Tour de France 1983

1983 tour de france bike

Last time , our story left off with the ASO being seduced by the concept of a Tour de France that occurs just once every four years, like the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and UEFA European Championships. So. Did the 1983 Tour de France happen at all?

Well. Yes. Like the ASO’s half-baked plans to make the 1982 Tour a race contested by national teams, the organizers were quickly reined in by the realization that it would be an expensive experiment. Turns out that you can’t make money from TV and sponsors if you don’t run the race.

And so the 1983 Tour de France proceeded as expected. Bernard Hinault was at the start line ready to win a record-equaling fifth Tour de France, and—wait, the Badger was NOT at the start line. Huh. Then everything was to play for!

Le Tour 1983

Let’s be clear: Hinault wanted this Tour. He started the year strong as ever, winning the Fleche Wallonne and then securing his second Vuelta title. The Vuelta was one of the more exciting races an otherwise dominant Hinault had participated in thus far, and the back and forth battle between Hinault and his Spanish rivals remains one of the most spectacular editions of the race. During the race, his tendonitis returned and despite his best efforts to recover, Hinault found himself having to sit out the Tour de France.

Hinault’s directeur sportif, Cyrille Guimard, was left without a leader for the race. Laurent Fignon had impressed as Hinault’s domestique at the Vuelta and, despite concern at the rider’s young age, Guimard reluctantly agreed to take Fignon to the Tour.

The main contenders looked to be Lucien Van Impe , Joop Zoetemelk , Phil Anderson , and, perhaps, Peter Winnen .

1983 tour de france bike

The race started with a prologue in the eastern suburbs of Paris, then traveled north to Roubaix and proceeded anti-clockwise around the country. As with other Tours of its era, it was heavy on the time-trials, with six in total, including one prologue, one team time-trial of 100km, and one mountain time-trial to the Puy de Dome. There was also a summit finish at the Alpe d’Huez and mountainous stages into Bagneres-de-Luchon and Morzine.

Prologue to Stage Eight (1-9 July 1983)

In the absence of serious rivals for Hinault, we’d seen several young riders make their mark on the Tour so far in the 1980s. With Hinault now absent, questions arose as to whether the youth would take the opportunity to make the next step up, or whether the winner would be an elder statesman as in 1980, when Hinault withdrew due to injury. It was 37 year old Lucien Van Impe, who won the 1976 Tour and had finished second in 1981, and 36 year old Joop Zoetemelk, who won the 1980 Tour and finished second in 1982, who looked like the most likely candidates to take Hinault’s place.

The Prologue told a different story. All three Tour prologues in the 1980s had seen the same 1-2, and for the first time we saw a new rider take a victory. It was 21 year old Eric Vanderaerden who set the fastest time on the 5.5km route around Fontenay-sous-Bois, taking the yellow jersey ahead of track racer Bert Oosterbosch and prologue specialist Jean-Luc Vandenbroucke (yes, there’s a relation: he was Frank’s uncle).

Stage One was a flat stage, won in a sprint by Frits Pirard from the Metauromobili-Pinarello. Another new name for the Tour, and the stage turned out to be Pirard’s only major victory. Maybe this Tour was one of new opportunities, rather than of second chances. In other areas, it was business as usual: Sean Kelly was already staking a claim to the green jersey with intermediate sprints, and moved up to second place overall.

The 100km team time-trial on Stage Two was a return to normality, with the TI-Ral—wait, even they didn’t win? It was the Coop-Mercier-Mavic that took the victory, ahead of Peugeot-Shell-Michelin and J. Aernoudt-Hoonved-Marc Zeep. Coop-Mercier-Mavic riders made up the entire top ten, with Jean-Louis Gauthier taking over the race lead. His teammate Joop Zoetemelk occupied second place.

A messy Stage Three into Roubaix followed, with Rudy Matthijs winning the stage ahead of Coop-Mercier-Mavic’s Kim Andersen, Pascal Poisson and Sean Kelly making up third and fourth 2’09” later, and then a bunch led by prologue winner Eric Vanderaerden 3’40” down. Andersen, only 24, became the first Dane to wear the yellow jersey.

Stage Four from Roubaix to Le Havre saw yet another new name make an impact at the 1983 Tour. Serge Demierre won ahead of Sean Kelly to take his first and only Tour stage win in an otherwise relatively unremarkable career.

