With the 108th edition of the Giro d'Italia starting this weekend, all the WorldTour teams, plus wildcard entries, will be travelling to Albania for the start in Durres. Each squad will be armed with a truck full of bikes and kit. At the Grand Tours each of the eight riders has one, two or even three road bikes as well as a couple of time trial bikes at their disposal. Add in the numerous wheelset options and the replacement components and it adds up to a serious operation.

The race favourites, such as Primož Roglič, Juan Ayuso, Mikel Landa and Adam and Simon Yates, will likely have yet more bikes atop the team cars, guarding as best they can against mishaps in a race where every second counts. For many these will be the same bikes they’ve ridden during the early season races, from Milan-San Remo to Paris-Roubaix, but with the possibility of a featherweight climbing bike added for the mountains of the Giro.
