scott’s subsidiary Syncros is also providing all of the finishing kit, including the saddles, and the riders are using Wahoo bike computers. 

Team Jayco AlUla

Team Jayco AlUIa kit and bikes have undergone a colour transformation but the bikes stay the same with riders on the Giant Propel  Advanced SL (above), TCR Advanced SL and Trinity TT bikes. 

Wheels and saddles are from Giant's Cadex brand, and Shimano is the main equipment partner supplying Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets. 

The women's WorldTour team, Liv AlUla Jayco, are riding Liv Langma Advanced SL Disc road bikes again, equipped with Shimano groupsets plus Cadex wheels and saddles. 

Team Visma | Lease a Bike

> Which Tour de France superbike is the best? Pinarello vs Specialized vs Colnago vs Cervelo

Despite the transition from Jumbo to Lease a Bike as the sponsor, Cervélo remains the bike supplier for both the men's and women's teams, maintaining the iconic black and yellow colour scheme in their kit and bikes. Although, notably the S5 has received a distinctive new paint job.

SRAM remains the groupset sponsor, and the team ride Reserve hoops and Vittoria tyres. The bikes are also equipped with Fizik saddles. 

UAE Team Emirates

UAE Team Emirates will be riding the Colnago V4RS in a new livery in 2024. It's still black with white and red accents, it's just that everything has been given a bit of a rejig.

After making the switch from a Campagnolo to Shimano groupset last season, UAE Team Emirates is sticking with Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets in 2024.  

They are also still using ENVE wheels with Continental tyres and a Prologo saddle. The handlebars and stem are from Enve too with more riders from the team likely to be using the one-piece aero handlebar that Tadej Pogačar used last season. 

Women's WorldTour teams

Canyon//sram racing.

Canyon has supported CANYON//SRAM Racing since 2016. For 2024, they remain on the Canyon Aeroad CFR and Speedmax CF SLX TT bike. 

Spec-wise, the team run SRAM's Red AXS groupset and Zipp wheels, and the tyres are Schwalbe.

Human Powered Health 

Human Powered Health has revamped their squad this season, introducing nine new riders to their 16-rider roster. This year they are making a transition from Felt bikes to the Factor Ostro Vam, equipped with a SRAM groupset, Black Inc wheels and integrated barstem, and Goodyear tyres.

Team SD Worx

Team SD Worx has been working with Specialized since 2014, and this partnership has been extended through to 2028. 

The team ride the updated Specialized Tarmac SL8 with a SRAM Red AXS groupset. They are sticking to Roval wheels and Specialized tyres.

No Campag at all in the world tour. I really wonder if they are close to collapse. Their 'innovation' seems late to the party with their latest wireless SR groupset. Nothing cheaper to compete with Sram Rival or Shimano 105 which are both electronic means unless you're buying a bike that costs 7-8k minimum you're unlikely to see it anywhere.   

Even the other big product of wheels are pretty much average for the price. A set of Bora Ultra are fantastic wheels but world beating ? Not really. A set of Rovals would be a better investment imo.   

its a shame Campagnolo have disappeared from the Pro Tour. If they never returned it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Odd take.  Since when as has the Tour been representative of whats popular at retail.

And since when have Campy cared about competing with Sram and Shimano at the low end? (ie 105!)

1st point. The pro tour is the only obvious window to showcase their products. In a very competitive market it's the reason companies sponsor teams.   

2nd. Yes they have. They used to have a very decent line up from Super Record down to Centaur with Chorus, Potenza and Athena . Now it's Super Record, Record - if you can ever find it - and Chorus. That is it!!  And they are all much more expensive than their direct competitor from Sram or Shimano. Even the top of the range Italian bikes where it was almost a cycling faux pas to fit with anything but Campag come more often with better value and better functioning Red or Dura Ace.   

Its like living in the world where people are buying Teslas and EVs, Campag decides to sell nothing but fuel guzzling super cars but not only that, fail to market them in a way that makes them desirable. At least in a world where a Ferrari or Lambo can be judged on its performance a groupset is only as good as its rider and in this case it's no better or worse than a plastic box of batteries on wheels 

I think the way I read your comment was that regardless of Pro Tour participation, there's no consumer level stuff right now from Campagnolo. I'm guessing that most of the Shimano & SRAM revenue & profit comes from their low-mid ranges with volume, fed by the halo effect and trickle-down tech from Dura Ace & Red. Campagnolo will have high value, high margin and low volume sales from Super Record, but ultimately may find they need some sub-£600 groupsets to keep the lights on, it's unlikely they'll survive as a boutique brand on high end alone. 

In a nutshell. When you consider Shimanos profits fell 40% and that's with both the bike and fishing reel sales. Away from road and mountain bikes they still overwhelmingly have more bikes fitted with their kit than anyone. They are the pulse of the bike market worldwide. If they struggle it speaks volumes for bike sales as a whole. Campagnolo have seen their market share squeezed to the extreme. 

The thing that amazed me the most - go look at Colnagos website. Their flagship model has always been the C series. The first pic you get of one and it's got Sram Red on it. Not Campag! I'd expect the top prestige Italian brands to stick together but nope. Not Colnago, not Pinarello, Wilier or even Italian thoroughbred Basso. For their signature series they exclusively partnered with Shimano FFS!! It's like even the Italians don't want to use Campag no more .   

If not many bikes are sold with it on, that means you have to make a conscious effort to go out of your way to purchase it onto a bike you build. There are people who do that who want the whole Italian everything. But consider this, bikes are things we ride. They can be dropped, crashed, but can just break. If I have to go searching high and low for a replacement derailleur or even just chain rings when they wear it's a bit off putting if I have to wait. I could order a sram or Shimano part and have it in days mostly cos it's plentiful. But even sometimes that can be hard to get just the right part. If the group set you own is so exclusive and rare to get parts for it's not going to make buyers feel very confident about buying in tbe first place. 

Smoggysteve wrote: No Campag at all in the world tour. I really wonder if they are close to collapse.