Another stage, another new winner. Dominique Gaigne had form: he’d won the Vuelta’s prologue earlier in the season, so his victory on Stage Five was not entirely out of the blue. Still, in retrospect it’s obvious that this Tour was going to be a change of pace when a lad who’d soon retire to become a builder started winning stages.

A 58km individual time-trial took place on Stage Six . Bert Oosterbosch took the win. Behind him, the ‘changing of the guard’ narrative was getting a bit heavy handed: Phil Anderson overhauled the excellent time-trialist Joop Zoetemelk to leapfrog him in the overall standings. Andersen and Anderson now occupied first and second place, with Sean Kelly in third. Surely Anderson wasn’t about to deliver Australia’s first Tour win?

1983 tour de france bike

Riccardo Magrini had won a Giro d’Italia stage in 1983 and added a Tour stage on Stage Seven . This was to be the final of his three professional victories… but if you’re only going to win three races, two of them might as well be Giro and Tour stages. If you recognized the name, it’s because he’s now a commentator for Eurosport.

Stage Eight saw Bert Oosterbosch take his second stage of the race, and the third of his career. Cycling didn’t see a Bert this good until Contador strolled up in his compression socks.

State of Play: Kim Andersen led the race by 25 seconds over Sean Kelly, and 34 seconds over Phil Anderson. 1980 winner Joop Zoetemelk hovered in fourth place. Sean Kelly wore the green jersey, and Gilbert Duclos-Lassalle led the mountains classification. Eric Vanderaerden led the young rider classification.

Stages Nine to 17 (10-18 July, 1983)

Kim Andersen had led the race for six days, but he couldn’t make it seven. In what’s rapidly becoming a pattern, Philippe Chevallier took his first and only grand tour stage victory on Stage Nine . Behind him, Sean Kelly swept up the bunch sprint to consolidate his lead in the green jersey, but this third place came with an unexpected benefit: Kelly took over the yellow jersey by one second. Andersen and Anderson moved into second and third places respectively.

Finally, the mountains arrived on Stage Ten . Finishing in Bagneres-de-Luchon, the 200km stage shredded the peloton and destroyed the general classification. It was Philippa York, competing as Robert Millar, who crossed the line first, taking the first of her three Tour de France stage victories. York had impressed in the Dauphine to earn her place at the Tour, and had now made the first monumental step in what was to be a legendary career. Six seconds behind her, another future legend of the sport, Pedro Delgado, took second place. Pascal Simon rounded out the top three, and took the yellow jersey from Sean Kelly. Another young talent, Laurent Fignon, finished seventh on the stage, and moved all the way up to second overall, albeit 4’22” behind Simon.

A flat-ish Stage 11 followed, won by Regis Clere from a fragmented breakaway. It was largely uneventful for the general classification contenders, apart from Pedro Delgado, who made up more than a minute and a half on his rivals and moved into seventh place. Oh, and apart from race leader Pascal Simon, who crashed and broke his shoulder blade. Somehow this didn’t affect his lead, and he proceded on with his race.

Pascal Simon had a huge lead in the general classification, with a cast of youngsters plus Jean-René Bernaudeau and Joop Zoetemelk rounding out the top ten. So of course, it was time to reintroduce a different name. Kim Andersen won Stage 12 , re-taking the yellow jersey– no, just kidding. But he did win the stage, and while it was inconsequential to his own general classification dreams, Pedro Delgado took a second place that moved him up to fifth overall. He’d gained two and a half minutes on Pascal Simon in two stages, and suddenly looked a threat.

Henk Lubberding won the transitional Stage 13 , the third individual Tour de France stage victory of a career that had already seen him win the white jersey in 1978 and seven team time trials. His breakaway companions trickled across the line seven and a half minutes ahead of the peloton, to no real consequence.

Another hilly transition followed with Stage 14 , won by Pierre Le Bigaut. Somewhat predictably for the 1983 Tour, this was his first and only Tour stage victory. The top ten remained the same, bar a couple of seconds gained by Phil Anderson to move him from ninth to tenth. The overall race was looking stagnant.

Stage 15 offered an opportunity to break the top ten deadlock. Running the tough 15.6 km from Clermont-Ferrand to Puy de Dôme, the mountain time-trial climbed to the 1,465m volcanic summit. Angel Arroyo was the surprise winner, coming home 13 seconds ahead of Pedro Delgado and 29 seconds ahead of Colombian José Patrocinio Jiménez. Behind, Sean Kelly finished an unexpected seventh, and Laurent Fignon tenth.

