No one is using rigs any more.

They're units now. As in, "check my sick unit, just dropped."

Do try and keep up.

Also...functional bikes, but...

*voms*

Plenty of Salsa Cuthroats in that montage..

I looked the idea of the TD but wonder if they’d provide some 5* Hotels and secure bike parking..

And Rig?

What an odd name for a bike.

Rigs... Units..... Pah, who cares, just words.

An amazing experience, 3 weeks, give or take, in the saddle..... The sights must be incredible.

@bikebouy - that was my thought, then again the Cutthroat was designed for the TDR so no surprise so many use it. [url= http://www.gregorymay.ie/?p=2998 ]Greg May[/url] who posts on here used one a couple of years ago

However the most impressive is this one:

belonging to Ashley Benns who became the first person to do a quadruple TDR in one go 😯 Oh, he's from Manchester - the English one.

I’m sure there are some lovely bikes there, just wish I could see them, not buried in luggage...

Thought a Jones Plus might have made the start line.

That's not all the starting line up by any means, probably 1/4 to 1/3 of those on the Grand Depart.