FFS this sh*t again.

Campagnolo CHOSE not to sponsor a WT team. They have other plans, and of all of the bike brands they are up there as one of the most solid, financially stable companies, with a focused business plan. Go and read some of the reams of information passed on by Graeme Freestone King (of Velotech) who is pretty much the most informed Campag bod outside of the Campagnolo family. You’ll find it all in Weight Weenies.

Campagnolo isn’t going anywhere. They’re just doing their own thing.

Ooh, you're tetchy!!

If Campagnolos market strategy is to make themselves annonymous to customers then that doesn't really make much sense if your main task is to sell your product.

It wasn't that long ago, Mavic nearly went to the wall. And they are a pretty big cycling brand.

I just ask the question, why would anyone want to buy Campagnolo? Ill use the car analogy again. Ferrari sell cars because they are a status symbol and they are performance cars - performace that say Ford or Toyota dont rival. If your other competitors are only Ford and Toyota then its not so much of an issue since Ford and Toyota build masses for the classes. A product for the majority. But in this case, Ford and Toyota make a better product than Ferrari. Its performance is just as good and Its available everywhere. All Ferrari has is its badge. Most people will never own a Ferrari. But in cycling, I could afford super record if I really wanted it. But its not worth the expendature over Sram Red which I do have. A product I believe is superior to the Italian offering.

Campagnolos becoming an invisible brand. If the worlds biggest shop window for cycling enthusiasts doesnt have it then it can very quickly fall from peoples minds. Especially when there are very capable if not better products right in your face.

Smoggysteve wrote: A product I believe is superior to the Italian offering.

Well there you have it. You believe it's superior, probably because you've not tried recent Campag.

The Tour Down Under is kind of like the first day of school for WorldTour cycling. Everyone is back together after a few months apart, but even with such little time passed, some things have changed, big and small.

Nowhere is this more true than with the bikes of top pro teams. Whether it’s new bike brands, fresh paint, or a different drivetrain brand, very rarely is a team rocking exactly the same bikes as the season before.

The biggest changeups to equipment in 2024 include the disappearance of Campagnolo from the sport’s most elite level . Meanwhile, SRAM has picked up another squad, and a high-profile one at that, in Bora-Hansgrohe, bringing its team totals to four. Shimano meanwhile maintains its tight grip on WorldTour drivetrains with 14 of the 18 teams.

Bike brands have mostly stayed the same with the exception of two French squads. Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale has switched from BMC to Van Rysel , and Groupama-FDJ has dropped Lapierre for Wilier Triestina . Neither BMC nor Lapierre are represented in the men’s WorldTour in 2024. Wilier joins Canyon and Specialized in supporting two WorldTour squads each.

Take a look at all the bikes of the 2024 men’s WorldTour teams in the gallery below.

WorldTour team bikes 2023: Everything you need to know

The bikes that will be used by the best riders in the business during the year ahead

Words: Rachel Jary

We’ve all started to get our heads around the snazzy new jerseys for WorldTour teams in 2023, but what about the bikes they’ll be riding? The start of a new year often sees changes in sponsors and kit suppliers, meaning riders might have to get used to new groupsets, shoes, frames, clothing and even nutrition throughout the off-season. In 2023, many of the WorldTour team bikes remain the same, but there are a few key changes to brand partnerships that it is worth keeping an eye on if you want to remain up to date with the fastest kit in the game. 

One of the biggest changes for 2023 is team Jumbo-Visma’s decision to move from Shimano to SRAM components, meaning that riders will have to get used to an entirely new shifting system for the year ahead. We’ve already seen the likes of Wout van Aert use SRAM on the cyclo-cross field with great success, though, so we don’t see it being a huge issue for the riders who likely will have had time to get used to the new set-up on training camps well before the start of 2023. UAE Team Emirates is also changing groupsets, moving away from tradition as they have chosen Shimano over Campagnolo for the 2023 season.

When it comes to bikes, only two teams are changing frame suppliers out of the men’s WorldTour teams, with Arkéa-Samsic switching to Bianchi from Canyon and Cofidis moving to Look bikes instead of De Rosa. On the women’s side, Israel-Premier Tech Roland’s switch from Look to Factor bikes is the only change we’ll see.

There are also a number of rumours swirling around about potential new releases for 2023, with some SRAM sponsored teams spotted riding prototype shifters on training camps which could indicate an upgrade to the brand’s premium road groupset coming soon. Lorena Wiebes of Team SD Worx was seen using unrecognised handlebars aboard her Specialized Tarmac SL7 which might be a sign of new road bike coming from the American brand, while Cofidis have shared images of their riders using a Look bike which doesn’t yet seem to be released to the general public. 

So, we’ll keep our eyes and ears open for any changes as the season progresses, but as things stand, here’s everything you need to know about each WorldTour team's bikes and kit for the 2023 season.

AG2R Citroën Team

BMC Teammachine SLR01, BMC Timemachine (TT)

While French team AG2R Citroën have kept the same kit for 2023, their bikes have seen some upgrades. In 2023, riders such as Greg van Avermaet and Andrea Vendrame will race on the BMC Teammachine SLR01 LTD made with a Premium TCC race-engineered carbon frame. It is said to be aerodynamic and light, excellent for climbing mountains but also suitable for fast flat stages, the kind of versatility required of a bike which will be used in Grand Tours. It has been created using BMC’s proprietary ACE technology which aims to optimise bikes by calculating frame cross sections, carbon layups and geometry based on performance values. BMC says that thousands of virtual prototypes are created until the perfect bike is achieved. BMC’s Teammachine SLR01 LTD also has fully integrated cable routing to further help with aerodynamic efficiency and is dressed with a Campagnolo Super Record 12-speed groupset and Campagnolo wheels. 

