There are 19 bike brands sponsoring the 22 teams of the Tour de France 2020. Canyon, Willier and Specialized have two teams each, while the other brands all have their eggs in the course of one team.
Here we present one bike as ridden by each team. Keep in mind that most brands have a few models for which team riders can choose. So Movistar riders, for example, can choose between the Canyon Aeroad aero bike and the Ultimate all-round race bike. Plus, of course, there are also time trial machines in the mix.
For components, Shimano, Campagnolo, SRAM, and Rotor are all in the mix, with Shimano the lion’s share of the teams.
Almost all teams sit on disc brakes, with the notable exception of Jumbo-Visma, whose riders such as Wout van Aert have had great success racing on ‘old-fashioned’ rim brakes.
