Climbing Bikes Are BACK At The Tour De France!

Welcome back to Part 2 of our 2026 Tour de France Tech coverage! In this video, we're getting up close and personal with Remco Evenepoel's shiny new Specialized Tarmac SL9 and diving into the marginal gains on Mathieu van der Poel's ultra-fast Canyon. Plus, we spot a highly-anticipated Ridley prototype, Arnaud De Lie's radically updated Orbea Orca Aero, and a wild new POC time trial helmet you have to see to believe. ⏱️ Timestamps ⏱️ 00:00 - Intro: 2026 Tour de France Tech Part 2 00:22 - Mathieu van der Poel's Canyon Aeroad 01:42 - MVDP's Canyon Speedmax TT Bike 03:13 - Unreleased Ridley Prototype Climbing Bike 06:04 - Arnaud De Lie's New Orbea Orca Aero 08:29 - Remco Evenepoel's S-Works Tarmac SL9 11:08 - Radical New POC TT Helmet & EF's Pink Gear Useful Links: GCN Tech Uploader 👉 https://gcn.eu/techuploader Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing 👉 https://gcntech.co/subscribe Insurance: Viewers in the USA and UK can explore GCN Insurance products 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNinsurance Sign Up To The GCN Newsletter 👉 https://gcn.eu/Newsletter Visit the GCN Shop 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnshop GCN WhatsApp Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNwhatsapp GCN Instagram Broadcast Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/instagrambroadcast Join the GCN Club on Zwift and ride with us! 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNClubRides Which piece of new tech caught your eye the most in Part 2?