Groupset: Campagnolo Super Record 

Wheels: Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO

Astana Qazaqstan Team

Wilier Zero SLR and Filante SLR, Wilier Turbine (TT)

Astana Qazaqstan will be aboard the Wilier Zero SLR for most of their races in 2023. While we do occasionally see them aboard the Filante SLR, the Zero is more of an all-rounder and used for the majority of the team’s racing. For 2023, both the Zero SLR and Filante SLR have been given a nice upgrade to their aesthetics, covered in what is described as a ‘chrome-plated graphite’ to create a stunning blue pattern on the frames. The Filante sees a lighter blue colour fade into silver on the rear of the frame, while the SLR fades into a darker blue colour instead. Aside from the snazzy new paint jobs, the bikes underneath are the same as Astana used in 2022. The Filante has wide fork legs and rounded tube cut-offs to minimise drag, while the Wilier Zero SLR places more of a focus on achieving a light overall weight while maintaining a high stiffness-to-weight ratio.

Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace

Wheels: Corima

Bahrain-Victorious

Merida Reacto 6000, Merida Scultura, Merida Warp (TT)

Matej Mohorič claimed that he had "broken cycling" when he won Milan-San Remo using a dropper post abroad is Merida Scultura bike last year, and it seems like Bahrain Victorious will stick to the winning recipe in 2023, with the team switching between Merida Reacto and Merida Scultura race bikes throughout the season. The Reacto is an aero road bike which is aimed at reducing aerodynamic drag as much as possible, while the Scultura is more of a classic, all-round race bike which Merida says strikes a balance between being lightweight and aero. While we can expect to see most of the riders on the Reacto during the Classics, they may reach for the Scultura as they head into the mountains in Grand Tours. The team also plans to stick to the newest Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12-speed groupset with a power meter, alongside Vision Metron wheels in various depths depending on conditions. In a recent press conference at the team’s training camp when asked a question about his bike set-up for 2023, Mohorič himself replied: “I will still use the Merida Reacto bike but some minor details might change. That's all I can say for now. I guess we will see at the races the exact setup that we are going to use for next year.” Who knows what the Slovenian has got up his sleeve…

Wheels: Vision

Bora-Hansgrohe

Specialized Tarmac SL7, Specialized S-Works Shiv (TT)

Specialized is a brand which appears committed to an all-around race bike with aero properties which are not as pronounced as some of the other brands. Bora-Hansgrohe generally races solely on the SL7 throughout the year, given it is touted as a bike which can perform on a variety of terrain. For 2023, the team’s SL7 bike is painted in a black and green colourway with pops of red on the inside of the forks. Once again, they will use a Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed groupset and a mix of Roval Rapide and Roval Alpinist wheels, with the former used as a more aerodynamic race wheel and the latter for when the road starts to head uphill. As it stands, Bora-Hansgrohe will stick to their Giro d’Italia winning bike for 2023, although rumours have been swirling about the possible release of a new Specialized SL8 coming in 2023 after Team SD Worx’s Lorena Wiebes was seen using unrecognised aero handlebars on a recent team training camp. We’ll keep our eyes peeled…

Wheels: Roval

At the end of 2022, it was confirmed that Team Cofidis were moving away from De Rosa and returning to French brand Look, a company they are already familiar with after using as a bike partner from 2009-2014. At present, Look offers the lightweight 785 Huez RS or the 795 Blade RS aero bike, but images on the Cofidis Instagram page show riders using a new model of Look bike which appears to merge both previous options to create an all-round race bike with fully integrated cabling. 2023 also sees the team move from Campagnolo to Shimano and it seems like all team bikes will be equipped with an SRM Origin 9 crank-based power meter. It seems like it’s only a matter of time before Look releases all the juicy details of that snazzy new bike on which riders have been zooming around the roads of Spain.

EF Education-EasyPost and EF Education-TIBCO-SVB

Cannondale SuperSix Evo 4, SystemSix and SuperSlice (TT)

Although it is not yet released to the general public, the bike shown in recent images on both the men’s and women’s WorldTour team’s Instagram pages appears to be a brand new Cannondale SuperSix Evo 4. This new model looks more aerodynamic than the previous iteration with a reduced frontal area and it also seems to have a wider tyre clearance. It also appears that the new SuperSix Evo 4 has an internal routing system which is compatible with both integrated and non-integrated cockpits which should give more options for riders when searching for their perfect fit. The bike also features a Shimano Dura-Ace groupset, FSA K-Force chainset, a 4iii power meter and Vision wheels. As usual, Cannondale have treated us to a cool silver and pink paint job, with Olympic champion Richard Carapaz getting special treatment with some gold detailing to his race bike.

Groupama-FDJ and FDJ-SUEZ-Futuroscope

Lapierre Xelius SL3, Lapierre Aircode DRS, Lapierre Aerostorm DRS (TT)

French brand Lapierre sponsors both the men’s Groupama-FDJ and women’s FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope WorldTour teams again in 2023 and gives both teams a couple of bike options. The team most commonly uses the Xelius model which is an all-round race bike that was updated last year, featuring an improved carbon lay-up. It has the French brand's 3D Tubular design where the seatstays attach to the top tube rather than the seat tube in an effort to improve comfort. The Lapierre Aircode DRS is a bike designed for sprinters and flat races, while the Xelius is primarily a climbing bike. While the men’s team bike is a plain black colour, the model for the women’s team is a striking blue and red colourway. Danish national champion Cecilie Uttrup-Ludwig also has a stunning custom red and white bike to match her 2023 jersey.

Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace 

Wheels: Shimano

Ineos Grenadiers

Pinarello Dogma F, Bolide (TT)

British team Ineos Grenadiers continue their long standing relationship with Italian brand Pinarello into 2023 as they will race on the Pinarello Dogma F for the upcoming season. This is said to be a lightweight and aero all-rounder with Pinarello’s distinctive wavy-tube design philosophy. This is a bike that has already won some prestigious races and likely will continue to be at the forefront of pro cycling year on year. Ineos also use Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed groupset and Shimano wheels for the majority of their road races, however, they have been known to use Princeton Carbonworks wheels and Aerocoach wheels for time trials and the occasional road race. While the bike underneath is the same as year’s previous, the Ineos Grenadiers’ Dogma for 2023 does feature a fresh new paint job with orange diamond patterning to match the team’s striking new jersey.

