Stage one report: Bilbao to Bilbao

Adam Yates took the stage win and the race leader’s yellow jersey that went with it as he beat his twin brother Simon by four seconds in Bilbao.

Adam Yates speaks ...

“I don’t even know what to say,” he gaspos, struggling for breath. “I attacked on the descent after saetting the climb up for Tadej and my brother came across to work with me. At first I didn’t know if I should work with him so I asked on the radio and they said ‘Go for it!’. I’m speechless.”

On duking the finish out with his twin brother: “I speak to him every day and we’re rally close, so to share this experience is really nice. I wish he would pull a little bit easier because he almost dropped me at one moment. I’m super happy! I want to keep my feet on the ground because we’re here for Tadej and he’s the boss. Over the next few weeks, I’m sure he’s going to show a lot.”

It's a Yates one-two on stage one ...

Adam Yates leads his twin brother Simon home, winning an eventful stage one in 4hr 22min 49sec. He’ll take the yellow jersey. They attacked just after the final climb passing Pogacar and Vingegaard just before the descent began. It’s a big day for the Yates family – Adam takes his first ever stage win and the Maillot Jaune that happens to go with it.

Adam Yates wins Stage One

800m to go: Simon Yates (Jayco Alula) leads his brother Adam (UAE) but is overtaken. Adam Yates pulls clear on the ramp towards the finish line. His brother Simon follows him home. Tadej Pogacar finishes third. It’s a one-two for the Yates brothers and a one-three for Team UAE.

2km to go: Adam and Simon Yates are sharing the work as they head towards the final ramp that leads to the finish. There’s no time for any cat-and-mouse tomfoolery.

3km to go: Brothers Adam and Simon Yates have opened a lead of 16 seconds over the Vingegaard group. Julian Alaphilippe is way back and won’t be winning today.

8km to go: Pogacar and Vingegaard go over the top of the Col du Pike with only Cofidis rider Victor Lafay for company and the front of the race looks to have been blown to smithereens for now at least. More and more riders will catch them on the downhill, you’d presume.

10km to go: Tadej Pogacar tries to attack on the climb but Jonas Vingegaard is glued to his wheel. Not literally, of course – he’s not a Just Stop Oil protestor.

11km to go: Back at the front of the race, all the big guns are in good positions as they approach today’s final climb, the Category 3 Cote de Pike. It’s two kilometres in length and 212 metres high with a gradient of 10 per cent. Dylan van Baarl is making the pace.

15km to go: Carapaz is back on his bike but his face is a mask of pain and he’s struggling to even turn his pedals. His left knee looks to have taken a mighty whack and he’s already over five minutes behind the leaders. Enric Mas has abandoned and become the first man to leave this year’s race.

16km to go: I haven’t seen the crash which did for Mas and Carapaz but it looks like the former’s race is definitely over. His Movistar team are making no apparent effort to get their star rider back on his bike. That’s so unlucky for them but such are the perils of bike racing.

19km to go: Crash!!! Enric Mas (Movistar) and Richard Carapaz (EF Education) are both standing at the side of the road following a crash and neither look in particularly good shape. The main GC contenders for both their teams, their Tour looks over on day one, even if they are able to continue. Carapaz is given a spare bike and pedals away but his knee looks badly damaged; he’s going to lose a lot of time. Enric Mas is still standing at the side of the road and looks dazedc and ashen-faced. He might have a concussion.

27km to go: Neilsen Powless sprints off the front of the bunch, is first over the top and takes five King of the Mountain points.

27km to go: Jumbo Visma take over at the front of the bunch as they continue their climb, with Dylan van Baarle putting in the hard yards. They’ve a kilometre to go to the summit of Cote De Vivero. Julian Alaphilippe and Mathieu van der Poel, who will each fancy their chances of winning today’s stage, have both seen quite a few of their teammates get dropped.

Tour de France Unchained: “If you enjoyed TdF Unchained, the next step is The Least Expected Day, also available on Netflix,” writes Tim Hoult. “Its first season follows the Movistar team through a really eventful 2019 season that saw infighting, a Grand Tour win, outright dissent with team orders and frequent behind the scenes footage on the bus and in team hotels. Great fun, although I was frequently bewildered at exactly why Movistar have so many leaders in any given race!” Thanks for the recommendation and consider it on my list.

30km to go: The peloton is stung out as the riders tackle the steep gradient of the penultimate climb and plenty more riders are being dropped. Some can’t cope with the high speed and others are keeping their energy in reserve for more important battles ahead. Mikkel Bjerg (UAE) is towing the leaders along.

32km to go: Matteo Trentin brings Tadej Pogacar to the front of the bunch, where he is joined by Julian Alaphilipe, who’s spent most of the day so far loitering at the back of the bunch.

35km to go: Next up is the Cat2 Côte de Vivero, which is 4.2 kilometres in length and has an altitude of 361 metres. As they approach the climb, the bunch is travelling at 33.1km per hour.

Tour de France Unchained: “I enjoyed seeing the more candid footage, but I wasn’t keen on the way that narratives and stories had to be forced on to everything, especially when they were less than accurate,” writes Nick Honeywell. “The Mark Cavendish erasure in the very first episode rather rubbed me up the wrong way; I understand a French-made show would’ve liked to feature Alaphilippe, but to suggest that he (a non-sprinter) was challenging Jakobsen (a sprinter) for a place in the team was risible.”

40km to go: The peloton goes over the Col De Morga and are on a descent that looks punchy. When the road levels out, all the big guns will want to be in the first 20 places of the bunch in a bid to keep themselves out of trouble and in contention at the business end of the stage.

41km to go: Mark Cavendish is one of six or seven riders to have been dropped at the beginning of the climb. He won’t be breaking Eddie Merckx’s record for stage wins today but it was never on the cards given that today’s stage was never going to suit the out-and-out sprinters.

44km to go: The road widens and riders from UAE, EF Education-Easypost and Groupama-FDJ can be seen the front with the bunch two kilometres from the top of the Col De Morga.