Pascal Simon continued to lead the race, but now by just 52 seconds over Fignon. A week or so after wearing the yellow jersey, Sean Kelly sat in third place, 1’29” down. The yellow jersey remained in his reach. Delgado was fourth, Arroyo fifth, and talented climber Peter Winnen in tenth.

Another transition followed on Stage 16 . Stage race veteran Michel Laurent took the win, albeit after the race jury decided to relegate Henk Lubberding to second place following a dangerous maneuver that caused Laurent to crash into the race barriers during the sprint. Lubberding nevertheless moved up to seventh overall. Fignon and Kelly closed the gap on Simon to 40″ and 1’21” respectively.

And so to the big one. The Alpe d’Huez. Stage 17 was a 223.5km route starting in La Tour-du-Pin and finishing atop the legendary Alpe d’Huez.

We’ve included the video. Everything happens in the first 25 minutes or so. But the short story is that Peter Winnen, winner here in 1981, escaped with Jean-René Bernaudeau on the ascent. They lasted all the way to the finish line, where they sprinted for the stage win. Peter Winnen was victorious, meaning Dutch riders had won six of the Tour’s nine ascents of the Alpe.

Pascal Simon’s tenuous grip on his race lead was expected to slip here, and it did, but not in the way the fans anticipated. His broken shoulder blade proved too much, and he withdrew from the race. Fignon crossed the line in fifth place, the best of the rest, 2’07” behind Winnen and Bernaudeau. He’d earned the yellow jersey, rather than merely inheriting it. Delgado moved into second place, Bernaudeau into third, and Winnen into fourth.

1983 tour de france bike

State of Play: The Alpe d’Huez had shaken up the race, and Laurent Fignon and Lucien Van Impe were the clear winners: they’d claimed control of the yellow and polka dot jerseys respectively, and now had just five days left to consolidate their late leads. Meanwhile, a rampant Sean Kelly was cruising in the green jersey competition, which looked securely on his shoulders, and was also sitting in fifth overall. In the general classification, Fignon led Pedro Delgado by 1’08” and Jean-René Bernaudeau by 2’33”. The race was far from over.

Rest Day (19 July 1983)

There was just one rest day in the 1983 Tour de France. But we’re still including two songs. Crack open a Kronenbourg because you’re going to be here for eight more minutes.

Five Stages to Fignon’s First (20-24 July, 1983)

If Fignon could endure five days of attacks, he’d win the Tour aged just 22. It was a baptism of fire for the young race leader though: Stage 18 was a tough 247km through the mountains from Bourg-d’Oisans to Morzine. Not only did he weather the storm, he actually extended his lead over Bernaudeau. Unfortunately, the peloton was packed with talent and difficult to control. Angel Arroyo put 3’31” into Fignon, moving up to fifth place, while Robert Alban climbed from seventh to fourth. Fignon had held off his closest rivals, but opened the door to others. Only Delgado lost his grip on the race, entirely dropping out of the top ten. Jacques Michaud won the stage… his first and only Tour de France stage victory of his career.

Love mountain time-trials? We do too. And so did the ASO in 1983. Stage 19 was the race’s second mountain time-trial, this time from Morzine to Avoriaz for a 15km that would unsettle the general classification once more. Fignon, this time, could only manage tenth place, losing time to Winnen, Arroyo, and stage winner Lucien Van Impe. A young Stephen Roche took second place on the day.

Finally, some respite for Fignon arrived on Stage 20 . Philippe Leleu got his, you guessed it, first and only career Tour stage win with an astounding solo victory almost ten minutes ahead of the peloton. Fignon marginally extended his race lead. There was just one more stage left, and Fignon had almost three minutes over Peter Winnen in second place. Unless he rode a terrible final time-trial, he’d win the Tour. But Fignon would never ride a terrible final time-trial, right?

1983 tour de france bike

Right. Well, right in 1983. A second time-trial in two days, at the end of a brutal Tour, as a 22 year old who never expected to ride, suddenly dealing with the pressure of leading the race? That was nothing for Fignon. He won by 35 seconds ahead of Arroyo, and 37 ahead of Peter Winnen. Arroyo leapfrogged Winnen and Van Impe to move up to second place.

