2024 Men’s WorldTour team bikes and equipment | Who’s riding what?

All the bikes and components used by the 18 men’s WorldTour teams in 2024 and what’s changed this year

Paul Norman

With the Tour Down Under about to kick off the 2024 WorldTour racing season, the teams are making their final preparations and tweaking their equipment.

For many, that’s a continuation of their 2023 setups – it’s easier for both riders and mechanics to change a few things between seasons rather than make wholesale changes.

But there are some significant swaps from 2023, which we’ve highlighted in our 2024 Men's WorldTour team bike round-up below.

2023 was a good year for bike launches, after a comparatively lean period during the Covid pandemic, when travel restrictions made it more difficult for brands to work closely with frame fabricators overseas.

In the last year, for example, we’ve seen the new Tarmac SL8 and Roubaix SL8 from Specialized, which continues to sponsor two teams in 2024: Bora-Hansgrohe and Soudal-QuickStep. 

In addition, the latest, lightest Cannondale SuperSix Evo LAB71 broke cover, the Look 795 Blade RS was finally officially launched, there was a new even-lighter Bianchi Specialissima and Decathlon’s Van Rysel brand joined the WorldTour with a slew of new bikes that the rest of us might actually be able to afford.

The bike brand merry-go-round that has been a feature of past years seems to have stopped. Wilier has joined Specialized and Canyon in sponsoring two men’s WorldTour teams though, while BMC and Lapierre have left the tour, the latter after 22 years of sponsoring the Groupama-FDJ team and its predecessors. 

No teams using Campagnolo Super Record Wireless

Perhaps the biggest news is not a single team will be using Campagnolo components in this year’s WorldTour, for the first time at the top tier of pro cycling. That’s despite Campag launching its new flagship Super Record Wireless groupset last year.

A couple of years ago, Campagnolo had three sponsored teams, but that dwindled to one (AG2R-Citroën) last year. 

It’s not so long ago that every team at the peak of pro racing used a Campagnolo groupset. Shimano was the interloper, calling upon the services of one Lance Armstrong to bring its first Tour de France win in 1999.

Nowadays, Shimano dominates WorldTour groupsets, with 14 of the 18 teams using Dura-Ace . 

Campagnolo lovers don’t despair though. Time pedals were another component that disappeared from pro cycling, having once dominated. Under SRAM’s ownership, Time pedals have made a comeback in the last two years, with Lidl-Trek using its featherlight pedals in 2023, being joined this year by Movistar.

In fact, SRAM and its brands seem to be in the ascendancy. It’s already heavily represented in the Women’s WorldTour and in 2024 has four men’s teams using Red AXS, up from two in 2022. 

Another SRAM brand, Hammerhead , now supplies its Karoo 2 computers to Bora-Hansgrohe. Surprisingly, considering its profile in the collective cycling psyche, Zipp , another SRAM brand, only supplies wheels to one team: Movistar.

Clothing swap-outs

Although most teams are riding the same bikes as last year, there’s been greater turnover in more minor suppliers. 

Probably the prize for the highest profile change goes to Gobik. The Spanish brand has edged out Bioracer as supplier to Ineos Grenadiers, adding to its sponsorship of Movistar. There’s a range of other lesser-known cycle clothing brands plying their trade this year, alongside the likes of Castelli, Sportful and Alé.

There’s also the usual smattering of component suppliers coming and going from the WorldTour. Cema bearings make an appearance on Jayco-AlUla’s Giant bikes, Token bottom brackets are fitted to the Looks of Cofidis and CeramicSpeed ’s go-faster bearings continue to grace a variety of teams’ bikes.

2024 WorldTour bikes | Who’s riding what?

As usual, the WorldTour teams get the cream of the crop of their sponsors’ equipment – no swap-outs for second-tier components here.

Here’s a summary run-down of each team’s bikes, groupset, wheels and other components, with more detail below.

Alpecin-Deceuninck (ADC)

• Framesets: Canyon Aeroad CFR / Speedmax CFR Disc (TT)
• Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace
• Wheels: Shimano
• Components : Canyon
• Pedals : Shimano 
• Power meter : Shimano 
• Tyres : Vittoria 
• Other : Canyon, Selle Italia, Elite, Wahoo

Alpecin-Deceuninck is the first of many teams to have kept to its winning formula in 2024. Its sponsors have every reason to be content with that, with World Champion Mathieu van der Poel flying their colours. The subtle changes to his Canyon Aeroad seen from early last year have yet to show up in retail bikes though.

Arkéa-B&B Hotels (ARK)

• Framesets : Bianchi Specialissima RC / Oltre RC / Aquila (TT)
• Drivetrain : Shimano Dura-Ace 
• Wheels : Bianchi / Vision 
• Components : Bianchi integrated handlebars
• Pedals : Shimano
• Power meter : Shimano Dura-Ace 
• Tyres : Vittoria
• Other : Selle Italia saddles, Elite bottle cages, Wahoo computers

Arkéa-B&B Hotels continues on Bianchi bikes this year. Although the Oltre RC aero road bike is still in the team’s quiver, it’s the latest iteration of the Specialissima that’s likely to take centre stage. 

The new Specialissima is more aero and efficient than its predecessor says Bianchi. At a claimed 6.6kg weight for a top-spec stock build, pro bikes are likely to skim the UCI 6.8kg limit too, even with bottle cages, race numbers and computers bolted on. 

Astana-Qazaqstan Team (AST)

• Framesets : Wilier Triestina Filante SLR / 0 SLR / Turbine SLR (TT)
• Wheels : Vision
• Components : Wilier integrated handlebar
• Pedals : Look Kéo Blade
• Tyres : Vittoria Corsa Pro
• Other : Prologo saddles, Tacx bottle cages, Prologo handlebar tape, Garmin computers

It’s a fifth year on Wilier bikes for Astana-Qazaqstan. Wilier is supplying the same mix of the aero Filante SLR and lightweight/aero 0 SLR for road stages as last year. The paintjob looks to be staying the same too – it’s still arguably the best looking in the pro peloton (with Trek a close competitor), so why change?

The only significant change in 2024 is a swap from HED wheels to Vision. The team started 2023 on Corima wheels, but that brand has been slow out of the blocks with the pros’ new-found favourite tubeless wheels, so the team was one of the few still using tubulars at the start of last season. 

We’d guess the swap to HED was prompted by its tubeless support, but it looks as if that relationship hasn’t worked out – or maybe Vision made the team a more attractive offer.

Bahrain Victorious (TBV)

• Framesets : Merida Scultura Disc Team / Reacto Disc Team / Time Warp TT
• Wheels : Vision Metron
• Components : Vision Metron handlebars and stems, FSA seatpost (Scultura only)

Pedals : Shimano Dura-Ace 

Power meter : Shimano Dura-Ace

• Tyres : Continental GP5000
• Other : Prologo saddles and bar tape, Elite bottle cages, Garmin computers

It’s another year with the same Merida bikes and components for Bahrain Victorious, even if the team’s clothing colours have had a make-over.

The FSA/Vision component mix continues too, with Vision providing wheels and its parent brand FSA adding other components. Team leaders get custom 3D-printed Vision bar extensions on their Time Warp time trial bikes – which must surely be due an update soon.

Bora-Hansgrohe (BOH)

• Framesets : Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 / Roubaix SL8 / Shiv TT
• Drivetrain : SRAM Red AXS 
• Wheels : Roval
• Components : Roval handlebar and stem
• Power meter : SRAM/Quarq
• Tyres : Specialized S-Works Turbo Cotton
• Other : Specialized saddles and bottle cages, Hammerhead computers

Bora-Hansgrohe continues to ride Specialized bikes with Roval wheels, but upgraded from the Tarmac SL7 to SL8 during 2023. This year, there’s been a groupset takeover by SRAM though, displacing Shimano. 

SRAM has also elbowed its way into the team’s cycling computers, with SRAM-owned Hammerhead in place of Wahoo. The team bikes still appear to be fitted with Shimano Dura-Ace pedals though.

There’s a proposed tie-up with Red Bull in the offing, although this apparently needs to be approved by the Austrian competition authorities – look out for a name change for the team later in 2024.

Cofidis (COF)

• Framesets : Look 795 Blade RS / 796 Monoblade RS (TT)
• Drivetrain : Shimano Dura-Ace, Token bottom bracket
• Wheels : Corima
• Components : Look bar/stem
• Pedals : Look Kéo
• Power meter : SRM 
• Tyres : Michelin Power Cup tubular
• Other : Selle Italia saddles, Elite bottle cages, Wahoo Elemnt computers

Cofidis starts its second year on the Look 795 Blade RS , a bike that was only officially launched in June 2023, some six months after we first caught sight of it under the team. 

Corima is one of the last wheelmakers not offering a tubeless-ready clincher. At the 2023 Tour de France, Cofidis was still running 25mm tubs and that looks to be continuing in 2024. 

Another blast from the past is the SRM power meter, although the team does get a flashy and bang up-to-date T47 standard Token ceramic bottom bracket. 

Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale Team (DAT)

• Framesets : Van Rysel RCR Pro, FCR, XCR (TT)
• Wheels : SwissSide Hadron
• Components : Deda cockpit
• Other : Fizik saddles, Elite bottle cages, Wahoo computers

Bravo Decathlon. While other pro teams are riding bikes that, even in retail specs, are prohibitively expensive, it’s stepped into the WorldTour with the reasonably affordable Van Rysel RCR Pro lightweight/aero bike. There’s the FCR, a pro-level Van Rysel aero bike, in the mill too. 

