Beginning the #BikeGallery from the Tour de France of 2024 we have a look at the special-edition Colnago like what Tadej Pogačar rode onto the stage for the team presentation in Florence.
Manolo Bertocchi from Colnago explains the ‘Fleur-de-Lys’ edition – made to celebrate the first TDF Grand Départ in Italy. The start of the 111th edition of the race is in Florence, and the celebrated Italian brand has made 111 of this bike, with Pogačar’s team presentation bike to be auctioned by Sotherby’s Global, beginning on the second rest day, with bidding open for seven days.
Take a look. Click play. See the highlights of a special bike that was on display at Becycle expo at the Pitti exhibition all in Florence sat alongside the special pink Colnago that the champion of the Giro d’Italia rode earlier this year.
