I got exclusive access to Tadej Pogačar’s actual race bike at Colnago HQ in Cambiago, Italy — and found something on the bike that nobody has talked about. This is the Colnago Y1Rs he rode at Milan-San Remo 2025 — world champion colorway, 1x drivetrain, and crash damage still on it. Full bike check and every spec.
This is as close as you’ll get to a pro WorldTour race bike without being on the team.

Cranks: 165mm
Chain guide: Custom K-Edge with UAE Team Emirates logos
Wheels: Enve 6.7 with Innerdrive Pro hub

The Poggio descent is where Milan-San Remo is won and lost. Most riders would have abandoned. Tadej descended it on a front wheel that was coming apart. Would you have? 👇
Счастливчик
Early gang!!
The best rider in the world riding a 12 speed 1x set up should really open everyone's eyes. Makes me feel better about my 11 speed 1x set up with a bigger range cassette and smaller chainring. I am considering changing to a bigger chainring if my training goes as planned this season.
Colnago fan boy now? 😉 (I have 2 Colnago.)
You found the motor?
thank you for this content !
Did people point at you and laugh 🤣 looks like a 5 year olds drawing of a bike
Great content, keep it coming!
"and a custom printed computer mount that saves 1 Watt at 50 kp/h" 😂😂
With all of that damage his win was even more impressive than it was… 🍻
Great content! 👏🏻🤍
Way cool bike, but, its not the TDF bike so keeping it with all the dirt and sweat etc is way OTT
He’s natural …. not at all EPO and stronger than Lance 10x
Decsending like he did on that wheel? Fuck **THAT**. Insanity.
Nice vid.
Love this content and the Colnago. Subscribed!
Anyone who has ridden bmx or mountain is not concerned by that wheel, crack in the frame however. No disrespect to TP he is the goat
Intriguingly, the Y1RS seems to be marked down a few graticules vs its competitors whether out and out aero or aero/all rounders from a ride feel, handling or ergonomics point of view. If you have the means to procure only one bike, with the Y1RS being one contender, would you be comfortable opting for that bike? It’s a genuinely interesting and complex question. Would you trade performance in some areas on the one hand versus the lore and the zeitgeist attached to the bike and to Pogacar that the Y1RS represents? Or would you select something that in a head to head comparison is lighter, or more planted on ~3000 feet descents, tracks bends better, has better tire clearance (future proofing) etc?
That front wheel is pretty crazy. But yesterday I had the same issue on my bike after a crash, and at first I didn't even noticed it. Its al due to changed spoke tension
Bicycle racing is a joke. They litteraly hide electric engines in the bikes lol
I wouldn't ride that thing down my street let alone the Poggio.
100% agree, this bike belong to be on display somewhere!
alli know is that im gonna get the frame and folk handlebar package and build from there
😅 …come on man, …its just bike racing…no need to keep hyping this…unless Colnago is given all of us discount ….I see just another bike. 🥱👍
His race suit sold for 95K, imagine what the bike would cost
Descending with that front wheel 😳
Been in love with cycling and its history since the 80s. Tadej is so far beyond anything i thought id see as a cyclist he reminds me more of coppi than merckx to be honest. Modernly he transcends cycling and reminds me of seeing senna race as a kid.
Even young i knew i wouldn't see that again same feeling seeing Jordan and maradona/messi. This is special. You can't explain to people just how crazy its for a cyclist to compete in sprints in roubaix while winning all the monuments and hardest summit finishes in tour.
Souplesse, bike handling, strength, mentality and class now with maturity and poise to use his team. Hex ik his prime right now and could be for next 4 years. Olympics, roubaix, and Vuelta are really the only bogeys out there for tadej. Still in 20s its just incredible again its senna like. You could see his lack of bodyweight working against him in every corner at roubaix same as last year against vdp the fact hes just so strong and able to ride such a tempo forever was like watching f1 with the different characteristics. If he didn't have tour GC and could bulk up hed be the most incredible racer. Its like a light car on the snow being thet light on the cobblestone it's not supposed to even be possible. The wind and exposure as well because it's flat the bodyweight creates its own momentum and he must push on pedals that much more because he can't carry the momentum through the corners like bigger guys. Musseuw famous quote about having big posterior was key to being able to ride the cobbles. Its completely true.
Do you talk to people with this repetitive/predictable tone? I seriously doubt it because it isn’t normal or natural. It is the most annoying thing about your channel.
Can't believe they let you touch it!
Some weekend warriors got some new gear to buy 😂
Good job
Why didn’t he ride another bike instead of crashed one?
Interesting to see what they've done to the rear rim on the 6.7s Chris given the UCI depth ruling. Can make out a 65mm label on the rear wheel at circa 0:41 👀😉😎
Does a buckled wheel actually means you travel further over a long dustance, or is it the same distance?, I burn my head out thinking about this
put that shit in a museum as is
how lucky. A piece of cycling history, bike of the goat when he won MSR.
dfasd
Shitmano ruins this bike.
Livery not colorway you re re
You mean a person can just walk in and say, “I want Tadej’s bike to look at” and they wheel it outside?
what is the logic behind have the shifters tilted inwards?
A lot of people noticed that.