Wheels: Shimano (also use Princeton Carbonworks & Aerocoach)

Intermarché-Circus-Wanty

Cube Litening C:68X, Aerium C:68

Belgian WorldTour team Intermarché-Circus-Wanty sticks to all the same equipment partners for 2023 as it had last season. Riders will race aboard Cube’s aero road bike, Litening C:68X, which Cube says aims to “go fast as efficiently as possible”. The frame features deep fork legs, head tube and down tube and was ridden by Biniam Girmay to his historic victory in Gent-Wevelgem last year. It also has its own integrated handlebar/stem to reduce the frontal area and Cube says it features a lighter and stiffer carbon than in the previous iteration. The bike has wheels from German brand Newmen and the team also will ride a Shimano Dura-Ace groupset in the upcoming season. 

Wheels: Newmen

Jumbo-Visma

Cervélo S5, R5, P5 (TT)

Both Jumbo-Visma men’s and women’s WorldTour teams will once again race into 2023 on Cervélo bikes. The brand debuted the new aero S5 model at the 2022 Tour de France where it was ridden to numerous stage wins by Wout van Aert and it took Jonas Vingegaard part-way to overall victory (he used the more climbing-focused R5 for the mountainous stages.) Although they will be on the same models of bike, Jumbo-Visma will have to get used to some big changes in 2023 as they move from Shimano groupsets to SRAM. They will use a Sram Red eTap groupset so riders will have to get their heads around a different shifting system. The team has also switched to Nimbl shoes this year and Oakley sunglasses which will also require some bedding in before the season properly begins.

Groupset: SRAM

Wheels: Reserve

Movistar Team

Canyon Aeroad CFR, Ultimate CFR, Speedmax CFR (TT)

After a stellar season – especially for the women’s WorldTour squad who took the overall victory with Annemiek van Vleuten at the Tour de France Femmes – Movistar will stick to Canyon for 2023. The Aeroad will be used for flatter, sprint or Classics races, while the Ultimate is likely to be reserved for hillier days. Van Vleuten, for example, rode the Ultimate for the sprint stages of the Tour this year before switching the Ultimate for the final two mountainous stages. Movistar will also be using a SRAM wireless Red eTap AXS groupset which we expect to see some changes to in 2023 – the team has already been spotting riding on some prototype SRAM shifters on Instagram. Zipp wheels, Fizik saddles and Garmin computers complete Movistar’s set-up for the 2023 season

Wheels: Zipp

Soudal-Quick Step

Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7, Specialized S-Works Shiv TT

Like Bora-Hansgrohe, Soudal - Quick-Step will use their winning combination of Specialized and Shimano again for 2023. As far as we know, the team will use the very same set-up this year that Remco Evenepoel rode to Vuelta a España victory and a world championship title last year, aside from those sneaky rumours about the potential launch of a new Tarmac SL8. Most of the team will ride bikes in a standard blue and black paint job, while Evenepoel has been given special treatment with a world champion’s bike painted in a white base colour with the rainbow stripes on the rear of the frame – perhaps to remind anyone on his wheel who they are following up the road… 

Team Arkéa Samsic

Image: Thomas Maheux

Bianchi Oltre RC, Specialissima, Aquila (TT)

One of the few teams to change bike sponsor this year, Team Arkéa Samsic’s move up to the WorldTour means a move to Bianchi bikes for 2023. Riders will have a choice between the eye-catching Bianchi Oltre – an aero road bike which turned heads when it was released earlier this year thanks to its aggressive geometry and unique handlebar system – and the Specialissima which is Bianchi’s flagship climbing bike. The Italian brand claims that both models are versatile enough to be used on both flat and hilly terrain, so it will be interesting to see what Team Arkéa Samsic opts for most frequently in 2023. Alongside the newest Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed groupset, Arkéa will also use Shimano wheels when out on the road and Vision wheels for time trials.

Wheels: Shimano and Vision

Scott Addict RC, Foil RC, Plasma (TT)

Both the men’s and women’s Team DSM squads will race Scott bikes again in 2023. The recently-released Scott Foil – as ridden by the likes of Lorena Wiebes and Romain Bardet in the 2023 Tours de France – will be the team’s bike of choice for flat races and the Classics while the Addict is likely to be picked for races in the mountains. A video on the team’s Instagram revealed a stunning glitter blue paint job for the 2023 bikes which will undoubtedly stand out in the peloton. As one of the few teams sponsored by componentry giant Shimano (most other teams buy the groupsets for usage) the bikes will also be equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets and wheels for the season ahead. Scott’s Plasma time trial bike will be used for races against the clock – said to be one of the most aerodynamic machines on the market.

Team Jayco Alula

Liv Langma, Envie, Avow (TT)

Despite a new name for 2023, both the men’s and women’s sides of Team Jayco Alula will remain on Giant/Liv bikes for the upcoming year. The men’s team will have a choice between the more aero focussed Giant Propel or the lightweight TCR model depending on a race’s parcours. The women’s WorldTour team will use Giant’s range of female-specific Liv models, choosing between the Langma and Envie. The Envie is an aero road bike, while the Langma is Liv’s answer to the Giant TCR (more of an all-round, lighter option.) Both teams will use Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed groupset and Cadex wheels (Giant’s in-house wheel and components brand.) The women’s team bike features a blue and purple paint job to match with their kit, while the men’s has a navy and light blue patterning as seen on their 2023 team jersey.

