  • Chris Froome’s 2022 Bike size

    Chris Froome’s 2022 Bike size

    This page is dedicated to Chris Froome’s 2022 Bike Size.
    Chris Froome rides with the team Israel Premier Tech since 2021.
    There is nothing for me to add to the exceptional Palmares of the four-times Tour de France winner so let’s jump into the bike nerdy bits and size.

    There is a unique fact about Chris Froome on top of his numerous victories.
    Froome is the only pro rider on the UCI World Tour riding his own bike brand.
    Chris Froome invested in Factor bike company and joined the board of directors in 2021.

    That’s certainly influenced a little bit the bikes’ conception and the reason why there is a rim brake version of the O2 VAM in the Factor’s catalog.

  • Vincenzo Nibali’s Willier Bike Size 2022

    Vincenzo Nibali’s Willier Bike Size 2022

    Today I am writing about Vincenzo Nibali’s Willier Bike Size 2022.
    Vincenzo is such a star in the pro cycling world, and on his Sicily island, I will spare your time and jump straight into the nerdy content about his 2022 bike size and fit.

    But for the sake of putting things in perspective, I will still mention that Vincenzo Nibali is a great rider to watch in mountain stages.
    He is one of the fastest downhillers in the peloton.
    Although he lost a bit of cadence in steep climbs as the year of retirement is around the corner, Vincenzo still races for podiums.

  • Primož Roglič’s Bike Size 2022

    Primož Roglič’s Bike Size 2022

    This post is about Primož Roglič’s Bike Size 2022. More specifically, to Primoz Cervelo R5 2022.

    Two years and a half have passed since I first reviewed Primož Roglič’s Bike Size therefore a refresher was due.

    Cervelo is the bike sponsor of Team Jumbo-Visma, replacing Bianchi since 2021. 

    It is interesting to observe how Primož Roglič found his fitting transitioning from an Italian frame to a Canadian style.

    The cycling season is in full motion, and teams are testing their new bikes on races before the Tour de France.

    Watching the Paris-Nice allows me to validate Primož Roglič’s Bike Size and set up as close as it will be on the Tour de France and La Vuelta ciclista a España.

    As always, Bicycle nerd friend, keep on reading to find out below:

  • UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022

    UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022

    This page focus on UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022. The prime purpose is to link each rider to his bike review as the season goes.

    Needless to present, the team that won the Tour de France 2020 and 2021 with super talented Tadej Pogacar.
    With more strong riders joining this year, the team will keep its winning streak.
    After hiring George Bennett, Primoz Roglic lieutenant till 2021, Jao Almeida, and Marc Soler, UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022 looks like the strongest team heading the Tour de France.

    Looking at the team selection for the Tour de France and La Vuelta, I think UAE will win both Grand Tours with this configuration.

    The team has also fine-tuned its sprinter’s team to support Fernando Gaviria with Pascal Ackermann and Felix Groß joining.

  • Cycling Team Trek – Segafredo 2022

    Cycling Team Trek – Segafredo 2022

    This page is committed to Cycling Team Trek – Segafredo 2022. I use it as a hub related to the team and will link each rider to his bike size review as the season goes on.


    The team is strong on the Classics with specialists like Jasper Stuyven, Edward Theus, and Mads Pedersen.
    For the Grand Tours, the team lacks a strong leader. There are excellent riders able to get into the top ten of the General Classification. I think of Julien Bernard, Kenny Elissonde, Bauke Mollema and Giulio Ciccone.

    This year I look for the Eritrean rider, Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier, and the American Quinn Simmons to win some stages. They are gaining experience and confidence as they race.
