id=\"elk-2d8aef53-dea7-4848-8a49-3f1da7b6d8ba\">The Grand D\u00e9part of the Tour de France is an unusual dilemma for a tech journalist.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s rarely an onslaught of brand-new bikes like you&#8217;ll find at the Tour d&#8217;Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes warm-up race before it, because teams don&#8217;t want to turn up to the biggest race of the season on tech that hasn&#8217;t already been tested in a racing environment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-2d8aef53-dea7-4848-8a49-3f1da7b6d8ba-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">But as many riders will tell you, the Tour de France is the Tour de France. It&#8217;s the biggest race in the world. So every team spends a significant amount of extra energy ensuring every bike is dialled, with the latest and greatest components at their disposal, and every marginal gain eked out of their setups.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">For this reason, it&#8217;s still a hotbed of tech and an absolute must-see for tech-savvy cyclists around the world.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">And also, occasionally, the biggest bike brand in the world throws everyone a curveball and brings a brand new time trial bike to the race, hides it in the back of a van, and the mechanic forgets to shut the door.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">If you follow us on social media, you&#8217;ll be aware that Tom and I have been on the ground in Barcelona in the lead-up to the race, and we&#8217;ve been bouncing from team hotel to team hotel, hunting down as much tech as we can find.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This gallery will house the cream of the crop of what we&#8217;ve seen. Around 70 images of the coolest, nerdiest, hackiest tech we&#8217;ve seen. Grab a coffee, scroll down, and enjoy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure extended-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-f446b0a1-1bb4-40ff-aeea-79e46266b9dc\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-2560-80.jpg.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1920-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1440-80.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" extended-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"elk-259f703c-71ec-4252-845f-66a29c472f62\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<blockquote class=\"vanilla-quoteblock\">\n<p>There are a couple of things going on here.

id=\"elk-2d8aef53-dea7-4848-8a49-3f1da7b6d8ba\">The Grand D\u00e9part of the Tour de France is an unusual dilemma for a tech journalist.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s rarely an onslaught of brand-new bikes like you&#8217;ll find at the Tour d&#8217;Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes warm-up race before it, because teams don&#8217;t want to turn up to the biggest race of the season on tech that hasn&#8217;t already been tested in a racing environment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-2d8aef53-dea7-4848-8a49-3f1da7b6d8ba-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">But as many riders will tell you, the Tour de France is the Tour de France. It&#8217;s the biggest race in the world. So every team spends a significant amount of extra energy ensuring every bike is dialled, with the latest and greatest components at their disposal, and every marginal gain eked out of their setups.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">For this reason, it&#8217;s still a hotbed of tech and an absolute must-see for tech-savvy cyclists around the world.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">And also, occasionally, the biggest bike brand in the world throws everyone a curveball and brings a brand new time trial bike to the race, hides it in the back of a van, and the mechanic forgets to shut the door.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">If you follow us on social media, you&#8217;ll be aware that Tom and I have been on the ground in Barcelona in the lead-up to the race, and we&#8217;ve been bouncing from team hotel to team hotel, hunting down as much tech as we can find.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This gallery will house the cream of the crop of what we&#8217;ve seen. Around 70 images of the coolest, nerdiest, hackiest tech we&#8217;ve seen. Grab a coffee, scroll down, and enjoy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure extended-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-f446b0a1-1bb4-40ff-aeea-79e46266b9dc\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-2560-80.jpg.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1920-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1440-80.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" extended-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"elk-259f703c-71ec-4252-845f-66a29c472f62\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<blockquote class=\"vanilla-quoteblock\">\n<p>There are a couple of things going on here.

He started out racing cross country in his teens back when 26-inch wheels and triple chainsets were still mainstream, but he found favour in road racing in his early 20s, racing at a local and national level for Somerset-based Team Tor 2000. These days he rides indoors for convenience and fitness, and outdoors for fun on road, gravel, &#8216;cross and cross-country bikes, the latter usually with his two dogs in tow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"relative max-w-[1070px] viafoura-twig-component mt-6 mx-4 lg:mx-0\" data-component-name=\"Viafoura:Comments\" data-nosnippet data-community-guidelines-text=\"&lt;p class=&apos;vfcustom-community-guidelines&apos;&gt;Please follow our &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/about\/#section-community-guidelines&quot;

It&#8217;s the biggest race in the world. So every team spends a significant amount of extra energy ensuring every bike is dialled, with the latest and greatest components at their disposal, and every marginal gain eked out of their setups.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">For this reason, it&#8217;s still a hotbed of tech and an absolute must-see for tech-savvy cyclists around the world.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">And also, occasionally, the biggest bike brand in the world throws everyone a curveball and brings a brand new time trial bike to the race, hides it in the back of a van, and the mechanic forgets to shut the door.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">If you follow us on social media, you&#8217;ll be aware that Tom and I have been on the ground in Barcelona in the lead-up to the race, and we&#8217;ve been bouncing from team hotel to team hotel, hunting down as much tech as we can find.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This gallery will house the cream of the crop of what we&#8217;ve seen. Around 70 images of the coolest, nerdiest, hackiest tech we&#8217;ve seen. Grab a coffee, scroll down, and enjoy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure extended-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-f446b0a1-1bb4-40ff-aeea-79e46266b9dc\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-2560-80.jpg.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1920-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1440-80.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EvnEpyctwSzj6kDgUNydea-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" extended-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"elk-259f703c-71ec-4252-845f-66a29c472f62\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<blockquote class=\"vanilla-quoteblock\">\n<p>There are a couple of things going on here.
