Reckon you know your Pro Teams? Test your knowledge of their bikes in our quiz.

While some teams will stick have stuck with a certain bike brand since the team’s conception, (we’re looking at you, Team Ineos), other teams seem to change their bike supplier each year.

Some riders will even change teams to stick with a certain brand or move because they feel a certain setup is hampering their chances. This can cause quite the hoo-ha and a rider leaving a team in a strop can often provide some juicy details on their misgivings about their old bike.

Rohan Dennis ditches sponsors' bike and helmet as he retains Worlds TT crown

But while some of the bike brands of the Pro Teams will be obvious, with bike brands often acting as title sponsors, the lack of racing so far in 2020 means that many of the brands might not still be with the teams that you associate them with.

There were certainly some big moves over the winter and new brands have come into the Pro peloton.

16/19.  Towards the end of a season I'm pretty sure I'd get them all without even thinking, but teams like NTT (used to be Cervelo!), Astana (who knows?) and Bahrain who've changed quite often foxed me.

9/19. The marketing departments should worry! Although it's not like there's been any racing recently to reinforce the brand association.

It's something that surprises me, regards to cycling. Surely all bike manufacturers should be in the team name of all teams, e;g Ineos-Pinarello, EF-Cannondale, JumboVima-Bianchi....

The amount of support & money they provide - and most importantly, no bikes=no racing.

Putting my motorsports hat on, most teams have the car/engine supplier in the official team name - if it's good enough for them, it's good enpugh for cycling.

The marketing, and promotion in cycling is still miles behind most other sports - and lets not get into the failed financial model....
