The Start Line

The Tour de France is the pinnacle of professional cycling, bringing together the world's best riders, teams, equipment and technology across three weeks of relentless racing. From explosive sprint finishes to punishing Alpine and Pyrenean climbs, every stage places unique demands on both rider and machine. The world's biggest race showcases the best equipment and bikes from Cervélo, Trek and Giant, paired with drivetrain technology from Shimano and SRAM, while lightweight wheelsets from Zipp, DT Swiss and Vision help riders maximise speed and efficiency when every second counts.

Performance extends far beyond the bike itself. Teams like UAE trust MET helmets for aerodynamic performance, ventilation and protection, while high-performance road tyres from Continental, Pirelli, Schwalbe and Vittoria deliver the grip, rolling speed and confidence needed in all conditions. Garmin cycling computers provide accurate navigation and detailed performance insights, helping riders manage every kilometre from the Grand Départ to Paris. Whether you're inspired by the professionals or preparing for your own challenge, you'll find the same trusted brands relied upon throughout the Tour de France.