Groupset: Shimano

Wheels: Cadex

Trek-Segafredo

Trek Madone, Emonda, Domane, Speed Concept (TT)

After the big release of Trek’s radical Madone race bike at the Tour de France last year, which turned heads due to its hole in the seat tube and was said to be much more aerodynamic than the previous iteration, Trek-Segafredo will race on the same bikes in 2023. For races like Paris-Roubaix, the team will likely choose the compliant and comfortable Domane model, while the Emonda is reserved for the highest mountains as the lightest bike in the Trek line-up. The 2023 paint jobs are simple but striking, with the men’s team riding on bright red bikes and the women's squad on bikes with a baby blue base colour. Again, both teams will use SRAM components and Bontrager wheels (Trek’s own wheel brand.)

Groupset: SRAM Red eTap AXS

Wheels: Bontrager

UAE Team Emirates and UAE Team ADQ

Image: UAE Team ADQ

Colnago V4Rs, TT1 (TT)

Big changes came for UAE Team Emirates and UAE Team ADQ last year when Colnago released its new V4Rs which it said had the goal to refine aerodynamics, stiffness, weight, comfort and strength. Both the men’s and women’s UAE squads will be riding the same bike in 2023 and they will also both use a 12-speed Shimano Dura-Ace groupset – a change from last year when both teams used Campagnolo on their bikes. Enve wheels are the hoops of choice for the UAE teams after they did numerous tests last year at the Milan Polytechnic wind tunnel with the aim of finding the fastest wheels and Enve was the brand that came out on top. The women’s team bike is painted in a plain black colour with yellow, pink and blue on the fork and handlebars to match the kit, while the men’s bike is black with red accents. The team also will move from SRM headsets to Wahoo computers for next year.

Wheels: Enve

Alpecin-Deceuninck

Canyon Aeroad CFR, Ultimate CFR, Speedmax (TT)

Despite their move up to the WorldTour for the first time in 2023, Alpecin-Deceuninck, the team of multi-discipline superstar Mathieu van der Poel, will stick to the same bikes for the upcoming season. They will choose between the Canyon Aeroad and Ultimate depending on if the race is flat or hilly, and they will be aboard the Speedmax time trial bike too. Once again, the team will use Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets and wheels with Vittoria tyres, Sella Italia saddles and Wahoo head units. 

Canyon//SRAM Racing

As Canyon and SRAM both still remain as headline sponsors for the Women’s WorldTour team Canyon//SRAM Racing, the team will stick to the same bikes for 2023. Like Alpecin-Deceuninck, they will have a choice of two bikes (Aeroad or Ultimate) for road races depending on the terrain and will use a Speedmax time trial bike. With Magnus Bäckstedt joining the team as lead sports director next year, Canyon//SRAM will hope to have a bigger impact on the races with the likes of Tour de France Femmes hopeful Kasia Niewiadoma in 2023.

Fenix-Deceuninck

Awaiting pictures

New to the WorldTour for 2023, Fenix-Deceuninck will race on Canyon bikes this year, similarly to the Alpecin-Deceuninck men’s squad. For the majority of races, we can expect the team to use the Aeroad model, but the new Canyon Ultimate will be the choice for some of the climbers in the squad. Made up of a number of cyclo-cross riders who swap to skinny tyres for the road season as well as some specific road riders (including some exciting young up and coming talent), this is a team which we can expect to see at the forefront of many more races in the upcoming season.

Human Powered Health

Felt AR Aero Road, FR Race, IA (TT)

Women’s WorldTour team Human Powered Health will race on Felt bikes again for 2023. The AR model will be the choice for the sprinters in the squad – namely former British champion Alice Barnes who joins the team for this season – while the FR race is a more traditional, round-tube race bike that could be used on a variety of terrain. The team’s bikes will be dressed with SRAM Red eTap AXS groupsets and Vision wheels, while Selle Italia saddles and Wahoo head units finish off the look for Human Powered Health who will also sport bright orange and purple jerseys for 2023.

Israel Premier Tech Roland

Factor Ostro, One, Hanzo (TT)

With the team’s 2023 name change from Roland Cogeas Edelweiss Squad to Israel Premier Tech Roland, they take on many of the same sponsors as the Israel Premier Tech men’s team (which has been relegated to ProTeam level for 2023). This means a move from Look bikes to Factor bikes, where they will have a choice of the Factor One, a bike more tailored towards going fast on the flat and the Factor Ostro, a bike solely designed to rip it up on the flatlands. The bikes will all be equipped with the new Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed groupset and Black Inc wheels, while Jinga make the team’s clothing and Hammerhead are the headunits of choice.

Wheels: Black Inc

Liv Racing TeqFind

Langma, Envie, Avow (TT)

Similarly to the women’s arm of Team Jayco Alula, Liv Racing TeqFind –unsurprisingly given their title sponsor – will use Liv bikes in 2023. With the experienced Spanish talent of Mavi García joining the squad for the upcoming season, the team will hope they are able to secure more results and become more present at the front of WorldTour races in the year ahead. As a climber, Liv’s Langma will likely be the bike of choice for García and those who will support her in the mountains, but it’s possible that we’ll see riders on the Langma model for the faster, Classics races. The team will use a SRAM Red eTap AXS groupset and Cadex wheels.

Team SD Worx

Specialized Tarmac SL7, S-Works Shiv (TT)

Number one ranked Women’s WorldTour team, SD Worx, will race on Specialized Tarmac SL7 bikes again for 2023. The key change for 2023 will be the team’s usage of Roval wheels rather than Zipp wheels as they used last year – we expect they will switch between the Rapide and Alpinist models throughout the year depending on the type of terrain they are racing on. The 2023 bikes come in a stunning black, pink and purple colour fade to match the team kit, and we will certainly see a lot of these colours at the front of the peloton next year. With the signing of prolific sprinter Lorena Wiebes for 2023, SD Worx will be stronger than ever and looking to increase their win tally even further.

