The entire Gerolseiner team rides custom Specialzied S-works Tarmacs.

AG2r rides Decathalon, and FdJ rides La Pierre's

Thanks....I was just about to start a thread asking if anyone knew of what bikes were being ridden or at least had a link that had the info.

Great. Now can someone say what kind of gearing setup they use? I'd guess they swap for the mountains/flats, but do they use a standard double 53-39 and 12-25 for most of the flats? Or is there any consensus on that?

I do know that for TTT they were running 55/11. And spinning it hard!

55/11! I'm hurting just thinking about that...

anyone have a good pic of 55/11 from the TTs?

Here's Discovery's rig...

Not true. They ride three different bikes: Specialized S-Works Tarmac, S-works Tarmac SL (only Levi) and S-works Roubaix. They are the only team I know that rides three different bikes for the same stage.

Here's Discovery's rig...


To be more specfic, Lance's TT rig. Bontranger custom printed a rear disc wheel for him, and the 10/2 decal.

Cervelo P3 Carbon



In use
