A decade apart: How far have Tour de France bikes come?
Briefly

Pro bike design has gone through multiple evolutions since 2014, positioning modern race bikes in a different class with advancements in components and technologies.
In 2014, Nibali rode to victory on an S-Works Tarmac SL5 with rim brakes, a Campagnolo Super Record mechanical groupset, and 22mm tubular tyres, a setup vastly different from current standards.
