New aero model from Van Rysel celebrates its premiere at the Tour de France

At the team presentation, we also discovered a previously unreleased racing bike from Van Rysel. The sports equipment giant Decathlon's own brand is equipping the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team this year. So far, the riders around climbing specialist Felix Gall have been travelling on the RCR, which TOUR has already tested.

There is no official information on the new aero bike yet. While the Decathlon pros were on stage, we were able to take a look at the new bike. In addition to the eye-catching paintwork and the aero tyres, the flat tube shapes on the head tube, fork and seat tube are striking. The bike, which was mounted unattended on an escort vehicle, was fitted with a single drivetrain with a chainring from the British tuning company Drag2Zero. The cockpit was made by Deda, the wheels by Swiss Side.