47km to go: Riding as one, the bunch is on its way up the Cat4 Col De Morga, a mere speed-bump that’s just 307m high. The riders of Jumbo Visma, Movistar and Bora Hangrohe are all at the front of the bunch.

51km to go: The gap is into 15 seconds and the peloton can see the five breakaway riders ahead of them up the road. Pascal Eenkhorn (Lotto-Dstny), Lilian Calméjane (Intermarché), Simon Guglielmi (Arkea), Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X) and Valentin Ferron (TotalEnergies) we salute you but your moment in the spotlight is over with 50 kilometres to go and three categorised climbs to go in today’s stage.

54km to go: Having passed through it when they contested the intermediate sprint, the breakaway is on its way back though the town of Guernica, where the streets are lined with cheering crowds who seem to be having a great day. They love their cycling in that particular neck of the woods.

55km to go: The five men in the breakaway stretch the elastic again, their lead going back out to 1min 20sec.

An email: “I too enjoyed TDF: Unchained as the background of the race, the thoughts of the riders and how the teams prepare added something in addition to ‘just’ who won what and how,” writes Neil Mackie.

“It did have some Drive to Survive issues in terms of wrong stage footage, and the post-production ‘commentary’ was jarring, but I doubt most viewers will have picked up on that. Oh, and original audio with subtitles is the way to go, with some of my rudimentary French helping out.

“For other cycling news, downhill mountain biking phenom Jackson Goldstone has just won his first elite level world cup race in Val di Sole, Italy (his main competition from the Junior ranks, Jordan Williams, happened to win the first elite race of the season). The link to the TDF is that top level cyclists are getting younger and younger, like Alpecin’s Puck Pieterse winning in women’s elite cross country.”

64km to go: To be clear, he didn’t actually pedal backwards down the course in reverse, he turned around first and went the wrong way down the course.

64km to go: Alexy Lutsenko (Astana) stops to get a new wheel and his teammate Yevgeniy Fedorov stops, turns and cycles about 10 yards back down the road to wait for him and help pace him back to the bunch.

Going backwards down the course is an illegal move, and in this instance one that’s been captured by the TV cameras, as Eurosport’s Australian co-commentator Robbie McEwan points out. Yevgeniy may get a ticking-off from the race commisioners but is unlikely to face any other sanction. The gap is at 27 seconds.

Tour de France Unchained: “I watched the first five episodes and even got my daughter interested in the programme,” writes Patrick Foyle. “It had to be well done for her to be engaged in cycling. Pidcock’s descending was outrageous!”

“My favourite moment was the look of utter disbelief from Charly Wegelius in the EF Education team car watching Tom Pidcock’s descent from the Galibier,” writes Peter Craig.

69km to go: The gap is coming down again as the big GC hitters jockey for position at the front of the bunch with the race entering some difficult technical sections with more narrow roads to negotiate ahead of a descent.

An email: “They breakaway is dead in the water because the peloton has not let them get away,” writes Jeremy Boyce. “There’s been no ‘Give them six minutes now, we’ll have them later’. As I said earlier, the Jumbos and UAEs will be wanting to manage this 21 day race from start to finish. And possibly get their markers down early, as you suggested.”

73km to go: Jonas Gingaard (Uno-X) and Simon Guglielmi (Arkea) had attacked the breakaway but are about to be rejoined by their three fellow escapees. The gap is back out to 30 seconds and there are three categorised climbs remaining in the stage.

75km to go: The breakaway looks unsurpisingly dead in the water, albeit a little earlier than expected. The gap is down to 18 seconds.

77km to go: It’s been a quiet day today so far, with most of the teams keeping their powder dry ahead of what now look like inevitable fireworks at the busimness end of this stage. Should Tadej Pogacar or Jonas Vingegaard win today, there’s a small chance they could become the first rider, since the Belgian Romain Maes 1935, to wear the yellow jersey from pillar to post on the Tour.

81km to go: Uno-X rider Torstein Træen has had a crash, changed his bike, been checked by the doctor and is back on his way again, pedalling along a few hundred yards behind the peloton with a sizeable rip visible on the back of his jersey. He had to wait a while for the team car to bring him a spare bike, possibly because his teammate Jonas Gregaard is in the breakaway.

An email: “I am happy every year to contribute $25 USD to the Guardian in support of their Tour de France coverage,” writes Martin Yeager from Houston (near the Galveston Bay). “I enjoy the 21 days of both the silly and the serious live feed comments. It is pretty on TV but I enjoy the Guardian’s and its readers’ coverage.”

86km to go: Pascal Eenkhorn (Lotto-Dstny), Lilian Calméjane (Intermarché), Simon Guglielmi (Arkea), Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X) and Valentin Ferron (TotalEnergies) continue to lead but are just over a minute clear of a bunch that is keeping them on a very, very tight leash. Since escaping, they’ve only got their lead over two minutes on one occasion and even then only for a few seconds.

Intermediate sprint result

1. Pascal Eenkhorn (20 pts) 2. Simon Guglielmi (17) 3. Valentin Ferron (15) 4. Lilian Calmejane (13) 5. Jonas Gregaard (11) At 1’10’’: 6. Mads Pedersen (10) 7. Peter Sagan (9) 8. Jasper Philipsen (8) 9. Mark Cavendish (7) 10. Bryan Coquard (6) 11. Dylan Groenewegen (5) 12. Jordi Meeus (4) 13. Biniam Girmay (3) 14. Jasper Stuyven 92) 15. Alexis Renard (1)

Christian Prudhomme: A word on today’s stage from the Tour de France director. "The Basque Country doesn’t lack options when it comes to offering opportunities to the puncheurs,” he says. “With 3,300 metres of vertical gain and a double springboard where gaps can be created in the final 30 kilometres in the shape of the Vivero and Pike climbs, discussion about the identity of the first Yellow Jersey holder will focus on attackers with real pedigree, those capable of taking allying their instinct to their power.”