The new setup and sponsorship for the team elbows out BMC. It also sees it supplied with wheels from SwissSide, another new WorldTour entrant. However, SwissSide’s aero experts have already helped Canyon and DT Swiss (which isn’t represented in the WorldTour this year) hone their aerodynamics. 

EF Education-EasyPost (EFE)

• Framesets : Cannondale SuperSix Evo LAB71 / SystemSix / SuperSlice (TT)
• Drivetrain : Shimano Dura-Ace, FSA crankset 
• Components : Cannondale System Bar bar/stem
• Pedals : Wahoo Speedplay
• Power meter : Power2Max NG Road Cannondale
• Tyres : Vittoria Corsa 
• Other : Prologo saddles, FSA chainrings, Elite bottle cages, Wahoo computers

EF Education-EasyPost is a case in point of the increasingly spendy bikes ridden by the pros. The latest LAB71 version of the Cannondale SuperSix Evo carries a juicy price tag (although the team was said to be riding rebadged standard Hi-Mod SuperSix Evo bikes last year).

The updates to the SuperSix look small, but in LAB71 guise, the new frame is claimed to weigh 770g, despite its threaded bottom bracket, and to be 12 watts faster. Pro builds are likely to skim the magic 6.8kg figure.

Other bits and bobs largely look to have remained as last year, with FSA/Vision wheels, although the cockpit on the new SuperSix Evo is a one-piece Cannondale System Bar. Probably as a result of a multi-year deal, the team is still using the Power2Max power meters that it’s had fitted to its bikes since 2019, despite its now close relationship with Wahoo, which has its own Powrlink Zero pedal power meter.

Groupama-FDJ (GFC)

• Framesets : Wilier Triestina Filante SLR / Turbine (TT)
• Wheels : Shimano Dura-Ace
• Components : Wilier bar/stems
• Pedals : Look Kéo 

One shock move in 2024 is Groupama-FDJ’s swap from Lapierre bikes to Wilier. The team had seemed eternally wedded to Lapierre, in a relationship that started way back in 2002. Lapierre’s decision to end the partnership may be a result of financial problems reported to be suffered by its parent Accell Group.

Wilier has a history of stepping up to supply WorldTour teams in distress when their previous bike sponsor has dropped out suddenly; it took over as bike supplier to Astana in 2020, replacing Argon 18. 

Ineos-Grenadiers (IGD)

• Framesets : Pinarello Dogma F / Bolide F (TT)
• Wheels : Shimano Dura-Ace / Princeton CarbonWorks
• Components : MOST handlebars and stems
• Other : Prologo saddles, Elite bottle cages, Garmin computers

It’s business as usual again this year for the Ineos Grenadiers team, with the Pinarello Dogma F road and Bolide F time trial bikes, and a mix of Shimano and Princeton CarbonWorks wheelsets, the latter for time-trial duty. 

The team has swapped from Fizik to Prologo saddles though and has replaced its Bioracer team kit with the lesser-known (at least in the UK) Spanish supplier Gobik. Sunglass supplier SunGod rapidly did the decent thing last year and produced a white frame for Geraint Thomas. 

Intermarché-Wanty (IWA)

• Framesets : Cube Litening Aero C:68X Pro / Aerium (TT)
• Drivetrain : Shimano Dura-Ace
• Wheels : Newmen Advanced SL
• Components : Cube integrated bar/stem
• Other : Prologo saddles and bar tape, Elite cages, CeramicSpeed OSPW, Bryton computers

There’s yet another marginal name change this year for Intermarché-Wanty, with Gobert Matériaux dropping out as a named sponsor, although everything else looks to be remaining as in 2023. That includes the Cube Litening road bike and wheels, with shouty logos from Cube-owned Newmen, along with the plus-sized CeramicSpeed derailleur cage.

Lidl-Trek (LTK)

• Framesets : Trek Madone SLR / Émonda SLR / Domane / Speed Concept (TT)
• Drivetrain : SRAM Red AXS
• Wheels : Bontrager Aeolus
• Components : Bontrager handlebars and stems
• Pedals : Time Xpro
• Tyres : Pirelli
• Other : Bontrager saddles, Wahoo computers

Aside from its name change mid-2023, Lidl-Trek starts 2024 with the same Trek-heavy line-up of sponsors as last year. Trek’s Bontrager brand is responsible for wheels and much of the rest of the componentry. 

Meanwhile, SRAM supplies the drivetrain, power meter and, via its Time brand, the team’s pedals. Tyres and cycling computers are the only deviations from the Trek/SRAM theme.

Movistar Team (MOV)

• Framesets : Canyon Aeroad CFR / Speedmax CF SLX (TT)
• Wheels : Zipp
• Components : Canyon handlebars and stems
• Other : Fizik saddles, Canyon bottle cages, Lizard Skins bar tape, Garmin computers

Movistar is entering 2024 with only minor changes of equipment from previous years. It’s another team using SRAM gearing, but in this case complete with wheels from Zipp for an all-SRAM package on its Canyon bikes. 

Last year, we suggested the team might be pre-release testing an upgrade to SRAM Red, but, like the changes to the Canyon Aeroad, we're yet to see an official announcement. The main change for this year is a pedal swap to Time from Look.

Soudal-QuickStep (SOQ)

• Framesets : Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 / Roubaix SL8 / Shiv (TT)
• Components : Roval bar/stem
• Tyres : Specialized S-Works Turbo
• Other : Specialized saddles, CeramicSpeed bearings, Tacx bottle cages, Supercaz bar tape, Garmin computers

Soudal-QuickStep is, like Bora-Hansgrohe, on Specialized bikes again this year. The upgrade of the Tarmac from SL7 to SL8 sees the bikes equipped with the one-piece Roval Rapide Cockpit. This component is said to account for around 4 watts of the SL8’s claimed 16.4 watts of aero gains over the SL7.

Apart from this aero upgrade, the rest of the team’s setup appears to remain the same as last year.

Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL (DFP)

• Framesets : Scott Foil RC / Plasma RC (TT)
• Wheels : Shimano Dura-Ace 
• Components : Syncros handlebars and stems
• Other : Syncros saddles, Elite bottle cages, Wahoo computers

Team DSM has picked up not one, but two new title sponsors since the start of 2023, with PostNL joining Firmenich on the team’s jerseys in 2024.

That seems to be the limit of the changes though, with the team sticking to its Scott Foil RC aero bikes, Syncros components and Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets again in 2024.

Team Jayco-AlUla (JAY)

Framesets : Giant Propel Advanced Disc / TCR Advanced SL Disc / Trinity Advanced Pro (TT)

Drivetrain : Shimano Dura-Ace, Cema bottom bracket

Wheels : Cadex

Components : Cadex bars and stems

Tyres : Cadex

Other : Cadex saddles, Giant bottle cages, Giant computers

The Giant sponsorship of Team Jaco-AlUla continues to the end of 2024 and sees the team riding predominantly the aero (but also lightweight) Propel Advanced, complete with wheels and other bits from Giant’s premium Cadex brand.

Cema has broken through the Giant sponsorship blockade though, supplying bottom bracket bearings, while Elite provides its Fly water bottles.

Team Visma | Lease a Bike (TVL)

• Framesets : Cervélo R5 Disc / S5 / Caledonia / P5 (TT)
• Wheels : Reserve 52/63
• Components : Cervélo handlebars and stems
• Pedals : Wahoo Speedplay 
• Other : Fizik saddles, Tacx bottle cages, Garmin computers

The dominant grand tour team of 2023 has lost its long-time sponsorship by the Dutch Jumbo supermarket chain, with Lease a Bike stepping up to co-title sponsor from its subordinate sponsorship in 2023.

Otherwise, things look to be remaining the same at the start of the 2024 season, with the team continuing to ride Cervélo bikes. Cervélo’s owner, Pon Holdings, has more-or-less a monopoly on the team’s equipment, also supplying its Reserve wheels, Nimbl shoes and BBB accessories. 

Lease a Bike is also a Pon-owned brand, while team cars will come via Pon’s Dutch Skoda distributor. Pon is also the Netherlands distributor for the MAN buses and trucks the team uses. 

UAE Team Emirates (UAD)

• Framesets : Colnago V4Rs / K.one (TT)
• Wheels : ENVE
• Components : Colnago integrated handlebars and stems
• Power meter : Shimano
• Other : Prologo saddles, Elite bottle cages, Wahoo computers

Last, but definitely not least, UAE Team Emirates was again top of the UCI team rankings in 2023, with Tadej Pogačar the leading rider.

Its winning combination extends to its bikes and equipment too, with the team retaining the same combination of Colnago V4Rs road bike, Shimano groupset and ENVE wheels in 2024.

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.

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.

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.

Pro cycling kits 2024: What the WorldTour teams are wearing

A run-down of all the colours among the top-level teams for the upcoming season

Cycling team kits 2024

With the New Year upon us, we're getting a clear picture of the sea of colour that will make up the pro pelotons in 2024.

Most teams have now unveiled their kits for the upcoming season, with some sticking to their 2023 designs but a fair few mixing things up with new designs.

