Weve spotted a new Van Rysel aero bike, the FCR, at the Tour de France.Van Rysel, Decathlons premium bike brand, entered the WorldTour at the start of 2024, with the European multi-sport retailer also assuming co-sponsorship of the DecathlonAG2R La Mondiale team.Until now, the team has been riding the Van Rysel RCR Pro, the brands all-rounder. Like many of the latest Tour de France race bikes, it attempts to balance aerodynamics and low weight, with the frame weighing a claimed 790g.While a growing number of brands are simplifying their ranges by offering one do-it-all race bike Trek is the latest to jump on board with that trend by redesigning the Madone and discontinuing the monda Van Rysel appears to be heading in the other direction.We spotted the new aero bike at the DecathlonAG2R La Mondiale team hotel ahead of the 2024 Tour de France, which kicks off in Florence on Saturday.Felix Gall has been riding the new Van Rysel FCR ahead of the Grand Dpart. - David Pintens / Getty ImagesWhile we were quickly shooed away from the new bike, we did get an initial look, and one of the teams riders, Felix Gall, has also been spotted on the FCR during DecathlonAG2R La Mondiale's final pre-Tour shakedown ride.The new bike appears to be named the FCR (its on the top tube). This bike was first teased by Van Rysel last year although we dont know if the machine being ridden at the Tour de France has evolved any further. Van Rysels aero road helmet is also named the FCR, so theres a theme here.The head tube is notably deeper and more heavily truncated than the RCR Pro, while the down tube and seat tube also sport a more rectangular design than the teams current bike.The team's current bike, the Van Rysel RCR Pro (pictured), is more of an all-rounder. - Simon von Bromley / Our MediaThe aero touches continue at the rear of the bikes, with knife-like, bladed seatstays on the FCR.Compared to the RCR Pros more flowing, rounded design, the fork has a deeper profile, with a squared-off base at the dropouts. The bike weve seen at the Tour de France has a Deda integrated cockpit.Thats all we know for now, but look out for this one over the next three weeks. You cant miss it, thanks to the distinctive camouflage paint job.Well bring you more, when we know more.
