    Looking for the latest? Check out the Vuelta a España 2025: Teams, Riders & Bikes Ultimate Guide here.

    23 teams of 8 riders start the Spanish Grand Tour that is held for three weeks.

    Among the 23 teams, 6 teams are racing with 12 speeds (Campagnolo / Sram)while the remaining 17 teams are racing with only 11 speeds (Shimano / FSA).

    Only one team is racing with rim brakes, the Team Ineos – Grenadier.

    If the last two edition of La Vuelta have been won on rim brakes by Primož ROGLIČ , this year the odds are thin for the Vuelta to be won on rim brakes as Primož is now on disc.

    Will the Vuelta be won by disc brakes bike or rim brakes? Whichever is fine, I only gather facts and have no particular preference. For sure the rim brakes era is fading away.

    Giro d’Italia 2021’s Team Bikes and Riders Start list

    This post is dedicated to the Giro d’Italia 2021’s Team Bikes and Riders Start list. It is an ongoing project started and I will try to keep this page updated as time goes.

    The 2021 Giro d’Italia edition starts May 8th with an Individual Time Trial (ITT) and ends on May 30th in Milano with another ITT.

    As they say in finance, past performances doesn’t guarantee future results. Each edition of the Giro is unpredictable and I feel it is even more prevalent since 2020.
