Stage 18 of the Tour de France is a very hilly time trial. This presents some difficult equipment choices that need some custom solutions and bikes for riders like Chris Froome and Nairo Quintana.

Stage 18 of the Tour de France features a short flat section, a big climb, and then a short descent. This could be one of the decisive stages of the race for the podium challengers like Porte, Quintana, Yates and Mollema. While most of the Tour de France riders will ride on a TT bike or a road bike, the favourites will be on custom road bike/time trial bike hybrids that optimise for both bike weight and aerodynamics.