Groupset: SRAM

Uno-X Pro Cycling Team

Dare MA-AFO, Dare VSRu, Dare TSRf (TT)

During their second season in the women’s WorldTour, Uno-X Pro Cycling Team will race on Dare bikes again in 2023. With their team increasing to 16 riders for 2023, including former world champion Amalie Dideriksen, this is a squad which will be hoping to make themselves seen more often at the front of the peloton. The colorways of their Dare bikes should definitely help this, they are painted in a striking red colour with vivid white decals. The bikes have a Shimano Dura-Ace groupset at DT Swiss wheels, as well as Garmin computers. Uno-X’s team kit will be made by Bio Racer again in 2023.

Groupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Disc 12 Speed

Wheels: DT Swiss

When the road is calling, answer it with a road bike designed to take you far and fast. Experience the pro team feeling with a bike used by your favourite WorldTour team or a brand new road bike all your own. Every bike has a distinctive story, this is your chance to add to it.

Find the best road bike for your needs

At CYKOM, we offer only top-quality team bikes. All team bikes are originals from professional cycling teams and cyclists. You'll discover new road bikes and used pro road bikes in our growing collection. 

Our team of bike mechanics makes sure every bike meets the highest operating standards — exactly what your next ride deserves. Don't think of our previously-owned bikes as your average used road bikes for sale. These are bikes with a story. And you get to be a part of that.

Regardless of whether your goal is to cross the finish line of a Grand Tour mountain stage, or be the first in your group to reach the local coffee shop after a day on the road, CYKOM has the road bike to take you to the next level. 

Find bicycles from Stevens, Cervélo, Felt, and Pinarello — bicycle brands that the world's best riders know, trust and never leave home without. 

New to the race? Keep reading to learn more about our large selection of team bikes, and see how to find the best road bike for your height and size. 

What is a road bike?

A road bike is a bicycle designed for use on paved roads. These bikes are built with lightweight frames and thin, smooth tyres, allowing you to ride at high speeds with minimal resistance. 

Road bikes are typically used for racing, long-distance rides, or commuting.

Racing road bikes are designed for competitive races. If you're looking for a commuter road bike, you probably want to avoid a racing bike. Unless you want the high-speed option so you'll never be late for that morning meeting again. 

Types of road bikes 

• Racing road bikes  are known as "pro-level" bikes. They're crafted to be as lightweight and aerodynamic as possible, with steep angles and an aggressive riding position.
• Endurance road bikes are also called "sportive" bikes. These have a more relaxed riding position for extra comfort and are best suited for long-distance rides. 
• Commuter road bikes  are designed for the everyday rider and are built with durability in mind. You'll often find accessories such as fenders and racks with commuter road bikes. 

At CYKOM, all our new and Pro WorldTour Team-used road bikes are engineered to climb, corner and descend with efficiency and speed, perfect for road cycling.

That competitive edge you're after? It's here. Our bikes give you the power to do it all. And do it faster than other riders. 

How to choose the best road bike?

Choosing the right bike isn't as simple as buying the first one you see, adjusting the seat and pedalling off into the horizon. And for anyone hoping to join the Tour de France, the task is even harder. 

• Purpose:  What do you plan on using the bike for? Are you looking for a race-ready bike, or a bike for long-distance rides or commuting? 
• Budget:  Consider your budget and find a bike that fits your price range. Remember that you get what you pay for, so be prepared to invest in a higher-quality bike if you want a reliable and durable ride. 
• Frame:  Beyond the different categories of road bikes, there are frame materials to choose from, including aluminium, carbon fibre frame, steel, and titanium. 
• Size:  Choose a bike that's the right size for you. Use a bike size chart or have a professional bike fitting done to determine the correct size.
• Components:  Look at the elements on the bike, such as the drivetrain, brakes, and wheels, and ensure they are of good quality and suitable for your needs. All our bikes — from new to used — are individually checked by our team of mechanics so you're safe knowing you're getting top quality. 
• Brand:  Research different bike brands and check out reviews to get a sense of their reputation and the quality of their products.
• Test ride:  If possible, try out a few different bikes to see which one feels the most comfortable and performs the best. That's the advantage of buying a bike previously owned by a pro team — you know it can go the distance! 

Road bike sizing | What size bike do you need?

For efficient power transfer and handling, it's key to find a bike that fits well. So how do you find the right bike size for you? 

Start by multiplying your stride length (inseam) by 0.66. The formula looks like this:

Frame size = stride length (in cm) X 0.66

Here we have created a simple table with frame sizes.

Measure your inseam by standing against a wall and measure from the ground to your crotch. Then use a bike size chart (like the measurements listed above) to find the right size based on your inseam length.

You can also have a professional bike fitting done at a local bike shop and use that measurement to shop for your next road bike with us. 

Remember that bike sizes can vary between brands and models, so it's always a good idea to try out a few different sizes to see which one feels the most comfortable.

What are the best road bike tyres?

Your tyres are the only point of contact between you and the road, making them one of the most important components on your road bike. 

Here are our top factors to consider when choosing road bike tyres:

• Purpose:  Are you using the tyres for racing, training, or everyday riding? Different tyres work for different purposes, so choose a tyre that fits your riding needs. 
• Width:  Road bike tyres come in a range of widths, from narrow 23mm tyres to wider 28mm or even 32mm tyres. Wider tyres offer more comfort and stability but may be slower than narrower tyres.
• Thread:  Road bike tyres can have either smooth or textured tread patterns. Smooth tyres are best for racing and provide the lowest rolling resistance. Textured tyres offer more grip and are better suited for training or wet weather conditions.
• Durability:  Durability matters. Especially if you plan on using them for long-distance rides or in rough conditions.

Some popular road bike tyre brands include Continental, Vittoria, and Michelin. Always read reviews and do your research before purchasing tyres. And as always, reach out to us if you have any questions. 

Find our different collections of road bike tires here: 

• Tubeless tires
• Tubular tires
• Clincher tires

What are the right pedals for road bikes?

