Here\u2019s our run-down of the bikes and components that the 18 men\u2019s WorldTour teams are using in 2022.<\/p>\n

Sponsor changes haven\u2019t been huge since last year, although the demise of Qhubeka Assos has dropped BMC down to one team and resulted in Rotor moving its parts to Israel-Premier Tech, with Hunt wheels disappearing from the WorldTour altogether.<\/p>\n

Other than that, the only team to change bike sponsors since last year has been Team BikeExchange-Jayco, who this year are on Giant bikes.<\/p>\n

Last year, Giant wasn\u2019t represented on the WorldTour, where it had been a presence since 1997, but it\u2019s back with a vengeance, with Giant or its Cadex brand supplying everything but the gears and pedals on BikeExchange-Jayco\u2019s bikes.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s bounced Bianchi \u2013 another stalwart of the professional peloton, with its first competitive win as long ago as 1899 \u2013 from top-tier racing.<\/p>\n

The only bike brand sponsoring two teams this year is Specialized, which continues its association with Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl, last year\u2019s top-ranked team, and Bora-Hansgrohe.<\/p>\n