Ineos Grenadiers ’ new kit , which is very similar to their old kit but made by a new supplier, was leaked online by their own rider , Egan Bernal, although most PR launch campaigns have gone off without a hitch – the most eye-catching being Julian Alaphilippe’s Celine Dion rendition for Soudal Quick-Step ’s get-up.

The Quick-Step kit is even less of a departure than Ineos’, with SD Worx and UAE Team Emirates among the other big teams to keep their tweaks to a minimum. As for the bigger changes, Bahrain Victorious have gone white, Jayco AlUla have had a complete redesign and Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale have ditched the infamous brown shorts.

As for those still to land, we are still waiting on the full reveal for the new dsm-firmenich PostNL number, which looks set to be white, blue and orange.

In this piece, we’ve gathered all the kits across the men’s and women’s WorldTours, all in one place, and we’ll keep it updated whenever a new one drops.

AG Insurance-Soudal

There's no significant change here, although we do apparently have "more playful" lines between the blue and white, and flowers "in motion" on the sleeves and sides.

Alpecin-Deceuninck

No new kit has broken cover so far for the Belgian team of the world champion Mathieu van der Poel .

Arkéa-B&B Hotels

The French team caught the most attention with their new kit thanks to a slightly strange Excalibur launch, complete with Arnaud Démare brandishing a sword. This jersey, which welcomes a new sponsor in B&B Hotels, is similar to 2023 but does contain some striking Excalibur-themed collage panelling.

Astana Qazaqstan

Astana's new kit is an evolution of their Tour de France special edition from 2023. The Pringle patterning is gone, replaced with a more contained section of that so-called "veins of mineral stones" design from last year's Tour.

Bahrain Victorious

Bahrain Victorious have played around with white jerseys at the Tour de France in the past, and they liked it so much they've made it their main kit. The old kit was red, black, and orange, so this presents a fresher, less obviously fossil-fuelled look.

Bora-Hansgrohe

Canyon-SRAM

The women's team have produced some of the most striking kits in the sport in recent years, and for 2024, they have not strayed from this trend. After using their previous design for two successive seasons, Canyon-SRAM have decided to shake things up ahead of the new campaign, with their new strip unveiled just ahead of the women's Santos Tour Down Under.

Kasia Niewadoma and her fellow Canyon-SRAM riders show off their new strip

Remaining with their tried-and-tested colours of blue, pink and purple - amongst others - Canyon-SRAM's new livery does away with some of the motifs that scattered the old design, and instead focuses on the 'harmonic riffs' of races.

Essentially, geometric patterns now dominate the jersey both front and back, designed to reflect the sounds of the peloton as it races along. We think this will remain one of the most popular kits in the world.

Ceratizit-WNT

The team haven't fully revealed their kit yet, releasing only a shot from the back and a blurred-out front-on shot, but it looks pretty similar to the blue and red design of 2023.

With Decathlon going all-in with the AG2R team, fellow French WorldTour squads are switching away from Van Rysel and forming a new partnership with Mobel Sport, although there's not much at all new about this 2024 design.

Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale

Decathlon's in-house brand Van Rysel is now with AG2R as part of the new sponsorship, and while they've retained the diagonal logo-ing, there's a new white and blue colour scheme. However, what caused the most outcry was the death of the brown shorts, long-derided but already strangely missed.

dsm-firmenich PostNL

The new dsm-firmenich PostNL jersey has proved one of the most divisive of the new campaign, with the Dutch squad making a total revamp of their look with the addition of PostNL as co-title sponsor.

Gone is the dark blue and black design, and in comes an eye-catching white, blue and orange attire that looks set to make the team stand out from the pack this season. Orange is, of course, the colour of PostNL, whilst the white base is complemented by light blue up top.

The new dsm-firmenich PostNL kit looks perfect for a summer's day

The bib shorts will be navy for the team and the old dsm logo is gone from the front of the jersey, to the delight of most. Whether you love it or hate it, you can't deny there is a real sense of fun in this new strip for 2024.

EF Pro Cycling

EF Pro Cycling unveiled their new pink and yellow jersey on 4 January with a host of colourful pictures taken at their recent winter training camp. The get-together was the biggest in the team's history, owing to the addition of EF Education-Cannondale women's team to the EF Education-EasyPost men's side.

EF Education-Cannondale and EF Education-EasyPost will wear the same kits in 2024, bar the odd sponsor change

The team's new jersey remains primarily pink, but is adorned with bright yellow graphics which are in ode to the team's life on the road, as well as their European base in Girona, Spain.

Fenix-Deceuninck

We're yet to see anything new from the team that's run by the same people as the men's Alpecin-Deceuninck outfit.

There are subtle but striking changes for FDJ-SUEZ's fresh look for 2024. Their jersey remains predominantly blue with red sprawling the left-hand shoulder and the bottom of the jersey fading to the black of the bib shorts.

FDJ-SUEZ unveiled their new kit on 1 January

However, a series of navy diagonals break up the lighter blue that the team is known for, rather than adopting more of a simple fade design that the team used in 2023. This makes for a much more impressive kit, in our opinion. French bank card network Cartes Bancaires will also be pleased, as their sponsorship extends from the jersey's shoulders to also featuring on the front of the top.

Groupama-FDJ

Like the women's FDJ team – although the two are not co-owned – the men's team had one of the most popular kits in 2023, trading white for a dark blue, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see them stick in 2024.

Human Powered Health

Human Powered Health have released a kit for 2024 that they are calling a "new refreshed look", but to our mind, it looks pretty much the same as it did in 2023. Orange forms the base colour of the jersey, with hues of red and purple forming gradient splodges across the design. It leans darker than the 2023 version, but all in all the American squad are sticking to a familiar visual identity.

Ineos Grenadiers

This one was leaked by Egan Bernal on Instagram, which perhaps made it seem a little uninspiring when the announcement did come. There's a change of supplier – GOBIK in for Bioracer – and there's more orange and more fade, but the overall look feels similar to 2023.

Intermarché-Wanty

The Belgian team wore three different jerseys in 2023, with special editions for the Giro and Tour – but they have settled on a brand-new design for 2024. After their main effort for 2023 had the look of a white jersey that had innocuously been damaged by knocked-over paint cans, the team have opted for a far more geometric design for the new campaign.

Well-known social media user and graphic designer Stycle Design has been drafted in by Intermarché-Wanty once again to design the jersey, whilst the team has agreed a new partnership with Belgian company Verge Sport to manufacture the kit.

© Alessandro Volders (Cycling Media Agency)

Intermarché-Wanty's new kit was unveiled on 26 December, 2023

White, fluorescent yellow and dark blue remain the team's core colours, with the right-hand side of the jersey predominantly yellow and dark blue patches colouring the white left-hand side.

As is the norm with this WorldTeam, multiple sponsors adorn the jersey, and it is Fantini who has been offered a far more prominent role in 2024, taking centre stage on the lower half of the top.

Liv AlUla Jayco

Liv Racing TeqFind and Jayco AlUla have merged over the winter, bringing an end to the former's spell as a WorldTeam, and bolstering the ranks available to Jayco AlUla. As we discussed in our Team Talk analysis , both squads struggled in 2023 and uniting forces should not only improve Jayco AlUla's WorldTeam, but has also allowed GreenEDGE Cycling to launch a new women's development side in the sport's lower tier.

Read more: Jayco AlUla Team Talk: Women’s teams combining forces to start anew

Both women's teams will be named Liv AlULA Jayco and with a new name comes a fresh kit - which is a drastic change from their 2023 effort. Gone is the white and blue design and emboldened remains Liv's trademark purple/aubergine.

© Liv Jayco AlUla

Liv AlUla Jayco's new kit was released on 1 January, alongside that of the men's team

The front of the jersey sees the bottom half in an orange shade to depict the sands of the Australian outback, which changes to purple for the Liv logo and fades to white at the very top of the jersey. The sleeves, meanwhile, are a dark navy, as are the sides of the jersey and accompanying bib shorts.

Liv and AlUla take prominence as the main title sponsors, whilst Jayco settles for a smaller slot above the right collarbone. Low-quality graphics had leaked of the jersey in the weeks ahead of its release, but the general consensus amongst the public is that this is a jersey that certainly looks better in person.

Jayco AlUla

The new kit for the men's Jayco AlUla outfit, who are of course a UCI WorldTeam in their own right, was unveiled alongside that of the women's on 1 January. It sees the men wear a kit with the same design as the women's teams, only with the aubergine of Liv Cycling swapped out for the light blue of Jayco - as was seen on the team's 2023 kit.

Jayco AlUla will sport a fresh look for 2024

One other notable difference between the sides is that the men will ride on Giant Bikes, as opposed to the Liv bikes that the women's teams will use. Liv is indeed a conglomerate company of Giant Bikes .

Lidl only joined as a title sponsor mid-way through the year, so it's no surprise the new kit that was cooked up then will be back for a full season of racing. Whereas they'd previously worn separate kits, the men's and women's teams are now wearing the same.

There's no big change for the Spanish team, who are sticking with a blue jersey with the big M. It does come with a little more excitement, though, with some artistic patterning as it fades towards the shorts.

Movistar's kit for 2024

Roland have parted ways with Israel-Premier Tech for 2024 and with that, the old blue-and-white design is put to rest. Instead, Roland returns to a base colour of ruby red, which the team used in the years before Israel-Premier Tech's involvement. Simple but arguably stylish, the new Roland kit also confirms the involvement of Pinarello as the team's bike manufacturer.