Intermediate sprint: Pascal Eenkhorn (Lotto-Dstny) wins the intermediate sprint in Guernica and takes 20 points.

Tour de France Unchained: In preparation for this year’s Tour, I watched the eight-part behind the scenes documentary about last year’s Tour de France that is currently available on Netflix. I found it thoroughly enjoyable; a bit like Drive To Survive but with far fewer thoroughly unpleasant people. Anyone else seen it? Meanwhile back at this year’s race, the gap is at 1min 28sec with exactly 100 kilometres of stage one remaining.

More top bays: “Can I add Barafundle Bay in Pembrokeshire to the list of great bays?” asks Alan Pedigrew. “It’s stunningly beautiful plus it’s a great word to say!”

“You’ve got to include Wineglass Bay in Tasmania,” writes Richard Kitson. “Beautiful location but the name is a winner on its own!”

An email: “I’m guessing you haven’t been to Sandwood Bay in North West Scotland?” asks Peter Craig. “If Alpecin and Jumbo Visma are controlling the break, my money would be on Van Der Poel or Van Aert rather than Alaphilippe.”

An email: Jeremy Boyce writes in response to Kurt Perleberg’s decidedly tongue-in-cheekl query about the lack of American Tour de France winners since Greg Lemond in 1990.

“Of course another American did ‘win’ the Tour, on numerous occasions, except he was doing and dealing dope and was rightly stripped of his titles,” he writes. “Why don’t they win more often? Maybe road biking just isn’t interesting enough for them. They have plenty of their own sports to watch where a match takes half a day day, but with a Grand Tour it takes 21 days to get a result and we all know how they love to have a result at the end of each match, hence their obsession with shoot-outs.

“The Tour has a daily winner, no shoot out needed, but it builds the overall suspense over 3 weeks, more like watching a whole season of Dallas than an episode of The X Files.”

A good email, Jeremy, although I’m not sure Floyd Landis will appreciate being further erased from the history books he has been erased from once already.

113km to go: With faces set in “grimace mode” the five riders in the breakaway make their way up a stiff Category Three climb, the second of the day, with two King of the Mountains points on offer at the top. Gregaard attacks but is reined in after going too early. Pascal Eenkhorn (Lotto-Dstny) is first over the top and is now in the virtual polka-dot jersey by dint of his second place finish on the first climb.

An email: “I’d be quite surprised if, as a professional cyclist, you’d be thrilled about winning an over-30’s, or heaven forbid, over-35’s competition,” writes David Hindle. “Strangely though, in the amateur, open road race world, at least here in Germany, it’s all done by age group. When you reach Masters III, or worse still IV, it’s a mixed bag. The constant reminder of how old and past it you are, mixed with the secret desire to be able to claim bragging rights for being the fastest 55-year-old in the race.”

121km to go: The riders continue to barrel along at an avergae speed of 40.2km per hour and the gap is 1min 34sec. AG2R Citreon rider Benoit Cosnefroy has dropped out of the bunch on a descent with a mechanical and has received a replacement bike.

An email: “No American has won the Tour De France since Greg Lemond in 1990,” writes Kurt Perleberg. “Why has it been so long?”

Check out the bikes ridden to every 2023 Tour de France stage win

First Published Jul 24, 2023

The Tour de France finished for another year, here are the bikes that were ridden to every stage victory…

Stage 1: Adam Yates, UAE Team Emirates, Colnago V4Rs

Britain’s Adam Yates won the first stage of this year’s Tour de France ahead of his brother Simon after breaking away from a group that contained leading GC contenders like Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard.

Yates was riding a Colnago V4Rs, a bike that was raced last year by UAE Team Emirates as a prototype before being officially launched in December.

> Colnago officially unveils V4Rs road bike with its ‘fastest monocoque frame ever’ 

Colnago says that the V4Rs is more aerodynamically efficient than its predecessor, largely thanks to work done at the front end, including better fork integration.

> Check out our review of the Colnago V4Rs 

UAE Team Emirates use Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets and wheels from Enve.

> Read our review of Shimano’s Dura-Ace R9200 Groupset 

Stage 2: Victor Lafay, Cofidis, Look 795 Blade RS

Cofidis riders have been racing on the updated Look 795 Blade RS all year although the bike was only officially released just before the start of the Tour de France.

        View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by LOOK Cycle (@lookcycle)

The 795 Blade RS is one of the new breed of bikes that’s designed to combine aerodynamics with a low weight.

> Look unveils lightened 795 Blade RS road bike and disc brake-equipped 796 Monoblade RS time trial bike 

The frameset is very different from previously. Although certain features remain, such as the integrated fork crown, the frame now uses shallower tubes and dropped seatstays.

> One bike to rule them all: why lightweight aero bikes are now THE essential race weapon  

Cofidis bikes are built up with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets – although they use cranks from Look – and wheels from Corima.

Stage 3: Jasper Philipsen, Alpecin–Deceuninck, Canyon Aeroad CFR

Belgian sprinter Jasper Philipsen, who won two Tour de France stage wins in 2022, added a third by outgunning Phil Bauhaus and Caleb Ewan in Bayonne on his Canyon Aeroad CFR.

As the name suggests, the Aeroad is the aero road bike in Canyon’s range, sitting alongside the lightweight Ultimate. We’re expecting Canyon to launch an update to the Aeroad soon.

> Check out the unreleased Canyon Aeroad Mathieu van der Poel rode to Paris-Roubaix victory

Alpecin–Deceuninck (this bike, above, belongs to one of Philipsen's teammates) is another team that uses Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets. The wheels come from Shimano too.

Stage 4: Jasper Philipsen, Alpecin-Deceuninck, Canyon Aeroad CFR

Jasper Philipsen made it two wins from two sprints when he beat Caleb Ewan and Phil Bauhaus to the line on the Nogaro motor racing circuit. Philipsen was riding the same Canyon Aeroad CFR as previously.

