The 2019 Tour de France was one of the most exciting in recent memory with Egan Bernal (Team Ineos) becoming the youngest winner in 110 years and the first Colombian to wear the yellow jersey into Paris in the 100-year history of the famous maillot jaune.
Recent custom has dictated the different classification winners at the Tour de France ride the final stage aboard custom-painted bikes to match their jerseys and this year was no different. This win is Pinarello's 15th Tour de France and the Italian company presented Bernal with an all-yellow version of the new Pinarello Dogma F12 frameset, which was launched earlier this year.
Specialized also got in on the customisation in Paris, presenting Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) with a predominantly green design to celebrate his record seventh green points classification jersey.