The Dutch team are changing names and sponsors, but not colours, sticking to the yellow and black scheme as they try and establish it as something of a team brand identity. However, it's definitely a brighter shade of yellow than previously, complete with honeycomb patterning that's part of that 'killer bee' branding. It's the same kit for the men's and women's teams.

UAE Team Emirates

The main change here is the removal of black from the jersey, the running joke being Tadej Pogačar wanting to go fully white now he's too old for the white jersey classification at the Tour de France. There's also a new design element with red, green, and black stripes at the base of the jersey.

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

Image: Cxcling Creative Agency/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

2023 WorldTour bikes and equipment - guide to what the men's and women's pro teams are riding

This year sees the return of Look and Bianchi to the peloton plus new bikes from Colnago and Cannondale...

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Before the dawn of year-round coverage, camera phones and social media accounts, the start of a new WorldTour season came with plenty of intrigue. Not only would we be getting our first look at pros riding for their current teams but also plenty of new road bikes , equipment and kit to drool over too, often done up in a fresh team livery.

Today? Not so much.

Keeping new gear a surprise is no longer en vogue. Nor is it always possible. Pros are spotted on prototype bikes during off-season training with regularity, and the snoopers now have a multitude of platforms on which to spill beans. Likewise teams and their sponsors have taken to testing unreleased gear during races, so by the time of the real launch the cycling media has already dissected the bike and assessed its likely merits or flaws. As for sponsorship changes, they're seemingly announced before they actually 'happen', usually in the form of a 280 character tweet.

That said, the early season races are still a lot of fun as we get to grips with updated team names, colours and gear. And while the sponsorship merry-go-round hasn’t exactly been spinning full tilt this off-season there are more than enough changes to keep any tech fan interested.

We’ve got new Canyons and Colnagos , more SRAM and less Campagnolo , the reintroduction of Bianchi and Look to the WorldTour stage and a controversial groupset change that won’t please the purists. 

Last year’s controversial points system means we also have two new teams among the 18 men's squads, while at the same time waving goodbye - for now at least - to two more. Meanwhile the Women's WorldTour expands to 15 teams. And for those of you who savour tradition there’s the obligatory Quickstep name change as well as the return of AG2R’s brown bib shorts.

Without further ado, the teams…

AG2R Citroën

There’s little change for the French outfit as they head into their 31st year of existence and 23rd season carrying the AG2R moniker. 

One again they’ll be riding BMC bikes, with the Teammachine , Timemachine Road and Timemachine TT all in play. They’re also sticking with Campagnolo groupsets and wheels - Super Record EPS and Bora - and are now the only men's team on the WorldTour stage using shiny bits from Vincenza. 

The Italian theme continues with Pirelli tires and Fizik saddles, while the team kit, including the trademark brown shorts, is made by Rosti.

Racing fans will notice a difference though. The BMC bikes are now painted bright blue and red, rather than the predominately white of last season. Whether this makes a difference to the performance of Ben O’Connor, Benoit Cosnefroy and others remains to be seen.

Alpecin-Deceuninck 

The first of our newly promoted teams, you could have been forgiven for thinking that the Belgian team were already WorldTour approved given the prominence of riders such as Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen, both who secured Grand Tour stage wins in 2022, with MVDP also triumphing at De Ronde . 

They’ll be riding the same gear as they did at ProTeam level, which means Canyon bikes equipped with Shimano’s top-tier Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and wheels, as well as Vittoria tires and Selle Italia saddles. 

Typically the team have relied on Canyon’s Aeroad CFR for the majority of races, both stage and one-day. However, Van der Poel was photographed during the off-season riding what appeared to be a prototype Canyon - most likely an updated Aeroad but as yet unconfirmed. Whatever the Dutchman is aboard, expect him to remain a central character throughout the season, such is his talent and versatility. 

Bikes: Canyon

Wheels: Shimano

Astana Qazaqstan

The Kazakh squad also heads into 2023 unchanged. Once again they’ll be riding Wilier bikes, Shimano groupsets and Corima wheels, typically the 47WS model. 

Befitting a team that has 10 Italians on its books, including Gianni Moscon and the only Nibali left in the peloton, Antonio, they’ll also be using Vittoria tires and Prologo saddles as well as wearing team kit made by Giordana.

The choice of Wilier framesets also remains, with the Zero SLR and Filante SLR the day-to-day line-up for the riders, with the Turbine TT bike ready for those efforts against the clock. However, they’ve been given a fresh lick of paint for 2023 and they might just be the prettiest bikes in the peloton . 

The Italian marque describes the colour scheme as “chrome-painted graphite” achieved using a “sophisticated hand painting process”, which results in a finish that wouldn’t look out of place in the interior of a Renaissance palace.

Bikes: Wilier Trestina

Wheels: Corima

Saddles: Prologo

Finishing kit: Wilier

Bahrain Victorious

Another team that’s subscribed to the ‘if it ain’t broke’ school of thought, Bahrain sets out for its seventh season riding familiar gear. 

Merida is again the bike supplier, with its Reacto, Scultura and Warp TT models forming the line-up. Shimano Dura-Ace is also retained as the team’s groupset, with wheels from Vision, saddles from Prologo and finishing kit handled by FSA.

The equipment served them well in 2022, with 21 victories, including stage wins in both the Giro and the TdF, courtesy of Luis Leon Sanchez, Pello Bilbao and Mikel Landa, with the two Spaniards both returning in 2023.

However, it was Matej Mohorič ’s victory in Milan-San Remo that was the more memorable, thanks to a no-holds barred descent off the Poggio aided by a dropper post and 180mm disc brake rotors. It’s probably safe to say that neither will be standard issue for the year ahead.

Bikes: Merida

Wheels: Vision

Tires: Continental

Finishing kit: FSA, Vision

Clothing: Alé

Bora-Hansgrohe

Last season was a breakout year for the German outfit, winning its first Grand Tour behind Jai Hindley at the Giro d’Italia . 

The Australian will remain their stage race leader, while sprinter Sam Bennett will hope to build on his two stage wins at the Vuelta as he looks to fully regain the form that saw him win the Green Jersey at the 2020 TdF .

They’ll be doing so aboard familiar bikes, with Specialized returning as the main equipment sponsor. The US brand not only supplies the Tarmac SL7 and Shiv TT bikes but also the wheels, in the shape of Roval, tires, saddles and finishing kit, where it shares duties with Shimano subsidiary PRO. 

Shimano will also provide the groupset, in the shape of 12-speed Dura-Ace Di2. In fact, the Japanese brand remains the dominant choice at the WorldTour level, supplying 14 of the 18 teams.

Bikes: Specialized

Wheels: Roval

Tires: Specialized

Canyon-SRAM Racing

Clearly, there are no prizes here for guessing this team's key sponsors. So once again the German-based squad will be racing on a mix of Aeroads, Ultimates and Speedmaxs, with SRAM's top-tier Red eTap gruppo used throughout. Elsewhere SRAM sister company Zipp supply the wheels, while Giant sister brand Cadex provides the saddles.

Britain's Alice Barnes departs to the Human Powered Health team but 2023 will see the WorldTour debut of Alex Morrice, with the GB rider securing her place on the time via the Zwift Academy.

Groupset: SRAM

Wheels: Zipp

Saddles: Cadex

Clothing: Canyon

You could argue there’s a certain symmetry gained by a team using equipment made, or at least designed, in its home country. Cofidis, who’ve been in existence since 1997, appear to agree, switching to a French accentuated line-up for the 2023.

The De Rosa bikes of last year are replaced with framesets from that most French of marques, Look. Likewise the move from Campagnolo groupsets to Shimano also means that the Campy wheels have been swapped out for another French brand, Corima. And they’ll be using Michelin tires, too.

As for bike choices, initially it seemed likely that the team would use the 795 Blade as their day-to-day machine, with the 785 Huez used for mountain stages and the 796 Monoblade for time trials. However, in the last few days Cofidis has released training camp images of a new, and yet unnamed, bike. The tube shapes, including drop stays, suggest something of an aero all-rounder, meaning this could well be the team’s go-to bike. 

Bikes: Look

Tires: Michelin

Clothing: Van Rysel

EF Education-EasyPost

The US team rolls into the 2023 season with an unchanged line-up of sponsors. Once again, we’ll see them aboard Cannondale bikes equipped with Shimano groupsets, Vision wheels and Prologo saddles. But despite the continuity, there’s still some noteworthy developments.

EF Education’s riders are pretty active on social media, meaning that keeping what appears to be an updated Cannondale SuperSix Evo under wraps was never going to be easy. In recent weeks we’ve seen a new bike appear on the accounts of Rigoberto Uran, Andrey Amador and more. When Rapha launched the team’s kit for the new season - yes, it’s still pink - the bike made yet another appearance. 

As for the changes from the Evo 3 to what we guess will be the Evo 4, think subtle reshaping rather than a radical redesign. Perhaps just as interesting is whether the team’s aero bike, the SystemSix, also receives a makeover at some point during the season.

Bikes: Cannondale

Tires: 

Clothing: Rapha

EF Education Tibco-SVB

Although the Women's WorldTour has a different co-sponsor, it's part of the EF Education family and thus shares the same suppliers as the men's squad.

