Professional racing bikes Tour de France 2022: The Tour de France is the largest cycling race in the world and is of great importance to the professionals. This year, the Grand Boucle does not start in its own country, but a little further north from France, namely in Copenhagen. The drivers have to cover a total of 21 stages and 3.346,5 kilometers before they reach the legendary finish in Paris. Different wheels are used on the individual sections, which have been specially adapted to the terrain. Most teams have three different models in their portfolio: a light bike for the mountain stages, an aerobike for the flat stages and sprints, and a time trial bike for the fight against the clock. Even before the start of this year's Tour of France, we tried to get an overview of which models the individual teams will be using. Find our list of professional road bikes for the Tour de France 2022 here.
Since some manufacturers are still showing new models or designs for the Tour de France at short notice, this list of professional racing bikes for the Tour de France is constantly being expanded and updated.
