Although none of the 18 WorldTour teams have changed bike sponsors for 2016, there have been several changes in equipment at the top tier of men's professional cycling.
Katusha are one of the team's to change transmission for 2016, joining AG2R La Mondiale on SRAM's eTap electronic road transmission although both squads are in the majority with Shimano supplying the lions share. Campagnolo can count on Astana, Lotto Soudal and Movistar while FSA is set to enter the market with Etixx-Quick Step and Tinkoff later in the year with both teams on Shimano until then.
Specialized are once again the top bike supplier in the WorldTour with three teams while Scott and Canyon can count on two teams leaving 11 other bicycle manufactures to supply one team each. Cervélo returns to WorldTour with Dimension Data with Colnago the most obvious brand missing from the list.