The best road bike pedals offer low weight, improved aerodynamics and increased foot stability. Here's a look at our favourite types:

• Clipless pedals:  These pedals allow you to "clip" your shoes into the pedals for a secure and efficient connection. Clipless pedals require special cycling shoes with cleats on the bottom.
• Platform pedals:  These pedals have a flat surface that you rest your feet on while riding. They don't require special cycling shoes, making them a great choice for beginners or casual riders.
• Toe clips:  These are like cages that fit around the front of your feet and attach to the pedals. Toe clips provide a more secure connection than platform pedals, but aren't as efficient as clipless pedals.

If you're a serious rider or plan on doing more long-distance rides than commutes to work, clipless pedals are probably the best choice. For casual or beginner riders, platform pedals are the better option.

Cervélo road bikes

Cervélo is a Canadian bicycle brand that manufactures top-quality frames and parts for racing bicycles. Cervelo was established in 1995 and headquartered in Toronto. Cervélo has grown more popular due to their sponsorship of Bjarne Riis' Team CSC from 2002 to 2008.

'Why are other bikes so expensive?' - Van Rysel says it's not 'cheating the customer' as WorldTour bike undercuts competition

Van Rysel's flagship bike, as used by Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, is just the start of Decathlon's super bike journey

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

The question is not why the Van Rysel RCR Pro - the WorldTour’s cheapest bike - is relatively affordable, the question is why any other bike would be more expensive.

That’s according to Yann Le Fraillec, Van Rysel’s chief product officer, who was speaking to Cycling Weekly at the opening of the French brand’s first ever shop, situated inside its parent company Decathlon’s store in Surrey Quays, London.

Van Rysel bikes lines up ahead of stage 2 of the Tour De Romandie 

The RCR Pro, as used by Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale in the men's WorldTour, is being sold for £9,000 in the UK. Clearly, this is still a lot of money for a bike. However, it is thousands of pounds cheaper than equivalent WorldTour machines like the Trek Madone SLR 9 (£14,500 with SRAM Red), or the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 (£12,000 with Dura Ace or SRAM Red). 

The RCR Pro holds its own on the spec sheet, with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, a power meter, and Swiss Side Hadron 500 Ultimate wheels. Whilst Cycling Weekly is yet to put any miles on the bike to assess it against the competition, a model has arrived at our Reading HQ for head-to-head testing against the world's best. 

"It is the right price for this bike," Le Fraillec says. "I can't say anything else, this is the right price. We are not cheating the customer. They are riding the same bike as the pros, there are no different features. You can buy it, the same frame, the same components, the same wheels. This is what we consider a fair price for people to enjoy the thrill of speed."

"Shimano components alone can't make this kind of gap in terms of pricing" Yann Le Fraillec, Van Rysel

It's commonly assumed that Van Rysel is able to offer a bike - with comparative specification - several thousand pounds cheaper than other brands because the economies of scale play into sports retail giant Decathlon's hands. La Fraillec denies this.

"Sometimes I hear it's because Decathlon is big, Van Rysel is big, so they have good purchase conditions with Shimano and so on. I don't know to be honest, but the Shimano components alone can't make this kind of gap in terms of pricing.

"It's just a question of the business model as well, because we're a global brand, one of the only brands in the world for cyclists that delivers garments, computers and shoes as well. We're not depending on one product category. We are able to balance it better, so it's a winning point for the customer too."

Van Rysel is aiming to be more than just 'Decathlon’s premium bike marque', it wants to be one of the top five bike brands in the world. To create what it claims to be one of the fastest - and cheapest - superbikes available, it teamed up with Swiss Side, Deda Elementi and ONERA, the French aerospace research laboratory

With ONERA are based round the corner from Van Rysel’s headquarters in Lille, the collaboration was natural. However, it took some convincing the body, which usually exerts its energy on the likes of rockets and submarines, to take an interest in bikes. In the end, 25 3D-printed test frames went through the ONERA wind tunnels in an effort to save every watt.

"We worked with one of the best teams in the world," La Fraillec says. "It was an amazing opportunity. It is the fastest bike in terms of aero-light" - he claims, adding the caveat "we are not able to beat some really specific aero bikes because that's another game."

Unlike the vast majority of modern carbon bikes, the RCR’s frame is made using its creator's own moulds . "We are one of the few brands on the market that are mastering their carbon fibre layup. We know exactly how it's made, what kind of fibre is used where. Some brands delegate to the carbon factory," La Fraillec states.

Decathlon AG2R riders have already taken 11 race wins, this season, aboard the RCR Pro. This means the team has already outperformed their 2023 total by the end of April. Whilst it's not all about the bike, with aero bikes substantially lifting the average speed of modern races, there's certainly no space for underperforming tech.

"We are so happy, really," La Fraillec explains. "The discussion with Decathlon AG2R started a long time ago, with other teams as well. The one thing they couldn't accept is a non-performing bike. You could pay a million dollars, but if the bike wasn't good, it wouldn't matter."

Referencing the parent brand's reputation for providing entry level kit, with value at its heart, he says: "When we started the first tests, we were told that it was a crazy bike. Of course, they started being suspicious because of Decathlon. It's normal, we were ready for this reaction, but then they were impressed."

The impressive performance is one thing, but the price is the thing that makes this Van Rysel bike stand out. 

"We will have more expensive bikes, but because it will be the right price for the bike," La Fraillec says. "Maybe in the future, for the TT bike. We want to deliver to the market the right price for our product, without any compromise on the technical aspects."

When the RCR Pro was made available to pre-order across Europe last week, the top model sold out in the UK almost instantaneously . There are still some versions with lower-tier componentry available , but La Fraillec promises that there is more to come.

"The sales have been over our expectations," La Fraillec explains. "To make a bike is something manual, it takes time. you can't just multiply by 10, or you will make quality issues and we don't want that. We are really focusing on delivering these products, but first quality. We won't be delivering large quantities to the market until the end of the year."

The RCR Pro is just the beginning of Van Rysel’s journey to making world-beating bikes; La Fraillec promises something "even more crazy" soon. It does still feel odd to enter a Decathlon in a retail park and see a World Tour winning bike on the shop floor, but that’s the future. The process to making this the new normal will be a long one.