Last year it racked up 13 victories using Cannondale's trifecta of race bikes alongside Shimano groupsets. With Zoe Bäckstedt on the team, fresh off her road race and time trial double at the Worlds in 2022, you'd figure they have a good shot of improving on this number.

Bikes: Cannondale 

Groupset: Shimano 

Wheels: Vision

Saddles: Prologo 

Finishing Kit: FSA

Clothing: Rapha

Despite the shared sponsor and country of origin, FDJ-Suez aren’t linked to the men’s Groupama team. 

However they will enter 2023 on similar equipment to their male counterparts. This means Lapierre bikes, typically the Xelius SL3, spec’d with Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and wheels. The team is home to one of the peloton’s best riders, and certainly its most quotable, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, which should add up to plenty of coverage for all involved.

Bikes: Lapierre

Saddles: Prologo

Fenix-Deceuninck 

Racing as Plantur-Pura in 2002, the German team marks its step up to WorldTour level in 2023 with a new name.

Like the men’s team (Alpecin, rather than Fenix), the women will compete aboard Canyon bikes, likely the Aeroad and the Ultimate, decked out in Shimano groupsets and wheels.

Bikes: Canyon 

Wheels: Shimano

Saddles: Selle Italia 

Finishing Kit: Canyon

Groupama-FDJ

Groupama-FDJ are another team who are sticking with the same gear as last year. For the French crew, who are entering their 28th season, this means a continuation of the long-running relationship with Lapierre bikes and Shimano groupsets and wheels. The model choices appear to be the same here too, with riders choosing between the Xelius and Aircode framesets depending on the stage or race profile.

The off-season did see an updated kit however. While still taking its colour palette cues from the tricolour, the predominately white kit of old has been replaced by a largely dark blue affair, somewhat similar in shade to the French national football jersey. 

The press launch was attended by many of the team riders, with Stefan Kung standing side-by-side with David Gaudu, perhaps to illustrate that Alé will be making the kit in a full range of sizes.

Bikes: Lapierre

Tires: Continental

Finishing kit: Lapierre

Human Powered Health

The US-based team enter another WorldTour season aboard Felt bikes, who they’ve partnered with since 2019. Its riders, who include the current Cypriot national champion on both the road and ITT, Antri Christoforou, will choose between Felt’s AR Aero and FR Race road bikes as well as its IA time trial model. All machines will be equipped with SRAM Red eTap AXS groupsets, Vision wheels and FSA finishing kit.

Bikes: Felt 

Groupset: SRAM 

Finishing Kit: FSA 

Clothing: Pactimo

INEOS Grenadiers

The Grenadiers’ equipment remains largely unchanged. Pinarello continues to supply the bikes, in the shape of the all-rounder Dogma F and the recently updated Bolide TT machine . Given the presence of current Hour record holder Fillipo Ganna, the latter receives a little more focus than time trial rigs ordinarily do.

Shimano remain on board, supplying 12-speed Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets as well as wheels, as do Continental and Fizik, who take care of tires and saddles respectively. Last year saw the UK team switch kit sponsor form Castelli to Belgian brand Bioracer and there’s a new kit for 2023, with the blue of last year replaced with a predominantly red and orange jersey matched to navy shorts. The team bike colour scheme follows suit.

A switch in sunglasses sponsors doesn’t normally generate headlines, but given the almost iconic status of Geraint Thomas’ white Oakley specs, the team’s move to the SunGod brand generated more than a few column inches. It will also likely make the Welshman a little harder to spot in the peloton.

Bikes: Pinarello

Finishing kit: MOST

Clothing: Bioracer

Intermarché-Circus-Wanty

The Belgian squad entered the 2023 season without a minor name change, and if last year is anything to go by then it should be fitting, with the team providing plenty of entertainment throughout the year. Biniam Girmay’s breakthrough wins at Gent-Wevelgem and a stage 10 in the Gir o carried great significance for the sport. There were also Grand Tour stages for Jan Hirt and Louis Meintjes.

Girmay and Meintjes return (Hirt has jumped ship for fellow Belgians Soudal-Quick Step) and will be riding familiar equipment. Cube, Shimano, Newman and Prologo remain, with Cube’s Litening C:68X the bike of choice, with the Aerium C:68 used during time trials. 

Bikes: Cube

Wheels: Newmen

Finishing kit: Cube

Clothing: Nalini

Israel-Premier Tech Roland

While the men’s team fell foul of the regulation system and enter 2023 as a ProTour outfit, Israel Premier Tech still retains WorldTour status, taking over as title sponsor of the women’s Roland Cogeas Edelweiss team.

The switch in name also means a change in equipment, with a list of suppliers that closely resembles the men’s. This means that Look bikes are replaced with models from Factor, including the Ostro VAM and the One, with the brand’s sister company Black Inc providing the wheels and finishing kit. As with the men, the bike’s are equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets.

Bikes: Factor 

Wheels: Black Inc

Tires: Maxxis

Jumbo-Visma

The Jumbo juggernaut was omnipresent in 2022. They racked up 48 wins including Paris-Roubaix, Omloop, E3 and overalls in the Critérium du Dauphiné, Paris-Nice and the Tour de France no less. The women's team also combined for 12 victories, including two Giro d'Italia Donna and two Tour de France Femmes stages courtesy of Marianne Vos. You might think that this would mean they would opt to stick rather than twist when it came to equipment choices. But not so.

Cervélo remains, with Vos, Wout van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard, Primož Roglič and others choosing between the updated S5, R5 and P5 models depending on the terrain and discipline. There's also the revamped Soloist too. The phrase 'spoilt for choice' to comes to mind.

However, Shimano are out as groupset sponsors, replaced by SRAM, who will bring its wireless eTap system to one of the most high-profile teams in the peloton. A change in groupset is not insignificant; riders will need to adapt to new methods of shifting and hood shapes as well as dialing in gear ratios based on the new chainring and cassette size options. 

There's also new wheelsets in the shape of Reserve hoops. Regardless of the changes, it’s hard to imagine this team with its embarrassment of riches skipping a beat, though.

Bikes: Cervélo

Groupset: SRAM 

Wheels: Reserve

Finishing kit: FSA/Cervélo

Liv Racing TeqFind 

The Liv Racing Squad have acquired a new title sponsor for 2023 but little else has changed.

Naturally they’ll be racing on Liv bikes once again, with the team swapping between the Langma and the Envie on the road, alongside the Avow when riding against the clock. Being a Giant brand, it also means they’ll be using Cadex wheels, with SRAM staying onboard as groupset suppliers.

Movistar is the team with the longest tenure in pro cycling, starting out in 1980 as the Reynolds-Benotto squad. 

If you’re thinking that Alejandro Valverde rode for them way back then you’d be being a little unkind, but the 42-year-old Spaniard, who retired at the end of last year and rode his entire WorldTour career for the team , will certainly leave a significant hole in the peloton. Those uphill finishes with a little kicker at the end just won’t be the same without him.

While Ol’ Bala is no more, the team sponsors remain in place. That means Canyon bikes, perhaps in the shape of  yet-to-be released Aeroad, SRAM Red eTap groupsets, again with potentially an updated version in the works, Zipp wheels and Fizik saddles. 

The only change then comes in the shape of the kit sponsor, with Gobik stepping in to replace La Passione. 

The women's team will use the same equipment as they hope to build on a dominant 2022 season that saw them notch 24 wins. This included a clean sweep of the Grand Tours by the peerless Annemiek van Vleuten, who's due to follow Valverde into retirement at the end of the year.

Clothing: Gobik

Soudal-Quick Step

While Benjamin Franklin was sure that death and taxes were life’s only certainties, had he lived long enough to add pro racing to his long list of interests he may have seen fit to add Quick Step name changes, too.

The Belgian team began 2023 as Soudal-Quick Step, its eighth name change if you’re counting. Elsewhere though, solidity. Specialized returns, with the US brand supplying bikes, wheels, in the shape of subsidiary brand Roval, saddles, tires and finishing kit. Shimano and Castelli also remain as groupset supplier and kit maker respectively.

They’ll be hoping that equipment continuity translates to continued success for Remco Evenepoel, who had a season for the ages in ‘22. The Belgian wunderkind won his first Grand Tour at the Vuelta as well as two Monuments and a World Champs rainbow jersey to boot. 

Clothing: Castelli

Arkéa-Samsic

Making their WorldTour debut, the French team are marking the occasion with plenty of equipment changes.

Out goes Canyon as their bike sponsor, and in comes Bianchi, marking the Italian brand’s return to racing’s top tier. Riders will switch between the Oltre RC, an aero bike, the Specialissima, a climbing bike, and the Aquilla TT model. 

The updated Oltre RC received plenty of attention on its release last year, due in no small part to its aggressive aero shapes and Formula 1 inspired ‘air deflectors’ on the head tube. However the vents aren’t UCI legal, so the team will have to live without their purported watt-saving properties.

Shimano takes care of groupset and wheels, although they’ll swap to Vision hoops for time trials. Other suppliers include Selle Italia saddles and Continental tires, while Ekoi are retained on kit duty.

