Team Sky are renowned for their attention to the little details, and this is no more apparent in the stem size - Thomas runs a 121mm PRO stem - fitted quite literally to the millimetre.
Shifting comes from a full Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset, with Shimano also providing their full range of wheels, with Dura-Ace pedals to boot.
Topping things off, we have a Fizik saddle - Thomas goes for a nicely padded Arione.
The power meter comes from Stages. Team Sky are the only team in the WorldTour so far to use the left-crank based system.

If you’re new to cycling, heading out onto busy, open roads can feel a little daunting, but we're here to help! In this video, Manon shares her top cycling tips that will help you handle traffic and improve your confidence navigating the roads!
Cyclists are known for their lean physiques. To some outsiders, they might appear "skinny" and "weak", and while we know that this isn’t the case, Dan & Si still tackle the debate head-on! In this week's show they dive into whether a cyclist's physique is truly the pinnacle of fitness ...or not!
If you were given £2,000 to buy any bike you want, what would you do? Here at GCN, we'd almost certainly go for a used bike.
Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
