Pro Bike: Bauke Mollema's Giant Propel Advanced SL0

Giant had only eight days to get newly painted bikes in the hands of Belkin's top riders following its last-minute sponsor change, swapping from Blanco to Belkin just a week before the Tour. Bauke Mollema, who sits in second place, 2:28 back, has both this Propel, Giant's aero road frame, and a non-aero TCR available to him at this Tour. For Saturday's rolling stage, which featured seven categorized climbs but nothing over a Cat 3, Mollema went with the aero Propel and low-profile Shimano C35 wheels, keeping the total package right at the UCI's 6.8kg weight limit.