And so to the Champs Elysees. Gilbert Glaus won with, all together now, his first and only career Tour stage victory. Fignon crossed the finish line and became the youngest Tour winner since 1933. Had his team leader, Bernard Hinault, been present, he would’ve not only missed out on the opportunity to win, but wouldn’t have ridden the race at all.

Maybe there wasn’t going to be room for Hinault and Fignon on the same team…

The 1983 Paris-Roubaix was 274 km long and raced at an average speed of 40.308 km/hr.

There were 193 starters and 32 classified finishers.

Francesco Moser, who had already won Paris-Roubaix three times, dropped the hammer on the Trouée d'Arenberg cobbles. That huge effort reduced the lead group to just five riders.

Hennie Kuiper, who had already suffered two crashes, nevertheless managed to stay with the leaders. Kuiper knew he could not beat the others in a sprint, especially Francesco Moser. So Kuiper did what he did best, he took off on a solo break. Initially, no one chased and with sixteen kilometers to go he had a lead of a minute and a half.

Kuiper wasn't done having bad luck. While on his break (with some of the world's best riders chasing), he flatted. He was given a new bike and held off his chasers to win Paris-Roubaix on his eleventh attempt.

Throughout 110 editions (up to 2023), the Tour de France has been won by 36 different bike brands . Many of these brands are unknown to cycling fans today. Few bike brands, such as Colnago, Pinarello , Specialized , and Trek , are synonymous with cycling fans today.

The road bike industry has undergone massive change and innovation in the past 20 years by introducing new technologies such as electronic shifting , carbon fiber frames, disc brakes, and tubeless tires .

This article will go back in history and explore all the Tour de France winning bikes .

Pinarello has a long history in cycling, dating back to 19534, when it was founded by Giovanni Pinarello in Treviso, Italy. With 15 Tour de France wins, Pinarello is the most successful bike brand at the Tour de France.

Pinarello’s dominance at the Tour de France can be summed up in two eras.

  • Mid-1990s. Miguel Indurain won four consecutive Tour de France from 1992 to 1995, followed by Bjarne Riis (1996) and Jan Ullrich (1997).
  • Mid-2010s. Team Sky (Ineos-Grenadiers) won seven Tour de France with Bradley Wiggins (2012), Chris Froome (2013, 2015, 2016, 2017), Geraint Thomas (2018), and Egan Bernal (2019).

Today, Pinarello’s top-of-the-line bike is the Pinarello Dogma F .

L’Auto (now L’Equipe) is not a bike brand but the French newspaper that started the Tour de France in 1903.

From 1930 to 1939, Henri Desgrange, the newspaper’s owner, required all riders to paint their bikes’ downtube with L’Auto as part of the marketing campaign and publicity stunt to increase the race profile.

During that period, riders competed based on national teams, so there wasn’t any commercial conflict of interest.

Today, most of us know Peugeot as the French automotive brand. Peugeot started making bicycles way back in 1882 and won their first Tour de France with Louis Trousselier in 1905 and their last win came in 1977 with Bernard Thévenet.

In the past 50 years, the bicycle arm of Peugeot has gone through various ownership. Today it’s part of Cycleuope, which owns bike brands such as Bianchi and Gitane.

Here’s an interesting fact; Peugeot has a complete bike lineup from road to mountain, city, kids, and electric bikes.

Gitane is a French bike brand synonymous with racing from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. All nine of Gitane’s Tour de France wins occurred during this period with legendary French riders such as Bernard Hinault (4), Jacques Anquetil (2), Laurent Fignon (2), and Belgian Lucien Van Impe (1).

Today, Gitane is part of Cycleuope, which owns the Bianchi and Peugeot bike brands. Gitane produces mostly city and mountain bikes today. They don’t have much presence outside of France.

1983 tour de france bike

Founded in 1976, Trek is one of the leading bike brands today with its men’s and women’s World Tour teams.

Trek’s first Tour de France win was in 1999 by Lance Armstrong. For the next seven years until 2005, Lance Armstrong dominated the Tour de France, helping to raise Trek’s profile in the United States and worldwide. In 2012, all seven of Lance’s Tour de France wins were nulled.

Trek’s other three Tour de France wins were with Alberto Contador in 2007, 2009, and 2010 although the 2010 win was later nulled.

Trek offers the riders three types of road bikes; Trek Emonda (lightweight), Trek Madone (aero) and Trek Domane (endurance), and the Trek Speed Concept (TT).

