After winning the 2015 E3 Harelbeke one-day race, Geraint Thomas went on to support his Sky teammate Chris Froome to a second win at the Tour de France last year. This is now the Welsh rider’s sixth season with the British power team, and 2016 looks to be full of general classification ambition.
It’s a year on since we last looked over the Team Sky bike of Geraint Thomas, and frankly, not much has changed. Between sponsor changes and new product releases, using a near-exact setup from year to year is rather rare in the WorldTour peloton.
Originally designed in a partnership with former sponsor Jaguar, the Pinerallo Dogma F8 is one of the more premium framesets in the pro peloton. Its aero shapes are combined with refined Italian handling and a unique aesthetic to create a bike that’s often regarded as one of the nicest going.

Mechanics of Team Sky joked that Thomas doesn’t like change in his bike setup and that 2016 was therefore a good year. For the 29-year-old rider, it also means there’s no wasted time in adapting to new components or differences in handling; it’s just straight back to business.
