If you’ve ever wondered about those blue Shimano road bikes you sometimes see in pro bike races, well wonder no more.
At this year’s Tour de France, we got up close and personal with one and in this video Simon reveals all of its secrets – including what bike it really is, why it’s the only bike in the pro peloton to use a dropper post and how much it weighs.