1983 tour de france bike

Alcyon was a French bicycle, motorcycle, and automotive brand active from 1903 to 1954. They sponsored their own cycling team from 1905 to 1959 under different names such as Alcyon-Dunlop, Alcyon-Soly, Alcyon-Armor, and Alcyon-Leroux

Their first Tour de France win was in 1909 with François Faber, a Luxembourgian rider. Their last win was in 1929 with Belgian Maurice De Waele. From 1930 onwards, the Tour de France organizers required the teams to paint their bikes’ downtube with L’Auto, the newspaper that started the Tour de France.

Eddy Merckx is no stranger to cycling fans. He’s widely known as the most successful cyclist of all time , winning the Tour de France (5 times), Giro d’ Italia (5 times), and 34 Tour de France stages .

The Eddy Merckx bike brand was only started in 1980 after he retired. Eddy Merckx was riding bikes built by Masi and Kessels with his name painted on the downtube for his five Tour de France wins.

In 2008, Eddy Merckx sold all his shares in the company to Sobradis, a Belgian holding company. In 2017, another Belgian company, Race Productions, which owns Ridley Bikes, took over Eddy Merckx after struggling with sales for the past decade.

Automoto was a French bicycle and motorcycle manufacturer that started in 1902. It was the dominant bike brand in the mid-1920s, with four consecutive Tour de France wins from 1923 to 1923 with three different riders.

In 1930, it was bought by Peugeot and sadly discontinued in 1962.

1983 tour de france bike

Bianchi is the oldest bicycle manufacturing company today. It was founded in Italy back in 1885 by Edoardo Bianchi who was a 21-year-old medical instrument maker.

All of Bianchi’s three Tour de France wins were achieved by Italian riders. Fausto Coppi won in 1949 and 1952 and Marco Pantini won in 1998. Bianchi was present at the World Tour with Team Jumbo-Visma (2014 to 2020) and Team BikeExchange (2021.

Team Arkea-Samsic will ride the Bianchi Oltre (aero) and Bianchi Specialissima (lightweight) at the 2023 Tour de France.

Today, Bianchi bikes are known for their Celeste color, also known as Bianchi Green.

1983 tour de france bike

Colnago has a long history, dating back to 1952. It was founded by Ernesto Colnago near Milan, Italy. In May 2020, Chimera Investments LLC, based in the UAE, acquired a majority stake in Colnago.

Colnago’s first Tour de France win was in 1960 by Italian rider, Gastone Nencini. It was a long 60-year wait for their second win until Tadej Pogačar won two consecutive Tour de France in 2020 and 2021. He also won the Best Young Rider and Climber Classification in these two years riding the Colnago V3Rs .

In 2023, Tadej Pogačar will be riding the Colnago V4Rs in an attempt to win his third Tour de France General Classification .

Helyett is a little-known French bicycle manufacturer started by the Picard brothers in 1926. It took its name from a lead character from a late 19th-century play, Miss Helyett, which is why the Helyett logo has a young women’s face on it.

Frenchman, Jacques Anquetil won three of his five Tour de France onboard a Helyett bike in 1957, 1961, and 1962.

La Sportive’s three Tour de France wins occurred right after World War 1, from 1919 to 1921. Right after the war, Europe was in bad shape and many bicycle manufacturers were either out of business or didn’t have the manufacturing capabilities.

The remaining brands include Alcyon, Armor, Automoto, Clément, La Française, Gladiator, Griffon, Hurtu, Labor, Liberator, Peugeot, and Thomann came together. They provided more than half the peloton with various bicycles and components so that the Tour de France can take place.

Once each brand recovered from the aftermath of World War 1, La Sportive disbanded in 1922.

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 Oltre RC

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
  • Factor : Israel-Premier Tech
  • Giant : Team Jayco-AlUla
  • Lapierre : Groupama-FDJ
  • Look : Cofidis
  • Merida : Bahrain Victorious
  • Pinarello : Ineos Grenadiers
  • 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.

Colnago V4Rs Dura-Ace Di2

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.

Look Blade 795 RS.

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.

EF Education Easypost's Cannondale SuperSix Evo Lab71 at Paris-Roubaix 2023

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 .

WilierCVNDSH-0031_1024x768

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

Super Record 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?

Wout van Aert's Cervelo Soloist at Paris-Roubaix 2023

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.
