The Hottest Bikes At The Tour De France 2026

We’re live in Barcelona for the Grand Départ of the 2026 Tour de France to bring you an exclusive first look at the most advanced tech in the pro peloton. We go behind the scenes at the team hotels to inspect Tadej Pogačar’s record-setting Colnago, Tom Pidcock’s custom-painted Pinarello, and a variety of radical new aero designs. Plus, we weigh a Bianchi that might just be light enough to give the UCI commissaires a headache!
