Loud and proud, subtle and stealthy: the stunning Tour de France Femmes pro bikes have it all

We're more than halfway through the 2022 Tour de Frances Femmes avec Zwift yet the General Classification remains wide open. The eight-day tour features everything from cobbles and gravel to brutal mountain climbs including the iconic Grand Ballon and Planche des Belles Filles.

The grandeur and honor of the first yellow jersey in 33 years is on the line and, as such, the competition is fierce and the equipment absolutely dialled. Here's a look at a selection of the bikes featured in this year's race.

The women’s team shares several sponsors with its brother team but remains a separate entity. To that end, you’ll notice some subtle differences in the paint scheme.
