Each year, when the Tour de France rolls round, the tech team at Cyclingnews heads to the Grand Départ before the race and, as we affectionately describe it, do a tour of hotel car parks. More specifically, we meet each team in turn, often in a somewhat random order, and eye up their bikes to create our mega Grand Départ tech gallery.
This year, with stage 1 being a team time trial, we spent the whole of Saturday bouncing from bus to bus, pulling together our team time trial tech gallery.
