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 little has changed, with the Welshman clearly trusting the equipment he used in 2015.

Originally designed in a partnership with former sponsor Jaguar, the Pinerallo Dogma F8 is one of the 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 in the peloton.
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.
