Tour de France Pro Bike - Giant TCR SL 0 of Team Bike Exchange. Get up close with this climber's classic here Cycling TDF2022 GreenEDGEteam GiantUK
The Giant TCR of Team Bike Exchange is a lovely machine and we got a very look at the bike of Aussie Nick Schultz prior to the race starting in Denmark. He got oh so close to a maiden stage win on the road to Megeve, so this is obviously an incredibly capable race bike when it comes to the mountains.Shultz’s build is one that has a classic feel in these days of everything being aero.
While most manufacturers went with a fully integrated front end, Giant said that the TCR was focused on stiffness to weight and so they chose not to chase a marginal aero gain.Sticking with the front end of the bike, Giant uses an oversized steerer tube, so you’ll find a chunky Giant carbon stem which you wouldn’t be able to use on most other steerer tubes.
The groupset is a 12-speed Dura-Ace Di2 setup, though Bike Exchange doesn’t have the latest Dura-Ace chainset power meters.Schultz uses the new Shimano standard chainring combination of 54/40T and pairs this with an 11-32T cassette. That should cover him for all stages of the Tour, though he may go for a closer ration cassette on the flatter stages.