Pic: Alex Whitehead © SWpix.com (t-a Photography Hub Ltd)

Canyon offers the Aeroad CFR in an Alpecin-Deceuninck finish (£8,799) , although it was out of stock when we checked. Like the team bikes, it comes with a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset, but with a Rotor ALDHU24 52/36 chainset and INspider power meter, and DT Swiss wheels.

Stage 5: Jai Hindley, Bora-Hansgrohe, Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7

Racing in the Tour de France for the first time, Aussie rider Jai Hindley secured stage victory with a solo finish in the mountains.

Hindley is in his first season with Bora-Hansgrohe and, like the rest of the team, he rides an S-Works Tarmac SL7, Specialized’s road bike that’s designed to combine a light weight with aerodynamic efficiency.

> Read our review of the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7 Dura-Ace Di2 

Bora-Hansgrohe, which likes to call itself a "Band of Brothers", uses wheels from Roval and Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets.

Stage 6: Tadej Pogacar, UAE Team Emirates, Colnago V4Rs

What a difference a day makes. After dropping over a minute to Jonas Vingegaard yesterday, two-time Tour winner Tadej Pogacar clawed time back on Stage 6’s final climb.

Pic: ASO-Charly Lopez

Pogacar was riding a Colnago V4Rs, the same model that Adam Yates rode to victory on Stage 1 .

Pogacar uses a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset – including power meter – and Enve SES 4.5 wheels fitted with Continental Grand Prix 5000 tyres.

Stage 7: Jasper Philipsen, Alpecin–Deceuninck, Canyon Aeroad CFR

Pic: ASO/Pauline Ballet

We've had three sprint stages and Alpecin–Deceuninck's Jasper Philipsen has won the lot.

The hero of the day! A solo win. A maiden Tour de France win. Mythical scenes on the Puy de Dôme courtesy of Mike Woods 😍 Chapeau Woodsy! — 🇫🇷 #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/rZf2GgujFX — Israel – Premier Tech (@IsraelPremTech) July 9, 2023

You know the drill by now. Philipsen is still on a Canyon Aeroad CFR but – and this is the good bit – it’s now green to match the jersey he’s wearing as leader of the Points Classification.

Everything else, though… as you were.

Stage 8, Mads Pedersen, Lidl - Trek, Trek Madone SLR

Pic: © Zac WiLLIAMS SWpix.com (t-a Photography Hub Ltd)

Former world champion Mads Pedersen sprinted to victory on Stage 8 on a Trek Madone SLR with a new Trek Project One Icon Chroma Ultra-iridescent finish. It’s a pretty spectacular paint job that costs £3,850 – and then you need to factor in the cost of the frameset underneath.

> Tour de France pro bikes you can buy yourself — from Trek, Giant, Canyon, Merida, Bianchi, Pinarello, Colnago + Wilier 

Lidl-Trek use wheels from Trek’s in-house Bontrager brand and SRAM Red eTap AXS groupsets.

Stage 9, Michael Woods, Israel - Premier Tech, Factor Ostro VAM

Pic: © SWpix.com (t-a Photography Hub Ltd)

Michael Woods soloed to victory on the Puy de Dôme on a Factor, but not the brand new O2 VAM climbing bike that has just been launched.

> Factor launches new O2 VAM as “the world’s fastest climbing bike”  

Instead, Woods opted for the existing Ostro VAM – an aero bike that’s also lightweight.

Israel - Premier Tech uses Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets but with FSA chainsets, and wheels from Factor’s Black Inc brand.

> Read our Factor Ostro VAM frameset review 

Scores on the doors at the first rest day

With nine stages complete, here’s how things are shaping up in terms of wins. 

Bike brands Canyon 3 Colnago 2 Factor 1 Look 1 Specialized 1 Trek 1

Groupsets Shimano 8 SRAM 1

Canyon tops the bike standings courtesy of Jasper Philipsen’s three stage wins while Shimano – which supports most of the teams in the Tour de France – is utterly dominating on the groupset side of things.

Stage 10, Pello Bilbao, Bahrain Victorious, Merida Scultura

Pic: Dion Kerckhoffs-Cor Vos- SprintCyclingAgency © 2023

Right, back to it lads... Pello Bilbao got into the break and outsprinted his fellow escapees to secure his first Tour de France stage win, dedicating his victory to teammate Gino Mäder who died in a racing accident last month .

🇫🇷 #TDF2023 #Neilands attacked on the last climb of the day. @PelloBilbao1990 is in a 5-man group chasing him down. GO Pello! #RideAsOne #rideforGino 📸 @SprintCycling pic.twitter.com/5NUTeMcT5E — Team Bahrain Victorious (@BHRVictorious) July 11, 2023

Bahrain Victorious riders have the choice of the Merida Reacto aero road bike or the lighter-weight Scultura for road stages. Bilbao rode the Scultura for his stage win.

> Read our review of the Merida Scultura Team 

Bahrain Victorious is yet another team that uses Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets. The wheels are Vision, the saddles Prologo and finishing kit is from FSA.

Stage 11, Jasper Philipsen, Alpecin–Deceuninck, Canyon Aeroad CFR

        View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Alpecin-Deceuninck (@alpecindeceuninck)

Four?!? Well, we might as well take a look at the bike again.

Stage 12, Ion Izagirre, Cofidis, Look 795 Blade RS

Spanish rider Ion Izagirre soloed to victory after attacking from a strong breakaway on the final climb. Like teammate Victor Lafay, who won Stage 2 of this year’s Tour de France, Izagirre was riding the recently updated Look 795 Blade RS.

> Look unveils lightened 795 Blade RS road bike and disc brake-equipped 796 Monoblade RS time trial bike  

Pic: © Zac WiLLIAMS SWpix.com (t-a Photography Hub Ltd)

Look claims a frame weight of 905g (size small) and 425g for the fork, and says that a complete bike weight of 7kg (size medium) is possible.

Stage 13, Michal Kwiatkowski, Ineos Grenadiers, Pinarello Dogma F

Former world champion Michal Kwiatkowski bagged Ineos Grenadiers’ first win of this year’s Tour de France on the Pinarello Dogma F that the team rides for all road stages.

