TOUR presents the German riders' road bikes as part of the Tour de France 2025. Here we take a closer look at the Factor Ostro VAM from Pascal Ackermann.

The sprinter from the Palatinate was the most successful German cyclist at the Tour de France 2024 - the now 31-year-old finished on the podium three times last year.

Pascal Ackermann will be competing with the Factor Ostro VAM, which is mainly driven by the team. The team also has a spectacular prototype at the start, which is used sporadically by individual drivers.

Israel - PremierTech is launching an eye-catching design. The Factor Ostro VAM is painted in watercolours reminiscent of a sunrise. Each frame is unique - no two racing bikes from the Israeli team are identical.
