Colnago Pogaar had already been riding custom yellow decals on his ENVE SES 4.5 Pro wheels since he took the yellow jersey for good and these are marked with the Slovenian national flag, rather than the world champion's stripes elsewhere. Colnago Each team rider will be able to keep their limited-edition bike, with special nods to their nationality on the lower seat tube and ENVE wheels. Brandon McNulty will receive his unridden bike, having abandoned on stage 18. Colnago The top tube features each team rider's name for the 2026 race. Pogaar, though, gets the world champion's stripes on his bike. The dots and dashes represent 'Y1Rs' in Morse code. Pogaar has made the outstretched palm five a signature celebration in the past when he's won five stages of a race. This is a hidden detail tucked in behind the head tube, made possible by the bayonet fork design of the Y1Rs. The bike uses a yellow Carbon-Ti hanger and thru-axle. Pogaar and company normally run red Carbon-Ti components. Yellow Carbon-Ti bottle cage bolts were also used. The seatstays are adorned with this graphical representation of the 2026 race parcours. Isaac del Toro's bike is the odd one out, with a white colourway to celebrate his victory in the young rider's classification he finished the race in third overall, behind Remco Evenepoel and Pogaar. Naturally, del Toro couldn't be left out of the yellow party completely, so he ran yellow bar tape as well as the yellow ENVE decals and Carbon-Ti accessories. Colnago