When we reviewed this bike recently, we called it a “perfectly balanced, superfast thoroughbred race bike” and we were hugely impressed by its all-round performance.

Check out our review of the Pinarello Dogma F 

Pic: © SWpix.com (t-a Photography Hub Ltd) 

Ineos Grenadiers uses Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets and it usually rides on Shimano wheels.

Stage 14, Carlos Rodriguez, Ineos Grenadiers, Pinarello Dogma F

Carlos Rodriguez made it back-to-back wins for Ineos Grenadiers with a downhill attack that saw him finish five seconds ahead of race favourites Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar.

Friday, Saturday… It’s a double for @INEOSGrenadiers ✌️ And what a way to win your first Grand Tour stage Mr. @_rccarlos 😎 #allin #TDFF2023 📷 @GettySport pic.twitter.com/eRluPvHRLS — Michał Kwiatkowski (@kwiato) July 15, 2023

Like Kwiatkowski yesterday, Rodriguez was riding a Pinarello Dogma F.

Stage 15, Wout Poels, Bahrain Victorious, Merida Scultura

Like Pello Bilbao on Stage 10, Wout Poels rode the Merida Scultura to victory in Morzine.

When we reviewed a Merida Scultura Team in a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 build, it hit the road.cc Scales of Truth at 7.1kg, which is very light for a bike with aero features – such as the head tube shape and the wide-bend fork blades – borrowed from its Reacto stablemate.

        View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Tour de France™ (@letourdefrance)

Poels uses a one-piece cockpit from Vision. The wheels come from Vision too.

Scores on the doors at the second rest day

With 15 stages complete, here’s how things look so far. 

Bike brands Canyon 4 Colnago 2 Pinarello 2 Look 2 Merida 2 Factor 1 Specialized 1 Trek 1

Groupsets Shimano 14 SRAM 1

Canyon still tops the bike standings thanks to all of Jasper Philipsen’s stage wins. As for the groupsets, well, the vast majority of Tour de France teams use Shimano, and bikes specced with components from the Japanese brand have crossed the line first on every day except one. 

Stage 16, Jonas Vingegaard, Jumbo-Visma, Cervelo P5

Race leader Jonas Vingegaard dominated the hilly time trial on his Cervelo P5. Unlike rival Tadej Pogacar, Vingegaard opted to stay on his TT bike throughout rather than swapping to a road bike for the final climb.

Jumbo-Visma riders have sometimes used SRAM 1x (single chainring) setups for time trials this year, but Vingegaard went for a double chainset with Reserve wheels, including an Infinity Disc at the back.

Stage 17, Felix Gall, AG2R Citroen, BMC Teammachine SLR Mpc

Felix Gall bagged AG2R’s first stage win of this year’s Tour from the breakaway, managing to stay clear of Britain’s Simon Yates. He was riding a BMC Teammachine SLR Mpc – the ‘Mpc’  being short for ‘Masterpiece’. This is the name that BMC gives to its super-high-end, super-exclusive road bikes.

Gall was using Campagnolo’s newly updated Super Record Wireless Groupset but with a previous-generation chainset fitted with a power2max power meter.

Stage 18, Kasper Asgreen, Soudal Quick-Step, Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7

Kasper Asgreen and his fellow escapees just about held off the chasing pack in Bourg-en-Bresse.

Asgreen was riding a Specialized Tarmac SL7 with Roval wheels and a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset.

Stage 19, Matej Mohoric, Bahrain Victorious, Merida Reacto

Slovenia’s Matej Mohoric outsprinted yesterday’s winner Kasper Asgreen to secure Bahrain Victorious’ third stage win. Unlike the other two, Mohoric won on Merida’s Reacto aero road bike.

Stage 20, Tadej Pogacar, UAE Team Emirates, Colnago V4Rs

Tadej Pogacar’s hopes of winning the 2023 Tour de France are gone but he took his second stage win of this year’s race on his Colnago V4Rs. The bike is the same as the one he rode to victory on Stage 6.

Stage 21, Jordi Meeus, Bora-Hanshrohe, Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7

Most people expected a Jasper Philipsen win on the Champs-Élysées, but his Belgian compatriot Jordi Meeus came away with the victory.

Like teammate Jai Hindley on Stage 5 and Kasper Asgreen on Stage 18, Meeus was riding a Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7 with Roval wheels and a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset.

The results

With the 2023 Tour de France complete, let’s look at the standings of the various brands in terms of stage wins.

Bike brands Canyon 4 Colnago 3 Merida 3 Specialized 3 Look 2 Pinarello 2 BMC 1 Cervelo 1 Factor 1 Trek 1

Groupsets Shimano 18 SRAM 2 Campagnolo 1

Canyon was the most successful bike brand in terms of stage wins, all four of its victories coming courtesy of Jasper Philipsen.

Specialized, which supplies bikes for three teams, achieved three wins, as did Colnago and Merida which sponsor one team each (UAE Team Emirates and Bahrain Victorious, respectively).

Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 was once again ridden to far more Tour de France stage wins than any other groupset – unsurprisingly, given the number of teams that use it.

St17, Felix Gall, BMC with Campag: "Gall was using Campagnolo’s newly updated Super Record Wireless Groupset" - but not on that stage. You can see a wire coming out of the rear mech so he was definitely using SR EPS on that bike. Seems like AG2R didn't have a complete fleet of WRL wireless-equipped bikes during the Tour, there were still quite a few EPS bikes being used.

2021 TOUR DE FRANCE STAGE 1 PROFILE

June 26 - 123 miles.

In a post card type scenery, going through Locronan and Quimper, stage one of the 2021 Tour de France will offer no respite. The never ending accelerations due to the frequent changes in direction, the windy parts in the Monts d’Arrée and a finish at the top of 2 mile-long hill at an average 5.7% (including parts at 14%) will crown one hell of a puncher. – Christian Prudhomme

Tour de France

These are the 5 stages that will decide the 2024 tour de france, a savage start, some crushing climbs, and yes, some gravel, will decide the pogačar-vingegaard-roglič-evenepoel battle..

