Stage 13 features a compelling variety of bike setups, particularly among Grand Tour contenders. Remco Evenepoel's modified time trial bike and race leader Pogačar's lightweight Colnago Y1Rs at 6.9kg highlight the emphasis on performance. Key modifications for Pogačar's bike include removing paint to reduce weight, opting for smaller chainrings, using 25mm tyres for aerodynamics, and filling tyres with less sealant. Additionally, the choice of smaller brake rotors contributes to lowering overall bike weight without compromising necessary braking performance.
The stage 13 mountain time trial showcases a variety of bike setups, with a trend towards 'road mullet' wheel configurations featuring deep fronts and shallow rears.
Remco Evenepoel rides a modified time trial bike with deep road wheels, while the race leader uses a hill-climb modified Colnago Y1Rs weighing 6.9kg.
To achieve a lighter bike, Pogačar's team removed paint for a matte clearcoat, used smaller chainrings, 25mm tyres, and reduced the amount of sealant.
The selection of 140mm brake rotors instead of the standard 140/160mm pair aids in weight reduction without compromising braking power for uphill conditions.
