As we reach the end of another week, it’s time for First Look Friday, our weekly round-up of the latest and greatest swag to arrive at BikeRadar towers. Before we get into that, though, let’s recap some of the week’s biggest stories and reviews. It’s been an action-packed week on BikeRadar, with the Tour de France understandably dominating many of the headlines. This week, we’ve taken a close...

Extracting the best performance out of tyres has always been something of a dark art within pro cycling. In years gone by, team mechanics would reportedly age the team’s tubular tyres in cellars, but at least (almost) everyone used the same tech. These days, mechanics at the Tour de France have to manage the varying choices (and restraints) of individual riders, team performance directors and...

The men’s Tour de France has come to an end once more, with the riders rolling onto the Champs-Élysées under the warm Parisian sun. But as the dust settled on Jonas Vingegaard’s victory, we began thinking about the centenary edition, which, just a decade ago, was won by Chris Froome. Many things might look the same, but the Tour-winning bike has changed significantly from 2013 to 2023. From...

My role exposes me to lots of shiny new tech, but I’ve made a conscious effort to be less acquisitive this year. Being honest, I have pretty much all the kit I could ever need for my riding, and I’m struggling to stuff any more into my pokey wee hoose. As such, I’m bringing you a tighter selection of the kit that has impressed me most in the past 12-months – they’re all products I’ve used for...

The 2023 Tour de France covers 956km (594 miles) over its eight stages, which start on 23 July, the day the men’s Tour de France finishes. The penultimate stage finishes atop the Col du Tourmalet. All eyes will be on Annemiek van Vleuten of Movistar to see if she can achieve her aim of completing the Vuelta-Giro-Tour treble in 2023, prior to her retirement later this year. Read on for a...

While the Tour de France yellow jersey is one of sport’s most fabled prizes, there is more than just prestige up for grabs at the 110th edition of the race in 2023. Alongside the yellow, green, polka dot and white jerseys, the Tour de France had a €2,282,000 prize pot to give out in 2022. This included a €500,000 overall prize for champion Jonas Vingegaard (Team Jumbo-Visma). The Dane received...

Colnago has launched the V4Rs, the final rendition of the Colnago Prototipo ridden by Tadej Pogačar through the 2022 season and, unsurprisingly, an evolution of the V3Rs. The Colnago V3Rs, launched in 2019, is a proven race-winner, being the bike of choice for the UAE Team Emirates of Pogačar, who won the 2021 Tour de France aboard the bike. Colnago says it set out to improve the V3Rs on all...

Launched in December 2022, Colnago’s new V4Rs has arrived at BikeRadar HQ for testing. An update to the V3Rs, the V4Rs was ridden by Tadej Pogačar through the 2022 season under the Prototipo moniker. Like its predecessor, the V4Rs is designed to balance aerodynamics, stiffness, weight, comfort and strength. Will the aero all-round race bike lead Pogačar to Tour-winning victory this time around?...

Once again, we have reached the end of the working week, which means it’s time for First Look Friday. The sunny weather of the past month has given way to a more familiar drizzle in the UK, and while optimists will say the trails needed some moisture, I for one am missing the consistent sunshine and a clean bike. On the site, it has been another busy week following on from Eurobike, where over...

A taste for weissbier and schnitzel, a penchant for fluorescent lighting, miles of travelators… there are many reasons why one would choose to attend Eurobike but, for BikeRadar, it’s the mountain of weird and wonderful tech that draws us back every year.

The Tour de France is the most important race of the year, so teams and riders use the best and latest equipment. Given that, you might think the answer to the question “How much does a Tour de France bike weigh?” would be a simple one – “Bang on the UCI minimum bike weight of 6.8kg.” The halcyon days of sub-5kg off-the-shelf road bikes are long gone, however. While many lay blame at the feet...

To a first-time viewer, the Tour de France can be a minefield. The winner is not simply decided by which rider crosses the finish line first in Paris.

Here’s our full guide to how the Tour de France is won: the classifications, the jerseys and the...

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...

When the reigning yellow jersey and the best all-round bike rider in the world start the Tour de France with a 1x drivetrain on the hilly parcours of the Grand Départ, the whole sport takes note. It had been coming. Wout van Aert rode to a Milan-San Remo podium using a single-chainring drivetrain in March, 1x was prevalent at Paris-Roubaix in April, and then Jonas Vingegaard won a mountainous...

There is some tech hegemony among those teams, with Canyon and Liv especially well-represented, sponsoring three squads apiece. Only Specialized...

From featherweight mountain goats to power-packed sprinters, there is no catch-all shape and size for professional cyclists. But particularly tall pro Grand Tour cyclists are the rarity – hauling your body over the mountains generally favours lighter riders.

If you were paying attention to our tech coverage of this year’s Tour de France, you may have noticed more riders than ever are adopting extreme cockpit setups.
