The riders of AG2R Citroën will continue to ride the professional racing bikes of the Swiss brand BMC, as in the 2022 Tour de France - preferably with the Teammachine again. However, the more aerodynamic BMC Timemachine Road could soon be replaced by a prototype, which was already used by some AG2R riders at the Criterium du Dauphine.
The French team is the only team to be equipped with Campagnolo material in 2023, both in terms of wheels and groupsets, and will ride the Italian manufacturer's new Super Record groupset. There is a small change in the colour of the wheels: instead of red and white, the 2023 wheels will be bright light blue.
Alpecin-Deceuninck is officially part of the World Tour for the first time in 2023. The team remains loyal to all manufacturers such as Canyon (frames), Shimano (gears and wheels) and Vittoria (tyres). With clothing from Kalas, the equipment around Dutch cycling star Mathieu van der Poel is complete.
Arkea-Samsic has changed its frame manufacturer. The traditional Italian manufacturer Bianchi is now on board and presents its aero flagship Bianchi Oltre RC for the first time at a Tour De France. The Specialissima lightweight model will be seen at most in the high mountains. The equipment is completed with wheels from Shimano, tyres from Continental and saddles from Sella Italia.
Astana Qazaqstan Team will not be making any major changes either. The team will continue to ride Wilier professional racing bikes with Shimano gears and Corim wheels and wear Giordana clothing. In terms of professional racing bikes, Marc Cavendish's riders can choose between the lightweight Wilier Zero model and the Wilier Filante SLR aero bike, while the time trial bike is called the Wilier Turbine TT.
Since Bahrain Victorious switched from Nalini clothing to Alé in the summer of 2021, there have been no major changes. The team continues to use Merida professional road bikes with Shimano groupsets and components from FSA or the Vision sub-brand. In 2023, the team uses the new Grand Prix 5000 S TR tyres from Continental.
Team Bora-Hansgrohe will start the 2023 Tour de France without any major changes compared to last year. Specialized will continue to be the frame sponsor and will also supply tyres, wheels, add-on parts and saddles. According to TOUR information, the German team will switch to a new Tarmac this season, but the release date is still uncertain. Nevertheless, pictures of a new aero cockpit are already circulating, which is said to be in use on the SL7 at the Tour of France.
Cofidis is one of the teams that started the 2023 season with a new frame supplier: They switched from De Rosa to Look. The French manufacturer is equipping the team with a new aero model, which was initially only available as a prototype for Simon Geschke & Co. and was only officially unveiled at Eurobike on 21 June. Cofidis has also switched from Campagnolo to Shimano. In terms of wheels, they have opted for the French manufacturer Corima, which belongs to Look. When it comes to clothing, the team remains loyal to the Van Rysel brand, which belongs to the Decathlon chain.
The EF Education EasyPost suppliers remain largely the same. The wheels of the 2023 road bikes are from Vision, the groupset from Shimano and the components from FSA and Vision. The Cannondale frames, on the other hand, are new: the team from the USA is travelling with a new Cannondale SuperSix Evo 4. Rapha will once again be producing the team's jerseys in 2023.
Groupama-FDJ has one of the longest equipment partnerships in the World Tour with Lapierre frames. This partnership and that of Shimano and Alé will continue in 2023, with Garmin computers and Prologo components rounding off the team's equipment.
In 2022, Ineos changed its clothing supplier. Instead of Castelli, the team is now kitted out by Bioracer. The team also said goodbye to Oakley and switched to Sungood sunglasses in 2023. Otherwise, not much has changed at Ineos. They consistently use the Italian manufacturer's Pinarello Dogma F frames, Shimano wheels and Continental tyres.
There are two special changes at Intermarche-Circus-Wanty compared to the last Tour de France. Firstly, the team's professional racing bikes will have Rotor cranks and power meters in 2023. Secondly, Uvex is back in the World Tour and is equipping Intermarche with helmets and goggles. For example, the Uvex Race 9 and the Uvex Pace One V and Uvex Sportstyle 236 goggles will be used, while all other suppliers such as Nalini for the clothing and Newmen for the wheels will remain the same.
The team only has a wildcard this year following its relegation from the World Tour and normally rides the Factor Ostro or Factor O2 VAM. The bikes are equipped with Shimano gears and the wheels come from the Australian manufacturer Black Inc. A few weeks ago, a photo of Dylan Teuns on an unpublished racing bike - the successor to the O2 VAM?
Jumbo-Visma has probably made the most significant change for 2023. The team is switching from Shimano to SRAM, with the wheels coming from Cervélo's own brand Reserve. There has also been a change in the eyewear and footwear: Wout van Aert & Co. have been racing with Oakley sunglasses and Nimbl shoes since this season.
Trek-Segafredo changes its name for the Tour de France with the entry of the discounter from Neckarsulm to Lidl-Trek. Otherwise, not much has changed. The team continues to rely on professional racing bikes from Trek, Sram gears and Bontrager components. The racing bike outfit is also being produced by Santini this year, with a new, striking pattern on the back. The only change is in the pedals. In 2023, Lidl-Trek will be using pedals from the manufacturer Time, which was bought by SRAM a few years ago.
Like Israel-Premier Tech, the Belgians are also no longer part of the World Tour. The Lotto-Dstny stable includes the Ridley Noah Fast, the Ridley Helium and the Ridley Dean Fast time trial bike. A new, previously unreleased racing bike was also used here at the Dauphine. The prototype could be at the interface between the Noah Fast aero bike and the Helium lightweight model.
For the new season, Movistar parted company with clothing manufacturer La Passione and switched to Gobik. Otherwise, there are no major changes. The frames are still from Canyon, and SRAM and Zipp remain the team's manufacturers for the gears and wheels.

Following the merger of the Dutch chemical company DSM from the Netherlands and Firmenich - a manufacturer of flavours and fragrances from Switzerland - Team DSM is now called DSM-Firmenich and will ride Scott bikes until 2025. The team is also equipped with Shimano gears and Shimano wheels. Since 2021, the Scott sub-brand Syncros has been providing components such as cockpits and seat posts, and since this season the saddles have also been developed in-house. The clothing manufacturer is still Nalini.
The team was known as BikeExchange-Jayco until the end of 2022 and is now called Team Jayco-AlUla. Despite the name change, the equipment suppliers remain largely the same. Giant is the bike sponsor and also provides the team with its own Cadex wheels and tyres. The team colours are also still light blue and white, both for the racing bike and the jersey from the manufacturer Alé.
The men around Peter Sagan, who is making his farewell appearance at the Tour de France, continue to ride Specialized racing bikes, making them the third team from the US manufacturer. Here too, wheels, tyres and saddles come from the same company, as do helmets and shoes.
There is a big change at UAE Team Emirates. The team is only keeping the Colnago frame for the 2023 season and changing the groupset from Campagnolo to Shimano. The riders will also be riding on Enve wheels after UAE tested various brands in the wind tunnel and the American manufacturer came out on top. The SRM computers have been replaced by computers from Wahoo.
The Norwegians around veteran Alexander Kristoff are taking part in the Tour de France for the first time with a wildcard and are riding DARE bikes. It is also a first for the Norwegian bike manufacturer at the Tour of France. The riders will mainly be using the aerodynamically optimised ASRu.