What’s better than Jonas Vingegaard , Tadej Pogačar , Primož Roglič , and Remco Evenepoel squaring off at the Tour de France?

Watching the “big four” go full “royal rumble” on a course as spectacular as that on tap for 2024, that’s what.

ASO last week uncorked a “more is more” route for the 2024 Tour de France .

Tracking from Florence to Nice, it’s got more short n’spicy mountain stages and less sprint finishes than ever, the most TT kilometers since 2018, and even more climbing than the Giro d’Italia.

Oh and it’s got some gravel, too.

• Does gravel belong at the Tour? Favorites fear disaster in the dirt
• Tour route, dates, and details: Packed with firsts and plot-twists

From the stupid-hard first stage to the showstopper final TT, the 2024 Tour should be a stunner.

Here are five must-watch, GC-deciding stages for next summer’s “Lap of France”:

Stage 1: The hardest start ever?

• Florence – Rimini
• Distance: 205km
• Gain: 3,800m+

That’s right, this ridiculous seven-climb monster is the very first stage of the Tour de France.

The peloton has only 35km to spin out its nerves before its hit by a battery of lower-cat climbs in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna. Accumulating some 3,800m of gain over its arduous 205km course, this is the hilliest opening stage the Tour has ever seen.

Stage 1 of the Tour is always a twitchy affaire because the peloton pecking order hasn’t yet been established, so expect for stress from the flag drop.

Given that one of the “big four” of Pogačar, Vingegaard, Roglič, and Evenepoel might end the day in the maillot jaune , this stage into Rimini will make even the explosive Basque départ of 2023 look like a coffee ride.

Stage 9: Gravel beefs galore: ‘It’s the day when you can lose the Tour’

• Troyes – Troyes
• Distance: 199km
• Gain: 2,000m+

Here it is, the day that’s got the peloton in a beef and the mechanics on red-alert.

“It’s the day when you can lose the Tour,” Vingegaard grumbled on seeing this stage at the route presentation.

The first block of racing of the 2024 Tour ends with ASO’s-own gravel fondo. The lumpy, looped course around Troyes loads 32km of dirt roads into 14 sectors that could decimate the hopes of a GC contender.

Some of these stoney strips were used in the inaugural Tour de France Femmes and chaos ensued on the unpredictable surface.

The grade of gravel varies wildly over the course of the Tour’s diversion off-tarmac. Fist-size rocks mingle with innocuous pebbles, any of which could cause a calamity.

All-eyes are on Strade Bianche and Tour of Flanders-winner Pogačar to animate the race for yellow on this trip around Troyes.

Whether it’s “Pogi” lighting it up or someone else, expect fireworks, all day long.

Stage 14: Severe pain on the Pla d’Adet

• Pau – Saint-Lary-Soulan/Pla d’Adet
• Distance: 152km
• Gain: 4,000m+

Sure, stage 14 isn’t the hardest mountain stage you’ve ever seen, and the Pla d’Adet summit finish isn’t the most mega-monster climb on ASO’s menu.

But there’s more to this Pyrénéan punisher than meets the eye.

The notoriously nasty climb to the “Pla” comes after 80km of continuous climbing and descending in a back-loaded stage that packs the most elevation per kilometer of the whole Tour de France.

And more importantly, this stage needs to be seen in the context of the entire three weeks.

It’s the first mountaintop finish of the Tour, and the opening instalment of a Pyrénéan double that could rip apart the race for yellow. Any cracks seen here on stage 14 will be ruthlessly exposed the next day in a five-climb stage 15 slog that racks up some 5,000m vert.

Expect more than one GC hopeful to wave goodbye to yellow in the Tour’s weekend in the Pyrénées.

Stage 20: One last gallop for the climbers

• Nice – Col de la Couillole
• Distance: 133km
• Gain: 4,850m+

Stage 20: It’s short, it’s very spicy, and it’s going to make the sprinters shake in their cycling shoes.

Expect to see riders on turbo trainers all through the start paddock ahead of this four-climb gallop through the southern Alps.

None of the day’s four ascents are over-arduous, but after a day of high-altitude climbing on stage 19, only those with the strongest legs and steeliest mettle will survive this penultimate stage of racing.

It’s the type of day where former favorites could find themselves in the gruppetto and where the yellow jersey could switch shoulders.

At 133km long, this stage will last little more than three hours. But the damage might be counted in many, many minutes.

Stage 21: No procession onto the Promenade des Anglais

• Monaco – Nice
• Distance: 33km
• Gain: 700m+

The last time the Tour de France finished with a time trial was 1989, and we all know how that turned out. Greg LeMond snatched yellow from Laurent Fignon in what was the tightest Tour victory in history.

Will there be a similar showstopper finale in the 2024 race into Nice?

The Tour’s final time trial will bring a bit of everything to keep “couch peloton” on the edge of its seat until the very end.

The tricky ramped climb to La Turbie will put the favorites straight into the red before a super-fast descent toward Nice city center. If the GC remains tightly poised, both the uphill and downhill will prove crucial in this 33km test of power, poise, and perfect bike-handling.

This fiendishly tricky finale is hilly enough to prevent Evenepoel dominating with his TT talents, and technical enough to stop the climbers crushing the aero experts.

Expect a winning time of less than three-quarters of an hour and the potential for the favorites to be split by yellow jersey-deciding seconds on this final day of racing.

It couldn’t get much further from the traditional Paris procession.

Tour de France bikes 2023: who’s riding what?

All the bikes and tech on display at the 2023 Tour De France

Jean Catuffe/Getty Images

Paul Norman

The 2023 Tour de France covers 3,404km (2,115 miles) over its 21 stages. That’s 54km more than last year’s Tour.

