Race Tech Gallery: Tour Down Under 2014

This article originally appeared on BikeRadar

As we found last year, logistical challenges of racing in another continent means many teams travel light and some even bring along older equipment, leaving it behind once the race is over.

But with a new season comes team changes, sponsor changes, new equipment to ride and a first chance for the public to see it all. We spotted Belkin's new Bianchi machines, the bikes ridden by the new Giant-Shimano team, Garmin's Steele Von Hoff sporting a POC Octal Aero helmet, Frank Schleck's interesting looking Bontrager shoes, and Adam Hansen's own design footwear.

Kick your feet up and have a click through our extensive Tour Down Under Image Gallery and see what’s new (and old) amongst the pros.
