Geraint Thomas first rode the Tour de France back in 2007, aboard a Cannondale as part of the Barloworld squad. For most people though his racing days are so deeply intertwined with that of Team Sky, and lately Ineos Grenadiers, that it's strange to think of him not throwing a leg over a Pinarello Dogma F.
Pinarello has staunchly remained a one-bike-to-do-it-all outfit when it comes to race bikes. It doesn't offer a superlight option, nor an all-out aero machine like Tadej Pogačar's Colnago Y1Rs that I've also photographed in the Tour buildup. Instead, the Dogma aims to be good over all terrain, something I can confirm it does in my own review of the bike. In this regard it is much like Remco Evenepoel's Specialized Tarmac SL8; light enough for the mountains, aero enough for the flats, and no need to stress about changing bikes from one stage to another.