"I think when we start to sell more high-end bikes than leisure bikes, naturally we will reach new customers, and maybe our business model will be less reliant on entry-level bikes," La Fraillec says. "This is our aim, to reach new customers who would not be considering us. This is how we will move out of the Decathlon leisure brand; with iconic products, and I think the RCR bike is a game changer."

World Cycling Championships 2024: Route ITT - men

The route commences from the Oerlikon Velodrome in the northern part of Zürich. The open air venue was built in 1912 and hosted seven editions of the Track Cycling World Championships between 1923 and 1983. This time it’s the ITT launch pad. On straight and flat roads the riders storm through Zürich’s suburbs and head for Fällanden, a small town on the northern end of the Greifensee. Along the lake the riders continue to Maur and Mönchaltorf, all the while on pan flat roads.

The route begins to rise after moving through Oetwil am See. Starting out between the trees and continuing onto a plateau with fields left and right, the winding road goes up for 2.6 kilometres at 4.5%. At an elevation of 640 metres, this is the highest point of the day. A fast descent takes the riders passed Uetikon and, while Lake Zurich is beckoning in the valley, there is still one incline remaining. It’s a 1.4 kilometres test at 5.1%.

A left turn onto a false flat downhill turns into a proper descent of a little over 1 kilometre. The riders reach Lake Zurich and follow the shores all the way to the finish line, a section which is 12 kilometres long, flat, and straight.

Tour of Turkey: Tobias Lund Andresen wins stage 4 sprint, moves into race lead

Dane claims first professional victory ahead of Van Poppel in second and Uhlig in third

Tobias Lund Andresen ((Dsm-firmenich PostNL) emerged from a hectic finish to win stage 4 of the Tour of Turkey in Bodrum.

The Dane needed a late bike change but returned to the peloton and then timed his effort perfectly on the rising finish after Manuele Tarozzi (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè) and the remains of the early break were caught in the final kilometre.

Danny Van Poppel (Bora-Hansgrohe) finished second and Henri Uhlig (Alpecin-Deceuninck) third as other riders slowed each other in the search for the best wheel to follow.

Thanks to his stage victory and the time bonuses, Lund Andresen also took the race leader’s blue jersey, which he will wear during the 177.9km fifth stage from Bodrum to Kuşadası.

Lund Andresen was overjoyed to win his first professional race.

“The plan was that if Fabio made it over the climb, we’d go with him but he didn’t have the leg, so we made a nice plan for me and the team did an amazing job and I was able to take the win,” he said.

“It was a hard stage, with a lot of climbing. The roads are not the best, so it’s almost like riding cobblestones the whole day. It was grippy but that was quite nice for me.”

A breakaway again tried to foil the sprinters’ teams and the peloton, with eight riders going away with 110 km to race of the 137.9 km stage.

They worked well together and extended their lead to close to 2:00 but then Polti-Kometa and Astana Qazaqstan drove the chase. The Italian team was keen to defend Giovanni Lonardi’s race lead, while Astana Qazaqstan rode for stage 2 winner Max Kanter.

The hilly profile of the stage again ruled out the pure sprinters, with Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan), Fabio Jakobsen (Dsm-firmenich PostNL) and others dropped from the peloton.

The break reduced to five riders over the final climb after 95 km but James Whelan (Q36.5), Calum Johnston (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA),  Tarozzi, Owen Geleijn (TDT - Unibet) and Gianni Marchand (Tarteletto-Isorex) pushed on and held a lead of 40 seconds on the fast ride to Bodrum.

Whelan split the attack on a late climb with 10km to go, with only Tarozzi, Johnston and Marchand able to go with him. They attacked each other and the pace eased so the peloton closed the gap on the run-in to the finish.

Tarozzi refused to give up hope and attacked alone inside the final kilometre. He got a gap but then faded on the rising finish as Lund Andresen timed his effort to perfection.

Blair and Fishburn lead heading into Zurich Classic final round

American pair Zac Blair and Patrick Fishburn led by a stroke after the third round of the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic of New Orleans team event on Saturday.

The pair shot a superb 12 under-par 60 to sit at 23-under after the better-ball round to gain the advantage over Luke List and Henrik Norlander heading into Sunday's final round, which will use the alternate shot format.

But the Irish pairing of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are just two shots off the lead alongside the American team of Ryan Brehm and Mark Hubbard.

Blair and Fishburn made an outstanding start with a birdie on the first followed by an eagle on the par-5 second and they kept up their low scoring to reach the turn at 7-under.

Five more birdies followed on the back nine, including a streak of three from the 13th hole onwards, as the pair grabbed the solo lead.

Blair and Fishburn have been playing together since their junior golf days in Utah and are relishing the chance to compete as a pair.

"We go back a long ways and we spent a lot of time together and it's cool to be playing well on the PGA Tour on this stage. This is pretty special," said Fishburn.

"We'll just kind of continue how we're doing. No reason to change anything. We'll just keep having fun and keeping it loose and see what we can do."

Seattle-born List and Swede Norlander have no such long history but both live in Augusta, Georgia.

Their 10-under round of 62 was highlighted by eagles on the par-five second and 11th holes.

World number two McIlroy and his Ireland Olympic and Ryder Cup Europe teammate Lowry remain in firm contention for Sunday's title bid after an eight-under-par 64.

They were boosted by a strong back nine with five birdies, including on the 18th, which left McIlroy looking forward to Sunday's round.

"I can't wait. I think to make those birdies coming in and to only be two behind, alternate shot is a tough format, and you want to be within a couple strokes of the lead. I thought it was important to finish the way we did and excited to have a chance to win tomorrow," said the Northern Irishman.

"It was a tough day. Birdies were a little harder to come by today than they were on Thursday in the better ball format.

"I think today was about staying patient knowing that the course was going to present some opportunities, especially on that back nine, and I think our patience was rewarded with the chances that we gave ourselves, and rolled a couple of putts in on the back and kept ourselves in it."
