The Bikes For The Cobbles | Tour De France 2014

Описание: Stage 5 of the 2014 Tour de France covers some savage sections of pavé and cobbles, meaning that the pros will need some specific kit. This is what they're using.

We took a very close look at three of the bikes used in this stage, including spending some time of the Trek Domane ourselves before it was pressed back in to use as a spare bike by the Trek Factory Racing Team.

The Cervelo R3 Mud is a bespoke bike used by the Garmin SHARP team, and Sebastian Langevelde's bike is one of the most tuned and tailored in the race, including an entire groupset chosen for it's performance on the cobbles.

Finally in contrast, the Specialized Roubaix used by the Astana team looks almost retro with the alloy rims. If they use them on race day, they may be the only team riding them.
