pro — Rider stickers are very low-key for Europcar. They actually look like Sharpie art until you get close and see that they are indeed decals. Photo: Nick Legan

pro — 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

pro — 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

pro — 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

pro — Campagnolo Record shifters, Deda bars and stem and a Sigma (wired!) computer make up Voeckler’s cockpit. Photo: Nick Legan

pro — 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
