Team bike news and announcements look to be starting to come thick and fast now as Tudor Pro Cycling announces their 2024 race bike.
We covered the parting ways of AG2R Citroën and BMC last week. The French team will cease to race on BMC bikes next year, and this week announced a move to Van Rysel bikes and equipment for the 2024 season.
Almost immediately after that news broke, Tudor Pro Cycling - the UCI Pro Team owned by Fabian Cancellara - announced it will be racing on the BMC Teammachine R, the new bike developed by BMC and RedBull Advanced Technologies, in 2024.
The bike was officially launched in October, although we spotted it in prototype form a few times over the course of this year, the first of which was at the Critérium du Dauphiné. You can read our in-depth review of the bike from when we tested it at the US launch in late October.

The team has already raced - and won - on the TeamMachine R this year, with Arvid De Kleijn winning a stage of the Deutschland Tour aboard the machine in August. Check out the video below to watch a new team bike in the team's special colourway being assembled at the team's smart-looking service course in Sursee, Switzerland.
The mechanic in the video uses an Abbey Tools Decade chain tool and Feedback Sports hex keys, two tools we featured in our Premium Tools deal hub yesterday if you are a keen home mechanic.

Tom joined the Cyclingnews team in late 2022 as a tech writer. Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn’t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it’s made of.
He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport's biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Alberto Contador. He's also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.