Groupset: Shimano

Wheels: Shimano/Vision

Finishing kit: Vision/FSA

The Dutch team, at least from the men's perspective, will be hoping to move on from 2022, where they managed only 10 wins, with Thymen Arensmen’s stage win in the Vuelta the high point. However, with the talented 23-year-old lured to Ineos for the new season, even this turned bittersweet.

Arensmen’s preference for a flashier team bus means that Roman Bardet is back to being the team’s de facto GC leader. The enigmatic Frenchman will assume these duties aboard familiar equipment. Scott returns as bike sponsor, with its recently updated Addict RC likely to do the lion’s share of the work.

Shimano too are back, supplying Dura-Ace Di2 gruppos as well as wheels, most likely in the shape of the C36, C50 and C60 models, with the number correlating to rim depth. All will be shod in Vittoria tires. Scott subsidiary Syncros will take care of the finishing kit while Italian brand Nalini are providing the kit, albeit with the help of DSM’s own Dyneema material, which is apparently lighter than polyester and stronger than steel.

The women's team however faired better in 2022, with 28 wins, mostly secured by the dominant Lorena Wiebes. With the Dutch sprinter now riding for SD Worx, they'll be looking to the likes of Pfeiffer Georgi, Juliette Labous and Charlotte Kool to pick up the slack.

Bikes: Scott

Saddles: PRO

Finishing kit: Syncros

Jayco AlUla

Team BikeExchange-Jayco return in 2023 as Jayco AIUIa but the equipment suppliers remain unchanged.

The tried-and-tested formula of Giant, Cadex and Shimano returns, having helped to bring the Aussie team 22 victories in 2022, six of which were Grand Tour stages; who could forget Michael Matthews holding off EF’s Alberto Bettiol for a memorable solo win on stage 14 of the TdF, or indeed, Simon Yates’s surprise win in the individual time trial at the Giro, which he followed up with another stage a week or so later in Turin.

The man from Bury will again be able to choose between Giant’s Propel Advanced SL and TCR Advanced SL on the road, while hopping aboard the Trinity TT bike when required, all equipped with Shimano groupsets and Cadex wheels and saddles.

The women's squad shares the same sponsors as their male counterparts, however use the Giant made, female-specific Liv frames, saddles and finishing kit.

Bikes: Giant / Liv

Wheels: Cadex

Tires: Cadex

SD Worx 

SD Worx figures to be quite the force in 2023. By bringing in the talents of sprinter Lorena Wiebes, they're adding a proven winner to a squad that notched up 19 victories in 2022, including a Paris-Roubaix/Tour of Flanders double for Lotte Kopecky and an Amstel Gold win for Demi Vollering.

Once again they'll be going into battle with Specialized providing many of its weapons. This means Tarmac SL7 bikes equipped with Specialized tires and saddles. Spesh in-house brand Roval are also added to the mix, replacing Zipp as wheel suppliers. The groupset, like last year, is provided by Shimano.

Wheels: Roval

Trek-Segafredo

Trek made a few waves last year when it debuted its updated Madone aero bike at the TdF, largely due to the inclusion of its new IsoFlow technology, which puts a hole in the seat tube area for better aerodynamics and a reduction in weight. 

Trek-Segafredo sprinter Mads Pedersen, who was instrumental in the bike’s design, won stage 13 to prove its design virtues before adding an exclamation point at the Vuelta, where he clinched the points jersey aided by three stage wins. 

The Madone returns for 2023, as does Trek’s updated Domane and the lightweight Emonda, with all three used by both the men's and women's squads. SRAM is again the groupset supplier, decking the bikes out in its Red eTap AXS bits. Trek subsidiary Bontrager then fills in the gaps, providing the wheels and tires as well as the finishing kit and saddles. A case of as you were, then.

UAE Team Emirates

This year figures to be an important one for the UAE team. While they matched Jumbo-Visma for victories in '22, losing the TdF to Jonas Vingegaard will have been a bitter pill to swallow, particularly with Tadej Pogacar looking to complete a hat-trick of wins at the world’s biggest stage race. 

They’ll enter 2023 with revenge in mind and a new bike to boot, the Colnago V4RS . It’s ostensibly the prototype that Pog rode for much of the season, now officially launched as the reboot of the bike he won his two TdF crowns aboard. 

Perhaps controversially, they’ll be equipping the bike with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, with Campagnolo out as groupset sponsor. It’s a move that will upset the Colnago cognoscenti who see matching the marque with anything other than Campag as sacrilegious. Even the less fanatical often likely find Shimano parts on a Colnago a little jarring.

But the modern sporting world cares little for tradition and a few early season wins will more than justify the switch to the team at least. With Campag gone, UAE have switched to Enve wheels, while Pirelli rubber has been replaced by tires from Continental. There’s probably more than a few Italians turning in their graves as a result.

Bikes: Colnago

Wheels: Enve

Finishing kit: Colango

UAE Team ADQ 

The UAE women's team will also be riding the new Colnago equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 and Enve wheels. They'll be hoping that the changes help not hinder their progress as they look to add to their 17 wins of last season.

Uno-X Pro Cycling Team

The Uno-X squad sees little equipment change for 2023. Norwegian direct to consumer brand DARE continue to supply the bikes and finishing kit, while Shimano and DT Swiss take care of the groupset and wheels respectively.

Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck won the fastest ever Milan-Sanremo Classic in a photo finish on Saturday to claim the first Monument of the season, a 288-km ride from Pavia to Sanremo.

New Tonali charges come as no surprise to Newcastle boss Howe

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe said the FA's decision to charge Sandro Tonali over alleged betting breaches came as no surprise to the club and he hopes the midfielder escapes further punishment.

After using just two starting pitchers over their first three games, the Los Angeles Dodgers will get a new face into the mix when hard-throwing right-hander Bobby Miller makes his season debut against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

2024 Tour of Flanders riders to watch

Men's race - 2024 riders to watch.

A mass crash during the Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday ruled out some of his biggest contenders, including Wout van Aert, who suffered fractured collarbone and ribs. Defending champion Tadej Pogacar decided to skip the Ronde this year to focus on the preparation of the Giro d'Italia. The big names who will be competing are:

• Mathieu van der Poel (NED/Alpecin Deceuninck): The two-time winner (2020, 2022) is considered the undisputed favourite after dominating the E3 Saxo Classic and finishing second at last week's Gent-Wevelgem, and with archrival van Aert not competing.
• Matteo Jorgenson (USA/Team Visma | Lease a Bike): The American rider is expected to lead his team following his win at the Dwars door Vlaanderen and the injuries carried by both Tiesji Benoot and Jan Tratnik. This season he also claimed the general classification at the Paris-Nice.
• Alberto Bettiol: The Italian is a former winner of the Ronde and, despite suffering from cramps at the recent Dwars door Vlaanderen, has demonstrated a good form by winning the Milano-Torino and finishing fifth at the Milan-San Remo.

Women's race - 2024 riders to watch

• Lotte Kopecky (BEL/SD Worx-Protime): The Belgian superstar and reigning world champion is aiming for a third consecutive Flanders title after her convincing victories at Strade Bianche and Nokere Koerse so far this spring.
• Demi Vollering (NED/SD Worx-Protime): The Tour de France Femmes reigning champion, who finished third at Strade Bianche, is ready to step up as a leader if Kopecky finds herself in difficulty.
• Elisa Balsamo (ITA/Lidl-Trek): Italy's 2021 road world champion has impressed this season, showing that she can both climb and sprint by winning the Trofeo Alfredo Binda and the Brugge-De Panne.

Dwars door Vlaanderen 2024: Marianne Vos beats Shirin van Anrooij in sprint, lands 'special' 250th career win

Published 27/03/2024 at 20:07 GMT

Marianne Vos admits she cannot believe how well she has started the 2024 season. The Dutchwoman won the Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday, narrowly holding off Shirin van Anrooij in a sprint finish. It's already her second win of the campaign, and the 250th race victory of her career. She says that figure is a "number you don't dare to think about at the beginning of your career".

Then & Now: Moscow grad rides for top cycling team

Diabetics overcome

Kyle Rose likes to say how amazed he is that a handful of diabetics in a hotel room turned their passion for bicycling into big-time competition.

He’s even more amazed he is now under the Team Type I umbrella.

The 1997 graduate of Moscow, Idaho, High School is a member of the Team Type I elite team, not to be confused with the Team Type I pro team, pro women’s team, triathlon team or Type 2 team.

“The shock of being diagnosed makes you doubt all aspects of life,” Rose, 29, said of learning at age 16 that he had diabetes. “That’s why I’m so happy to be part of a team whose mission statement is to inspire those with diabetes. … If you manage it you can aspire to do anything, especially using the tools we use.”

Rose is gearing up to compete in RAAM, the Race Across America, a 3,000-mile journey from Oceanside, Calif., to Annapolis, Md.

RAAM is billed as the “World’s Toughest Bicycle Race,” and was just the platform collegiate racers Phil Southerland (Georgia) and Joe Eldridge (Auburn) were looking for when they formed Team Type I in 2004 after discovering their common bond.

The first splash was made when they won RAAM in 2006 and it has grown from there.

Team Type I set a record in winning RAAM in 2007, with Rose part of the support crew, so inspired that he made it his goal to participate. He was an alternate last year when the team was second to a Finnish team and is part of the eight-man team that will push off on June 20.

“Our goal is to disprove the stereotypes about people with diabetes and prove that if we control our blood sugars we can accomplish great things,” he said.

