This post is dedicated to João Almeida Colnago Y1RS bike size 2025. The Portuguese climber João Almeida has been riding for UAE Team Emirates since 2022, with a contract running through the end of 2026.
His 2025 season has been remarkable despite a setback at the Tour de France, where he abandoned on Stage 9 after fracturing ribs in a crash. Before that, Almeida claimed three General Classification victories in a row: Itzulia Basque Country, Tour de Romandie, and Tour de Suisse.
Almeida is set to finish second overall in the 2025 Vuelta a España, barring any incidents on the final stage.
This is the bike that flies. Tadej Pogačar’s Colnago Y1RS 2025 is built like a jet and rides like one too. It reminds me a bit of the old Kestrel 4000 LTD – that same fast-looking shape.

🛠 Aero Frame With Race-Ready Details
Up front you got the bayonet-style fork and that cool V-shaped cockpit. Even the Wahoo bike computer mount is 3D printed. Details, details, details.
The wheels? ENVE SES 4.5 Pro – pure speed. Paired with either Continental GP5000 TT TR (for max race day speed) or the new Archetype 30mm tires. Interesting thing: those Archetypes were made with Tadej and the UAE Team Emirates XRG, but he still picks the TT tires most days. Probably for the faster rolling and tighter aero profile in 28mm size.
That’s what sets the Tadej Pogačar Colnago Y1RS 2025 apart, it’s got race-winning tech in every detail.
This whole bike is like a wind-cheating machine.
Pogačar races with a Wahoo GPS — here’s the computer UAE Team Emirates uses.
Like Pogi’s V5Rs climbing bike, this one runs Shimano Dura‑Ace Di2 R9200 but swaps the stock chainrings for Carbon-Ti ones. Marginal gains? Yeah, world champ level.
Sprint shifters are added under the top of the handlebar, so he can click gears with hands on top of the bars.
Saddle? A 3D-printed Fizik Vento Argo Adaptive. Super custom.
The Tadej Pogačar Colnago Y1RS 2025 is always setup for flat-out racing.
Weight is around 7.57kg. Not the lightest, but that’s not the point. This is for speed. Flat stages. Fast terrain. Long hauls at high power. When climbing takes over, Pogi swaps to the lighter V5Rs.
