Both Pinarello-mounted Pro Teams (Sky and Movistar) are running electronic drivetrains, albeit from different manufacturers. Sky's rigs feature Shimano parts, including Di2 and Dura-Ace wheels, as well as stems and handlebars from Deda, Elite bottle cages and Prologo saddles.


Shimano's Di2 battery is noticeably different than Campagnolo's version. Sky is also equipped with SRM power meters mated to the Dura-Ace cranks.


Team Sky runs Deda handlebars and stems. Along with providing saddles, Prologo also supplies bar tape.


Rabobank's Jos Van Emden hucks his Giant into a corner - his teammate Michael Matthews would take his own Giant across the finish line first on stage 3.


Rabobank riders have the option of running either standard Dura-Ace or the electronic Di2 on their Giant TCR, which features an integrated seat post and Giant's OverDrive head tube.


The Giant TCR frames feature internal cable routing, including the rear brake cable, and Di2-equipped bikes have shifter cables entering the frame under the top tube.


 The handlebar and stem are from Dutch company PRO components.
