The demands and needs WorldTour pro racers place on their equipment are far removed from those of the vast majority of everyday riders, but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying ogling at the latest and greatest kit that the top-end of the sport uses.

We’ve spent the last two weeks hassling mechanics at the 2019 edition of the Tour Down Under — the opening WorldTour race of the season — and from our findings, we’re pleased to present a comprehensive illustrated breakdown of what groupsets, tyres and pedals each WorldTour team will use in 2019.

We'll also reveal which teams will exclusively ride disc brakes this season.

What groupsets do WorldTour pro racers use?

For the 2019 season, SRAM, Campagnolo and Shimano are the sole three groupset suppliers to the pro peloton.

We’ve heard rumour that Rotor’s 1x13 groupset may make an appearance on a few very, very select occasions — likely on Dimension Data’s bikes — and we wouldn’t be surprised to see FSA’s K-Force WE groupset pop up at some point, but you can guarantee that the main three will dominate the season.
