Interestingly and totally unrelated, this was one of the quietest years I’ve seen in the technical zone at a TdF time trial day. Here’s the full listing of exactly what they’re riding, with all of these highlighted up in the full walk-through video above: Interestingly, this is the first year we’ve seen a trainer in the technical zone that’s not from one of the big legacy trainer makers (Wahoo/Garmin-Tacx/Elite/Saris), so that was kinda fun to check out. Plus, what happens step-by-step from when a rider steps out of the team van and to their trainer, all the way up to the starting line. I look at an interesting new trend in how the warm-ups are done, as well as some of the crazy cooling gear athletes and teams use. However, realistically, it’s actually quite a bit more than that in this video. In this video I dive into all the behind-the-scenes bits on time-trial day, including which smart trainers they use. I take you step by step through the team technical zone to show how it all works, from warm-up to UCI checks, to the starting line.