However, the bigger news is that time trial kilometres are down from two time trials totalling 53km last year (including the Prologue) to just one at 22.4km this year. It finishes at 974m in altitude and has a 2.5km Cat 2 climb to the finish, with an average 9.4 per cent gradient.

For several years, there's been an individual time trial on the penultimate stage, but this year, it’s on the Tuesday of the final week.

Given how a time trial can upset the final result, as in the 2023 Giro d’Italia, or cement it, as in last year’s Tour, it’s a surprising move.

That means the teams’ road bikes are increasingly to the fore. As usual, there’s some very flashy tech on show and we can expect more to be announced in the run-up to the Grand Départ and probably to be unearthed by the sharp-eyed as the race proceeds.

Read on for a complete list of the bikes in this year’s Tour de France, along with the kit they’re fitted with, and our pick of some of the new bikes and tech to keep an eye out for at the 2023 Tour de France .

Tour de France 2023 bike brands

The 2023 Tour de France peloton is made up of 22 teams of eight, 176 riders in total. The 18 WorldTour squads receive an automatic invitation to compete, while four second-tier Pro Continental teams get a wildcard invitation. Between them, 19 bike brands are represented.

That’s two up on last year’s Tour, although the majority of brands are the same as in last year’s race. Even Ridley and Factor, who saw their teams demoted to the UCI’s second division, are back this year thanks to wildcard invitations for Lotto-Dstny and Israel-Premier Tech respectively.

New bike brands this year are Bianchi, Look and Dare, while out this year is De Rosa. Specialized continues to sponsor three teams, as in 2022, but Canyon is down from three to two.

Bianchi was absent last year, but is back with Arkéa-Samsic. It had its first race win back in 1899 and its bikes were ridden by Fausto Coppi, Felice Gimondi and Marco Pantani as well as a who’s who of other top-drawer racers, so it’s a prestigious return for the brand. On the other hand, De Rosa is an equally famous name from cycling’s past that has departed the Tour.

Bike brands represented at the 2023 Tour de France:

• Bianchi : Team Arkéa-Samsic
• BMC : AG2R Citroën Team
• Cannondale : EF Education-EasyPost
• Canyon : Alpecin-Deceuninck, Movistar Team
• Cervélo : Jumbo-Visma
• Colnago : UAE Team Emirates
• Cube : Intermarché-Circus-Wanty
• Dare : Uno-X Pro Cycling

• Giant : Team Jayco-AlUla
• Lapierre : Groupama-FDJ

• Ridley : Lotto-Dstny
• Scott : Team DSM-Firmenich
• Specialized : Bora-Hansgrohe, Soudal-QuickStep, TotalEnergies
• Trek : Lidl-Trek
• Wilier Triestina : Astana-Qazaqstan

Read on for more details of each team’s bikes, wheels and other kit.

What’s new in Tour de France tech?

New bike launches.

Since last year’s Tour, the Colnago Prototipo ridden to second place by Tadej Pogačar has finally become the Colnago V4Rs and been released for us to review – and anyone with deep enough pockets to buy.

Rather like the Colnago, the new Look 795 Blade RS ridden by Team Cofidis has been in plain sight for months, but was only officially launched earlier in June.

Its profile is similar to many other pro bikes with front-end integration, aero tubes and dropped seatstays, but is a departure from Look’s previous pro-level race bikes.

As per the usual playbook, Look says the new bike is stiffer and more aero.

There are more subtle changes to the Canyon Aeroad . Canyon has yet to announce details, but there are slight changes to the tube profiles and the seatpost clamp has moved from the rear of the seat tube to the top of the top tube.

The changes to the Cannondale SuperSix EVO are equally small but significant, with the fourth generation of the bike lighter and more aero – and in LAB71 format significantly more expensive.

Other new bikes bubbling under include an update to the Factor O2 VAM , BMC's new aero road bike and a new Ridley bike , also aero.

One thing all these bikes have in common is there's not a cable or brake hose in sight. In part, that's down to all the groupsets ridden now having wireless connections between the shifters and the derailleurs.

It's also due to the brake hoses running exclusively internally. Since they're invariably hydraulic, there's no loss of braking efficiency, however sharp the bends and no matter how convoluted the routing becomes.

Tubeless wheels and tyres have mostly taken over

Almost all teams are now running tubeless tyres in place of the pros’ favourite tubulars. There are good reasons for this beyond the lack of potentially carcinogenic and addictive solvents in the tub cement (more of an issue for the team mechanics than the riders).

Matej Mohorič of Bahrain Victorious has claimed tubeless tech can lower rolling resistance by up to 15 watts per tyre. Paired with the latest aero wheel designs, that’s a huge margin.

You’re also less likely to need a wheel swap at a crucial point in the race, with sealant helping to cope with punctures, although unlike tubs you can’t ride a flat tyre to the finish or while waiting for the team car to give you a wheel swap.

28mm tyres are also increasingly taking over from 25mm, even on the smooth tarmac generally enjoyed on the Tour. Riders often sub in time trial tyres for road tyres, due to their lighter weight, although they in general offer less puncture protection than the best road bike tyres .

One team that has remained on tubs is Astana-Qazaqstan, although it’s in the process of swapping from Corima wheels that don’t offer a tubeless rim, to HED which does.

Component choices

As in previous years, Shimano dominates the teams’ drivetrain choices, with just three teams on SRAM (Jumbo-Visma, Movistar, Lidl-Trek) and one (AG2R-Citroën) on Campagnolo – one down on 2022 with the defection of UAE Team Emirates to Shimano at the beginning of 2023.

There's more on Campagnolo Super Record below, but an unlaunched update to SRAM Red AXS has been spotted. With SRAM focusing on the launch of its updated Force AXS groupset earlier in 2023, it seems likely that a new version of Red AXS will be announced sooner rather than later.

We've seen an increasing acceptance of single chainrings in races earlier in the season, such as Paris-Roubaix , and that may extend to flatter stages in the Tour, when the small chainring is little used.

Expect 2x setups to take over in the mountains again though, yet even there Primož Roglič showed that a single ring with a wide-range cassette was a winning option.

