Thomas Voeckler was definitely at the pointy end of the Tour of Flanders, finishing eighth, and followed that result up with a win at De Brabantse Pijl. His Colnago C59 is a very striking bike in matte carbon and metal flake green. Photo: Nick Legan

Voeckler and his teammates rode Hutchinson tubulars and used these new Campagnolo red brake pads to stop their Hyperon wheels. Other Campagnolo teams also had the red rubber pad. Perhaps a new compound? Photo: Nick Legan

Aivee is a small French CNC company producing hubs, bottom brackets and a hydraulic brake. They also make this clever chain catcher that appears to have independent derailleur fixing/catcher adjustment. Photo: Nick Legan

Unlike his teammates, Voeckler has custom paint, though it’s very subtle. This French rooster is a source of pride for many Gallic riders, especially the former French national champ, Voeckler. Photo: Nick Legan
