The Tour de France has come to an end, and what a race it turned out to be – both in terms of rider performances and the bikes and tech we saw along the way. We were on the ground in Barcelona, trawling the paddocks and team hotels in the quest of spotting new bikes and tech – you can read all about that in our TT and road tech gallery from the Grand Depart.
The biggest bike news was Remco Evenepoel's unreleased Specialized S-Works Shiv TT bike that stole the show at the Grand Depart in Barcelona. The Belgian had two versions of the new bike at his disposal – a camouflaged model and a regular team-liveried bike, the latter of which he steered to victory on stage 16's individual time trial. As we saw at the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Paul Seixas was also experimenting with options including his Van Rysel RCR-Pro prototype.
