The bike should be pretty easy to pick out in the bunch with the fluo bar tape and Bottles used which I think is a really smart move jco Al Lula are rolling on giant bikes and this is the Propel Advanced SL these are kitted out which REM of j a
Group Zs and kex wheels which Fe feature carbon fiber spokes no one piece integrated handlebar and stem here but there is a focus on a long and narrow setup using a separate bar and stem combo and the tires of Victoria corser Pros Le Tre have chosen to keep their

Let us know in the comments 👇
@gcn @globalcyclingnetwork
Cool video Alex and team! ❤️ My def Fav machine is Lidl’s Trek bike 🔥 But anyway, all of them looks amazing! Greetings from Slovakia.
World tour team bike guide!!!
Send me S-works and i gonna ride it everyday. 😊
No Factor ?!??!!
Nice Cube. Will look nice next to my Nissan Cube. GO WANTY!!!!!!!!
Nice subdued colors instead of the loud bunch.
Personnaly, I hate with passion those gigantic white multiple writing (and logos) on wheels that make bikes look busy. If I want litterature, I prefer to grab a book.
Despite that aspect, I vote for Scott Foil, Cube C68X and because I'm French, Van Rysel RCR pro.
The dogma F has nice colors but its design (the fork particularly) is the ugliest on earth.
It's good that Campagnolo has been dropped. Not a fan of anything that needs ridiculously expensive and proprietry tooling to fit or fettle parts. Fave bike is the Cube.
Disappointed that Lotto was relegated, because I would love to see Orbea on the big stage
It wasn't mechanical neither electronic, but 'economical shifting' that derailed Campy out of the pro peloton. Imagine that.
What happened to uno x and the dare bikes Alex?? One of the affordable bikes next to the van rysel?? Go back to oz and re make please.. 😂
Luvley Jubley! all my favourites!!! 😁
Are there more separate bar and stem combos again? I hope this (at least for us mere mortals) nonsense disappears.
Is it me or that lidl trek has a 12s sram chainring?and that FD is unlabelled and that sram red brake caliper way shinier than the standard red caliper?is that the new sram red ?
The Scott Foil 😊
What is that stem on the giant?
What is the typical tire width for these teams ? I'm curious to see how many teams are still riding 25mm vs 28mm or wider tires?
That Look 795 Blade RS is a slick bike. Love Mapdec's views and breakdown of it on his channel.
Speak for yourself please. Can’t take anyone seriously that says ‘yall’
None of them. I like all of the bikes I own today. They work fine and I have no desire or need for any of these bikes. Especially at these ridiculous prices.
S5 still the best per my eye.
Like the Cube and Look bikes.
Where is Lotto and Orbea?
Basically all the same
Lots of teams are using the Vittoria Corsa Pro tires. How is the puncture resistance on those?
I know BMC have fallen out of the World Tour, but are Factor absent this year too? Most interesting bike to me: the Scott Foil, followed by the Giant Propel.
Look bikes with beautiful Corima wheels are my favorite. Special shout-out to the wind-cheating Cervelo bikes!
it is always interesting GCN's hate to Specialized… I guess it bothers them Specialized's deep pockets aren't interested in 'investing' on GCN…
I think you should have shown the bikes of Israel Premier Tech and Lotto also.
IPT won the Tour down under and these teams take part at all important races.
Good one,Sunny
That bianchi ❤❤❤❤ … would be better with super record however
Ive got to say, canyon makes some nice looking frames. Ive had my eyes on an endurance 6.
Shimano will be paying world tour teams about as much as the compo claims for those delaminating cranks ….. sram is just awful gimmicky nonsense that falls to bits , dire ratios , terrible front shifting …. #nocampagnoparty
Colnago , pinarello , bianchi ❤ with Shimano or worst still scam 🤮, why oh why do world teams do that ….never ever should it be allowed
Specialized sl8 soudal quickstep version.
Please weigh these bikes when you get a chance
Which one is my favourite? I can only drool.
No Campagnolo at all?
