Tour de France 2015

If you are looking for the latest team bikes, technology, news and results from the 2015 Tour de France then this is the page for you.  Our talented tech team including Mat Brett and David Arthur have been sniffing round the pits (not those kinds of pits) and playing with the shiniest kit.

If Mark Cavendish had actually been mechanically doping we would have known about it first. As the swarm of yellow bikes are rolled out (like this one for Rohan Dennis) we will be there and when the local postman goes berserk and starts trashing the course, we will get the video up first.

Loads of other sites will give you bland old stage reports and endless lists of finishers in lazer quick time but we will give you the best tech and people stories from the tour, because that’s what we like to read too.

This years tour is definately a race for the climbers with only 42km of time trials but a mammoth 8 mountain stages the last of which is on the 25th of July on the infamous L’Alpe d’Huez.  Is this going to give the french their best chance ever to get a winner with the likes of Romain Bardet, Jean Christophe Peraud and Thibaut Pinot, all noted climbers, lining up in Uterecht on teh 4th of July or will it be the usual suspects with Chris Froome and Alberto Contador taking the honours in the all new inner city circuit designed for the 2015 finish in Paris.