Rose never envisioned this type of participation growing up in Moscow. He played soccer and did some running and tennis, but his biking was recreational. He was aware of professional racing because his father, a foreign language and literature professor at the University of Idaho now retired, taught in France on occasion.

“The area we lived in, right in the middle of the Alps, the Tour d’France would pass right in front of our driveway,” Rose said. “I developed an enthusiasm for the sport at an early age but I never knew I’d be racing.”

After a trip to the Idaho state soccer playoffs and graduating, Rose went to Cornell to study chemical engineering.

“It was a tough time for me,” he said. “It was the first time I’d been on my own in general, and to boot I had diabetes to deal with. It took some tough love from my endocrinologist telling me this was something I couldn’t ignore. It took a little bit of me learning from my mistakes. I wasn’t managing my diabetes like I should be but it was easy to see how miserable I was going to be.

“I had some up and down years.”

He gives a lot of credit to the Type 3 diabetics – family and friends who support diabetics.

Rose began to learn about the technology available for diabetics and when he graduated he went to work in San Francisco for a start-up company in the medical/diabetes industry.

He met Southerland at a diabetes conference after the startup was bought by Abbott Labs, which got involved as one of the first sponsors for Team Type I in 2006.

Getting ready to race across the country would seem to be a full-time job.

“I want to say yes, but I still have a day job,” Rose said. “Now I work as a diabetes consultant to various companies. … I’m more into marketing instead of research and development.”

In 2008, 40 teams and 25 solo riders started RAAM.

Team Type I splits into two groups of four, with half riding for about four or five hours while the other half goes ahead to try to sleep. The riding is usually solo, although there are a few places where several riders may set up a draft line. For the most part, a solo rider will go all out for about a half-hour, then pass the flag to a teammate.

“Logistically, it’s very hard to coordinate,” Rose said. “There are real strict rules; a lot of safety.”

Southerland and Eldridge no longer ride RAAM since they formed the pro team in 2008. They ride against the best in such competitions as the Tour of California and Tour d’Georgia with a goal of one day tackling the Tour d’France.

The pro team has four Type I diabetics, a number that Rose would like to see increase by one.

“It’s what I aspire to,” he said. “When I watch Phil and Fabio (Calabria), it’s so inspiring. My role on the team has progressed but I’m not quite sure I could handle the 35-mile-an-hour turns (in a congested race).”

Dealing with diabetes is the easy part.

“When I’m riding, or just living life, I have two tools on me,” Rose said, referring to his continuous blood glucose monitor and his insulin pump. “I’m able to fine-tune what I need to keep my blood sugar in check, especially in my training.”

The eight-rider women’s pro team has two Type I diabetics. The other teams are all diabetics, 14 for Rose’s elite team, nine with Team Type 2, which is also doing RAAM, and 10 triathletes, all Type I.

“Our goal is to spread education and awareness of diabetes management,” Rose said. “We’re proving it by winning some races. When I’m hammering on the bike, I think of kids newly diagnosed. I remember when I was 16, looking for a role model.”

Now, amazingly, he is one.

This Rider Is on a Mission to Show Kids of Philadelphia the Power of Cycling

“Cycling has provided me a way to connect with people from all walks of life, and I really couldn’t see life any other way.”

I started cycling in November 2020, after taking time that year to really focus on and reprioritize my health. Up to that point I had been doing a lot of bodyweight exercises and hiking, and had lost a considerable amount of weight, but a good friend, Mike Brown, tricked me into a bike ride, and it was probably one of the best things I didn’t know I needed in my life!

I didn’t have a bike at the time, so he let me borrow one of his, and a group of us went out and did 20-plus miles that day. Afterwards, I remember being able to walk and not be in pain, and I was hooked! I then found a bike within two weeks, and I’ve been rolling ever since!

Since I started late in the year, I was a winter warrior. I was riding a few days a week, because I just loved the feeling of completing a ride. I used Strava to track my routes and mileage , but I didn’t care about the metrics, I just wanted to be on my bike.

When it got a little warmer out, Mike suggested I look into racing . I had never been to a race, but he took me to the Armed Forces Cycling Classic in spring 2021 to spectate, and I was hooked. The atmosphere was electric and I went home and signed up for my first race.

Once I knew there were beginner race categories for women, I couldn’t help but throw myself into it fully! My first race was the Pottstown Bike Race in June 2021. I got dropped early in the race, but I loved every moment of competing again.

I’ve gotten a little more serious with training and am looking forward to my third season of racing this upcoming spring and summer.

My love of cycling also led me to the Bicycle Coalition Youth Cycling (BCYC) . The BCYC program works with youth ages 12 to 18 across Philadelphia in building healthy habits , leadership, and independence through the sport of cycling. We’ve partnered with several schools and community sites in Philadelphia to offer an afterschool program free of charge to the youth. We provide everything from bikes , helmets , apparel, snacks , and coaching to our youth who participate in our spring, summer, and fall programming.

As the program director, I’m in charge of logistics, collaborating with schools and community sites that host our programs, connecting with organizations and individuals who support our programming, managing events, and leading our team. We work with teams of approximately 10 to 15 youth at each of the partner sites. This spring we partnered with 10 locations. Working with kids has been energizing and rewarding.

We have leadership tiers that allow participants opportunities to grow on and off the bike, and scholarship and mentorship opportunities for graduating seniors and alumni of the program. This program exposes youth to the physical, mental, and social aspects of cycling.

Cycling has given me an outlet to grow physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially, and so it was natural to give back to my community.

I am also grateful for the opportunity to represent Thee Abundance Project , an initiative created by Ayesha McGowan (the first African-American woman pro road cyclist) to eliminate barriers for women of color to participate in bike racing. I also experienced my first regional race series at the Tour of America’s Dairyland in June 2022 through the support of grants, and have many “sisters” in racing because of it!

My journey has also inspired me to partner with Mike Brown and start our own team, SOAR Foundation Racing , which is entering its third season on the crit racing scene and has helped to make BIPOC riders feel supported on their journey.

Getting on a bike and finding racing has given me a joy of competing that I’ve longed for since my basketball days were over and has given me an outlet to grow my healthy habits and a wonderful community along the way. I’ve traveled more since I’ve started riding, for cycling-related events and races, than I ever could have imagined, and the people I’ve gotten to meet and know along the way have changed my life.

Cycling has provided me a way to connect with people from all walks of life, and I really couldn’t see life any other way.

These three tips have made my cycling journey a success:

1. have fun.

Why do it if you’re not having fun? Continue to find ways to enjoy the same thing and there will always be something to look forward to. Find a group you enjoy having fun with and the memories will create themselves.

2. Don’t be afraid to try new things

If we fear the unknown, we may never know the power we have to conquer that “thing.” Believe in yourself and be amazed at all the possibilities that unfold. Do things out of your comfort zone because the worst that can happen is you decide it’s not for you and then you know for sure.

3. Rest and recover

As a racer, it’s easy to get caught up in the thought process of having to do more—more time in the saddle, more intervals , more intensity, etc. I’ve had to shift my mindset to rest and recovery is just as important. Find a routine that works for you, and make sure it includes downtime so your body can adjust, adapt, and be prepared for the next set of challenges.

Lana’s Must-Have Gear

→ RAVEMEN Bike Front Tail Light Set : Safety first! I just got these lights and so far I love them. My Garmin computer stacks perfectly on top for a clean look up front.

→ Giro Eclipse Spherical Road Helmet : When I crashed in a race last season, I hit my head and my Giro helmet prevented me from having any head-related injuries. I am excited to rock this one this season!

→ SaltStick Electrolyte Fastchews : These have saved me on many rides. They offer fast relief and replenishment of nutrients lost on a long ride or hard training ride. I try to keep these in my back pocket when needed.

→ Garmin 530 Edge : This is the only bike computer that I’ve had, but so far it’s worked well for me. It’s been easy to upload routes and workouts, and syncs to my Garmin Forerunner 255 watch.

The best way to explore Moscow!

The cycling tour was definitely the highlight of our visit of Moscow. Vado was an excellent guide. His English is very good, he knows a lot about the city and everything's there's to see, not only the most touristy places. He is perfectly able to improvise and customise the tour to whatever you want to see or know about. As we had already seen the Red Square and its surroundings, he showed us some spots that you wouldn't normally get to see on a first visit of the city. Especially the parks were great to cycle through. He is very concerned about your safety and well-being. As we were enjoying it so much, he made the tour even much longer than was indicated on the website. We made some welcome stops for coffee, lunch and icecream. If you want, he also takes pictures of you throughout the tour (free of charge!), which is a very nice plus. I would recommend Moscow Bike Tours to anyone visiting the city, be it for the first time or not!

We had such a great time with Vado on our bike tour. He was super knowledgable of the city and had such interesting facts about things we would never even know to ask about. He took us on a private tour and we were able to customize it to what we liked. He always was conscious of our safety and did not ride too fast or too slow. I especially liked how he took pictures throughout our travel. We would love to do another bike tour with him and explore other gems Moscow has to offer.

This tour was fun, adjusted to our needs and wishes - several times actually on the tour. The guide Vado was very knowledgeable on various subjects, very willing to share it, answer questions and just a very likeable guy. He helped us finding a taxi at a reasonable rate (lot's of different rates for taxi's) and not reading the Cyrillic alphabet and since this is not a big company with a big logo (which is part of their quality) we do recommend taking a taxi to their location. We did find their bikes in the driveway and a very discreet label with their phone number. We can honestly say we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and can recommend it.