There’s more variation in wheels than drivetrains, with the aforementioned Corima and HED, as well as Reserve, Vision, DT Swiss, Roval, Newmen, Black Inc, ENVE, Bontrager, Zipp and Cadex all represented.

Campagnolo goes wireless

Campagnolo is providing its Super Record groupset to just one team this year, AG2R Citroën. However, it has dispensed with wires, with the recent launch of the new Super Record Wireless groupset.

As with SRAM Red AXS , the consumer version of Super Record Wireless uses smaller chainrings paired to cassettes starting with a 10-tooth sprocket and rising to just 29 teeth as the largest sprocket option. However, the pros are likely to stick to closer ratios for all but the toughest stages.

There are a couple of interesting things to watch out for here: first, are all the riders using the latest Wireless groupset?

When Shimano Dura-Ace went 12-speed last year, there were still teams using the older 11-speed Dura-Ace long after the official launch, due in large part to the new groupset’s scarcity.

Will Campagnolo have got its manufacturing and distribution ducks in a row better than Shimano?

Second, with SRAM Red AXS, there are a series of chainring options designed specifically for the pros, which are larger than the chainrings on the complete cranksets available for consumer purchase.

That’s partly because pros like to push larger gears at their elevated riding speeds (winner Jonas Vingegaard averaged over 42kph throughout the entire Tour last year).

It’s also because the chainline and the degree of curvature of the chain as it passes over the jockey wheels and cassette make small, but significant, differences in drivetrain friction. Therefore, riding in a larger sprocket nearer the middle of the cassette is an easy marginal gain. It’s also the reason why OSPW systems are used by the pros.

Will we see AG2R Citroën riders using larger chainrings, perhaps borrowed from the previous generation of Super Record, with Campagnolo Super Record Wireless at the Tour?

Tour de France 2023 bikes

All 18 WorldTour teams ride the Tour de France and every one of them gets the pick of the best bikes from their sponsors’ ranges. That includes all teams using 12-speed wireless/semi-wireless electronic groupsets on their road bikes and a choice of top-spec carbon wheels.

The invited Pro Continental teams (Israel-Premier Tech, Lotto-Dstny, TotalEnergies, Uno X) too are on top-spec bikes and equipment – there’s no second best here.

• As it happened: GC riders battle out stage 8 in summit finish sprint

'We had to come up with something clever' – Why the 2024 Tour de France has a gravel stage

14 gravel sectors in the champagne vineyards make stage 9 to Troyes one of the highlights of next year's race

The route of the 2024 Tour de France was unveiled earlier this week, showcasing a familiar blend of mountains, sprint stages, hills, and time trials. Less familiar for the July Grand Tour is 14 sectors of gravel roads on stage 9 in Troyes. 

Along with 2,000 metres of elevation, 32.2km of gravel roads are packed into the 199km stage, with the gravel and the hills of the champagne region of France bringing to mind the difficulties of Strade Bianche.

The inclusion of gravel in the Tour de France route has caused some controversy, with several team managers including Jumbo-Visma's Richard Plugge and Soudal-QuickStep's Patrick Lefevere reacting negatively .

However, Tour de France route designer Thierry Gouvenou has said that it was necessary to include a stage like this in order to break up what would otherwise be a long run of flat stages in the first half of an atypical Tour route.

Tour de France 2024 gravel stage 'increases chance of bad luck' says Plugge Tour de France 2024 route Tadej Pogacar intrigued by atypical 2024 Tour de France finish Mark Cavendish: 'It might be the hardest Tour de France route I've ever seen'

"We made a promise never to have more than one sprint stage in a row on the Tour," Gouvenou told L'Equipe   during a visit to see the dirt roads after the 2024 Tour de France presentation.   

"With the configuration of the 2024 route, we will find ourselves on the plains from the exit of the Alps on stage 4 to Cantal on stage 11. So, we had to come up with something clever."

The 14 gravel sectors begin after 47km, with eight of them in the hilly vineyards. Six sectors are packed into the final 30km but on flat roads.  However the tarmac roads in between the gravel sectors pose their own challenges, with L'Equipe confirming that those roads are narrow and are not always in the best condition.

All in all, the stage – with the hills, twisting roads, and tough gravel sectors – has the potential to majorly shake up the race and the GC standings.

"If some of the big teams decide to go all out for their leaders then there'll be a lot of tension at the back and the elastic will snap, that's for sure," predicted Gouvenou.

"There will be a lot of tension and we can expect a race of elimination. With the changes in direction, the gradients, the surface, and maybe the wind, not everyone will be able to keep up the pace."

The gravel roads in the champagne area were featured at the 2022 Tour de France Femmes with 12.9km of gravel on stage 4 causing chaos and carnage. 

Gravel roads were almost included in the men's race back in 2019, though the idea was abandoned for safety reasons, Gouvenou said.

"The descents were too steep and dangerous and we ended up abandoning this idea for safety reasons," he said of stage 3 of that year's race, which was won by Julian Alaphilippe .

Gouvenou and his team have nevertheless figured out a way to include the gravel sectors in next year's route, with the race crisscrossing the vineyards southeast of Troyes.

The roads in the area are maintained by local winegrowers and farmers. A set of special rules will be put in place to protect the gravel roads when the race passes through next year, said Tour deputy director Yves Thouault.

"There will be no advertising caravan, no parking, and strict rules – only the race convoy will pass through on 'D-Day'," he said.

Tour director Christian Prudhomme said that he hopes that the gravel roads of Troyes will become an iconic part of the race which draw fans and cyclists to the region.

"I'd like it that if, in the years to come, when people come to this region, they could regularly use these roads," he said. "I'd like the general public and cycling enthusiasts to think, 'Ah, Troyes? White roads!'

"It's going to be a bit like the return of the cobbles in 2010. We'd gone twenty years without cobbles, apart from two sectors in 2004. I hope that in this kind of stage Tadej Pogačar and Remco Evenepoel will be able to make a mess of things."
