Most of the big favourites for the Tour de France are in action at the Criterium du Dauphiné, and the time trial is a great opportunity for having a look at the equipment that can shape not only this race, but also the Tour as well.

We discuss the impact that new technology has on the results. For example Chris Froome has the latest Pinarello at his disposal -- one of only three riders to do so -- whereas another Pinarello sponsored rider, Alessandro Valverde doesn't. How much of an advantage is it really?

We also look at what this means for us, the consumers. Which bikes should we look at, considering the amazing claims promised by the manufacturers, how should we approach things?

This interview is a breath of fresh air blowing through the hype that surrounds wind tunnel testing.
