SD Worx Protime\u2019s Lorena Wiebes has a custom Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8, honouring her lead in the points classification at the Tour de France Femmes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, Wiebes has secured two stage wins at the Tour de France Femmes<\/a> back-to-back on stages 3 and 4, where she pipped Dutch compatriot Marianne Vos on both occasions. She now leads the points classification with 208 points. Vos is in second place with 178.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wiebes, who is European champion and won the points classification in the Giro d\u2019Italia, has described 2025 as her \u201cbest season to date\u201d, which a Tour de France jersey<\/a> will only improve.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Wiebes had an S-Works Tarmac SL8 decked out in the European champion colours for Paris\u2013Roubaix Femmes<\/a>, her green bike for the Tour de France Femmes sticks with a pattern we\u2019ve seen across Specialized bikes at the men\u2019s and women\u2019s Tours de France.<\/p>\n

As with Kim Le Court\u2019s yellow Tour de France Femmes bike<\/a> and Florian Lipowitz\u2019s men\u2019s Tour bike, Wiebes\u2019 green machine has a chequered pattern to represent the chequered flag used at races.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Part of Wiebes’ best season to date was her win at Gent-Wevelgem in March. This was the 26-year-old\u2019s 100th professional victory, which is marked on the S-Works Tarmac SL8<\/a>\u2019s top tube with a gold graphic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SRAM and Roval components\u00a0

Another difference between Wiebes’ Paris-Roubaix Femmes and Tour de France Femmes bikes is the choice of groupset.<\/p>\n

While Wiebes opted for a 1x drivetrain<\/a> at the Hell of the North, her green bike is set up with a 2x SRAM Red groupset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flat and fast terrain of Paris\u2013Roubaix justifies the use of a single chainring, but clearly Wiebes wants a wider range of gears for the hilly and mountainous terrain of the Tour de France Femmes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can also see that Wiebes has sprint shifters on the inside of her Roval cockpit, which will help with those critical gear changes at the sharp end of the racing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wiebes is also using special Time Xpro 10 pedals. These appear to have the same green touches as the ones Jonathan Milan had on his green Trek Madone SLR<\/a> in the men\u2019s race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wiebes is also running Roval\u2019s new CLX wheels<\/a>, which launched just before the men\u2019s Tour de France.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like Le Court, she is using Specialized Turbo Cotton TLR tyres. These tyres launched over a decade ago and are among the oldest tech used in the peloton<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