From booking this trip through to getting the photos after, Vado, with his perfect English, was a superstar, certainly not letting us down on the day with his insightful, informative and exciting bike tour around Moscow. I really do believe that this is the best (and certainly most healthy) way of seeing the busy city. You not only see the main sites, but all those small places that you would never get to see otherwise, allowing you to interact with the people and places, which would otherwise be impossible on a bus tour. Vado ensured that we went at a pace we were comfortable with and stayed safe on the roads. I was incredibly impressed with the work the local mayor is overseeing to make it a bike friendly city. This is a big thumbs up from my wife and I.

I spent a week in Moscow with a friend and we wanted to get a good overview of the city on the first stay, which we got with the bike tour. The tour was worth every penny we paid for it. We started at midday right on time and the tour ended at about 7 pm with a lunch break. We got to see the main sights of the city and since we booked a private tour we could stop anywhere we wanted, to take pictures, to visit a couple of monasteries... Our guide, Nadia, was very nice, she knew many stories about many things we got to see, recommended more things we could do during our stay, restaurants we could go to, good Russian or Soviet movies we should watch... We had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour.

The tour was everyting and more than what we expected. Vado is a very frienly and knowledgeable person. He speaks fluent english with a lot of humor. We covered the whole city in 6 hours, had a lovely lunch at an old soviet diner. I would definately advice any person who visits Moscow to do the cycling tour on their first or second day. Thanks Vado for a great day well spend!

Wout van Aert has surgery after bad crash; could miss Giro d'Italia

BRUSSELS — Belgian cyclist Wout van Aert has undergone surgery after suffering multiple fractures in a crash which has put his Giro d’Italia entry in doubt, his team said on Thursday.

Van Aert crashed at high speed on Wednesday during the Dwars door Vlaanderen race. He suffered a broken sternum, broken collarbone and broken ribs.

The accident ruled him out of Sunday’s Tour of Flanders classic, one of his main goals this season, and he will remain sidelined for weeks.

“It’s unclear when Wout will be able to get back on his bike,” the Visma-Lease a Bike team said. “He will, therefore, miss the spring classics. His participation in the Giro d’Italia in May is still uncertain.”

Van Aert is widely considered one of the world’s best and most versatile riders. The three-time cyclocross world champion is also the winner of 10 stages and the points classification at the Tour de France. He’s also won major races such as the Milan-San Remo, Strade Bianchi, Gent-Wevelgem and Amstel Gold Race.

With the Giro in doubt, Van Aert might decide to focus instead on the Tour de France before the Paris Olympics .

Who's riding what in the WorldTour? Now with the addition of the peloton's indoor cycling setups

Welcome to the Cyclingnews round-up of the 2020 men's WorldTour teams and the tech they are using this season. 

The growth of the WorldTour from 18 to 19 teams saw space for even more bike tech to feature. We saw all the new tech at the Tour Down Under in January, as well as a glimpse into the Classics tech at Opening Weekend before racing was halted due to the coronavirus, and while racing is on hold for the time being, teams are taking to indoor cycling tech in order to keep up fitness and exposure. 

Below, we'll provide details of the changes seen as 2019 became 2020, and we'll give an overview of the cycling tech that each team is using, including their riders' indoor cycling 'pain caves'.

Every year, due to contracts coming to an end and new sponsors coming in to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the WorldTour stage, professional cycling teams and their sponsors frequently part ways and form new partnerships. 

It's sometimes hard to keep track of who's now sponsored by who, and which equipment cycling teams are using.

For some, these partnerships are organised well in advance, but in other cases, teams face a last-gasp scramble to attract sponsorship in order to survive, let alone kit out their riders for the season ahead.

It's not uncommon to see a carousel of change as teams and suppliers find new opportunities and form agreements elsewhere. For example, ahead of the 2019 season, three big bike brands enjoyed a merry-go-round of team sponsorship changes. BMC Racing morphed into CCC Team and switched from  BMC bikes to Giant . Team Sunweb, in turn, switched out their Giant bikes for Cervélo , leaving  Dimension Data to ride aboard BMC  to complete the triangle.

2020 WorldTour sponsorship changes

With the news that Endura had ceased sponsorship of Movistar , a void was left in the Spanish outfit's clothing department, ahead of the news that Italian company Alé would supply the team with kit from 2020 onwards. Movistar continue to ride aboard Canyon bikes for a sixth year, although their use of Campagnolo groupsets ceased for the first time in 37 years, with SRAM providing the team with a disc-only fleet for the 2020 season.

The much-documented merge between Katusha and Israel Cycling Academy saw Canyon step away, dropping its total of sponsored WorldTour teams to just one. Alongside its focus on the Alpecin-Fenix ProTeam outfit of Mathieu van der Poel and its title sponsorship of the Canyon-SRAM women's team, it also followed Nairo Quintana in his move from Movistar to the Arkéa–Samsic ProTeam.

The newly structured Israel Start-Up Nation – home to both André Greipel and Dan Martin – are aboard Factor Bikes . The British bike brand's agreement with AG2R La Mondiale came to a close at the end of the 2018 season, commencing a 12-month hiatus from the WorldTour as it switched focus to supplying bikes to the Pro Continental outfit Roompot-Charles along with women's UCI team Parkhotel Valkenburg .  Roompot-Charles folding at the end of the 2019 season freed up the Norfolk-based company to step back up to the WorldTour.

Following the surprising decision by Team Ineos to use Lightweight wheels at the Tour de France , it was perhaps a surprise to see no equipment changes there ahead of the 2020 season. Egan Bernal 's Tour de France win is clearly good for the sponsors' return on investment, and Team Ineos have continue aboard Pinarello bikes this season, with Shimano providing the groupsets and wheels.

That said, during the UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire , a number of Team Ineos riders were seen using new wheels from a company called Princeton CarbonWorks , whose wheels are distinctive by their sinusoidal (wavy) rim profile. It seems Ineos have struck a deal to use these wheels in time trials for the 2020 season.

A team that made big changes was Bahrain McLaren . Mark Cavendish 's new team switched out their Fulcrum wheels in favour of Vision, and moved away from Sportful clothing in favour of former pro Yanto Barker 's brand, Le Col.

Astana 's three-year deal with Argon 18 finished at the end of the 2019 season, and was not renewed , so for 2020, while the Kazakh team will continue using Corima wheels, Wilier now provides the framesets . 

Finally, with Cofidis stepping up to the WorldTour , and their original two-year deal with Kuota expiring at the end of 2019, the change in tier led to a change in bike sponsor. De Rosa, who previously supplied Israel Cycling Academy, made like their former team by climbing up to the WorldTour, but in Cofidis colours for 2020.

Indoor cycling tech

With racing on pause for 2020, WorldTour riders have fast adapted to the world of indoor cycling. 

Alpecin-Fenix organised the Ronde van Zwift , in which the team took on dedicated eRacing teams such as Canyon ZCC and Kalas. Mitchelton-Scott have been running organised Zwift rides , and with the cancellation of the Tour of Flanders , there was even a Lockdown Edition run on Rouvy, won by CCC Team 's Greg Van Avermaet .

Sponsors have invested heavily in kitting their riders out with the best turbo trainers to ensure their riders can not only train, but also utilise their form to race on platforms such as Zwift and Rouvy . Cyclingnews recently had a bit of fun by rating the peloton's pain caves .

Scroll down for the full round-up of who's on what for 2020. 

New bike tech in 2020

When it comes to new bike launches, 2019 was the year of conformity, with a range of manufacturers all seeming to converge on particular design features for their lightweight climbing bike offerings.

While the BMC Teammachine and Specialized Tarmac were early adopters of the dropped seat stay and aerodynamic carbon tubing, 2019 saw similar silhouettes launched by a number of other brands, with the Cannondale SuperSix EVO , Focus Izalco Max, Orbea Orca, Scott Addict RC and Wilier 0 SLR all coming to similar conclusions after wind-tunnel testing.

For 2020, it looks as though Giant has stuck to its guns, though. The new Giant TCR looks to be more evolution than revolution. 

In keeping with its traditional three-year product cycle, we're expecting the Specialized Tarmac will receive a refresh for 2020, too, although at this stage the team at Specialized remain tight-lipped. The Trek Emonda also hasn't seen wholesale change since 2018, so we're expecting the American giant to retain its hyper-lightweight frame design, but with a keener eye on aerodynamics. 

Talking of aerodynamics, rumours are rife of a new Canyon Aeroad after Mathieu van der Poel was seen riding an as-yet-unreleased Aeroad at the Primus Classic and Gooikse Pijl . Details are currently sparse, but we'll be sure to bring you more as they become available.

Alongside this, his love for WorldTour racing and eagle eyes mean he's often breaking tech stories from the pro peloton too. 

On the bike, 32-year-old Josh has been riding and racing since his early teens. He started out racing cross country when 26-inch wheels and triple chainsets were still mainstream, but he found favour in road racing in his early 20s and has never looked back. He's always training for the next big event and is keen to get his hands on the newest tech to help. He enjoys a good long ride on road or gravel, but he's most alive when he's elbow-to-elbow in a local criterium.
