There are no major changes at AG2R compared to 2022, and the riders will continue to ride with professional racing bikes from the Swiss brand BMC. The French team is the only team to be equipped with Campagnolo material in 2023, both in terms of wheels and groupsets. There will be a small change in the colour of the wheels: instead of red and white, the 2023 wheels will be a bright blue.
Alpecin-Deceuninck is officially part of the World Tour for the first time in 2023. Even after this success, the team remains loyal to manufacturers such as Canyon and Kalas. With gear groups from Shimano and tyres from Vittoria, the equipment around Dutch cycling star Mathieu van der Poel is complete.
Alongside Cofidis, Arkea-Samsic is the second team to start 2023 with a new frame manufacturer. In future, the riders will use frames from the traditional Italian manufacturer Bianchi, including the new Bianchi Oltre RC. The equipment is completed by wheels from Shimano, tyres from Continental and saddles from Sella Italia.
Astana Qazaqstan Team will not be making any major changes either. The team will continue to ride Wilier professional racing bikes with Shimano gears and wear Giordana clothing. When it comes to professional racing bikes, the riders around Marc Cavendish can choose between the Wilier Zero, Wilier Filante SLR and the Wilier Turbine TT models.
Since Bahrain-Victorious switched from Nalini clothing to Alé in the summer of 2021, there have been no major changes. The team continues to use Merida professional road bikes with Shimano groupsets and components from FSA and Vision. Bahrain Victorious successfully switched from tubular tyres to tubeless tyres in the 2021 season. In 2023, the team is using the new GP5000S TR tyres from Continental.
Team Bora-Hansgrohe starts the new season without any major changes. Specialized will remain the frame sponsor and will also supply tyres and saddles. According to TOUR information, however, the German team will switch to a new Tarmac during the season. Pictures of a new aero cockpit are already circulating. With the help of clothing manufacturer Le Col, Bora-Hansgrohe has developed one of the fastest jerseys currently on the market.
Cofidis is one of two teams starting the 2023 season with a new frame supplier: they are switching from De Rosa to Look. The French manufacturer is equipping the team with a new aero model, which is initially only available as a prototype for Simon Geschke & Co. Cofidis has also switched from Campagnolo to Shimano. In terms of wheels, they have opted for the French manufacturer Corima. When it comes to clothing, the team remains loyal to the Van Rysel brand, which belongs to the Decathlon chain.
The EF Education EasyPost suppliers remain largely the same. The wheels of the 2023 professional road bikes are from Vision, the groupset from Shimano and the components from FSA and Vision. However, there is something new with the Cannondale frames: at the Tour Down Under, the EF pros will be riding an as yet unreleased SuperSix Evo 4. Rapha is once again producing the team's jerseys for 2023. The jersey is in light and dark pink, with the different shades of pink representing the past, present and future of the team.
FDJ has one of the longest equipment partnerships in the World Tour with Lapierre frames. This and the partnership between Shimano and Alé will continue in 2023. Garmin computers and Prologo components round off the team's equipment.
In 2022, Ineos changed its clothing supplier. Instead of Castelli, the team will now be kitted out by Bioracer. The team also wants to say goodbye to Oakley and switch to Sungood sunglasses in 2023. Otherwise, not much will change at Ineos. They use the Italian manufacturer's Pinarello Dogma frames and Continental tyres.
There are two special changes at Intermarche-Circus-Wanty. Firstly, the team's professional racing bikes will have Rotor cranks and power meters in 2023. Secondly, Uvex is returning to the World Tour and equipping Intermarche with helmets and goggles. For example, the Uvex race 9 and the Uvex pace one V and uvex sportstyle 236 goggles will be used, while all other suppliers such as Nalini for the clothing and Newman for the wheels will remain the same.
Jumbo-Visma has probably made the most significant change for 2023. The team is switching from Shimano to SRAM, with the wheels coming from Reserve. There has also been a change in the eyewear and footwear: Wout van Aert & Co. have been racing with Oakley sunglasses and Nimbl shoes since this season.
For the new season, Movistar is parting ways with clothing manufacturer La Passione and switching to Gobik. Otherwise, there are no major changes. The frames are still from Canyon, and Zipp will also remain the team's wheel manufacturer. Movistar has also announced a new partnership with the Spanish brand Blub Lube, which will supply the team with chain lubricant and bike cleaning products.
It was announced some time ago that Soudal - Quick Step will be supported by the sealant and adhesive manufacturer Soudal from 2023. All other sponsors will remain. The combination of professional racing bikes from Specialized and Shimano has proven itself over several years, with Specialized supplying not only frames, but also shoes, helmets and tyres. The Castelli jerseys are again in the colours blue and white, but have changed a little visually.
Team DSM will ride Scott bikes until 2025. The team is also equipped with Shimano gears and Shimano wheels. Syncros has been providing components such as cockpits and seat posts since 2021. Saddles will also be added for the new season. The clothing manufacturer is still Nalini.
The team was known as BikeExchange-Jayco until the end of 2022 and is now called Jayco-AlUla. Despite the name change, the equipment suppliers remain largely the same. Giant is the bike sponsor and provides the team with its own Cadex wheels. The team colours are also still light blue and white, both for the racing bike and the jersey from the manufacturer Alé.
Not much has changed at Trek-Segafredo. The team continues to rely on professional racing bikes from Trek, Sram gears and Bontrager components. The racing bike outfit is also being produced by Santini this year, with a new striking pattern on the back. The only change is in the pedals. Trek Segafredo will be using pedals from French manufacturer Time in 2023.
There is a big change at UAE Team Emirates. For the 2023 season, the team will only keep the Colnago frame and change the groupset from Campagnolo to Shimano. In addition, the riders will be riding on Enve wheels in the future after UAE tested various brands in the wind tunnel and the American manufacturer came out on top. The SRM computers will be replaced by computers from Wahoo.
There are 15 women's World Tour teams this year. Some have brought new title sponsors on board, but only one team will be travelling on new bikes. Team Roland Cogeas Edelweiss will change its name to Israel-Premier Tech Roland in 2023 and switch from Look to Factor racing bikes, similar to Team Israel-Premier Tech for the men.
The women's World Tour teams are also making some minor changes to their clothing manufacturers. Like the men's team, Movistar is switching from La Passione to Gobik after just one year. The women's team UAE Emirates ADQ has switched from Gobik to Pissei for 2023. UAE Emirates ADQ is also switching from Campagnolo to Shimano for 2023, while the riders of the Jumbo-Visma team are switching from Shimano to Sram.
