Stage 13 of the 2025 Tour de France presents unique challenges with its short 10.9km length featuring both flat and mountainous terrain. Time trial bikes offer aerodynamic advantages, while road bikes are lighter and provide better power output on climbs. Remco Evenepoel utilized his Specialized Shiv time trial bike throughout the stage, equipped with Roval Rapide CLX III wheels. He adopted a new climbing-specific time trial position to balance power and aerodynamics. Extensive adjustments were made, including multiple bike fits and wind tunnel sessions for optimal results.
Remco Evenepoel has not only optimised his equipment but also overhauled his position on the bike, marking a significant strategy for Stage 13.
Evenepoel's bike fitter has revealed a new, climbing-specific time trial position, allowing him to maintain power while also retaining aerodynamics.
