This SL7 has possibly the nicest paint job of the Specialized-sponsored teams Cycling TDF2022
Take a look at the Tour de France peloton this year and you’ll notice that there are a fair few teams riding very similar-looking bikes. Specialized sponsors three teams in the race and they all ride the S-Works Tarmac SL7. Here is the TotalEnergies edition.
Once Europcar pulled their sponsorship, the team became Direct Energie and is now TotalEnergies. The latest sponsor change has brought the biggest change to the roster with French stars being somewhat ousted by the likes of Sagan, Boasson Hagen and Terpstra. The team uses Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets, but this isn’t the latest 12-speed model. TotalEnergies is buying the groupsets in, so this is likely to be a cost-saving exercise, but it does afford the riders a little more freedom to use third-party components when they want to.
Roval’s Rapide CLX II wheels are used for the faster stages thanks to their aero credentials and mounted to these are as-yet unreleased Specialized tubeless tyres.
