Training data has become a crucial component of marginal gains in professional cycling, and with this, comes the use of power meters.

Here we round up what team is riding what, and point out a few custom touches spotted at the 2015 Tour Down Under.

SRM SRM reduced its team sponsorship in 2014 , but has returned as a sponsor for 2015. It’s the undoubted leader of the pack, and is the most popular power meter brand among the professionals, even when it’s not actually sponsoring the team.

SRM is not the lightest nor most feature-packed unit on the market, but its reputation for data accuracy makes it the benchmark. It’s this reliable and accurate data that proves every other ‘feature’ is secondary at this level.

The following teams are sponsored by and riding SRM for 2015:

BMC Racing Team Trek Factory Racing Orica-GreenEdge Astana Pro Team Lotto-Soudal Tinkoff-Saxo The following teams are not official partners, but are using SRM:

FDJ.fr Katusha IAM Cycling Cannondale-Garmin (currently during training) Pioneer The Giant-Alpecin team will be joining LottoNL-Jumbo in using Pioneer power meters and computers in 2015. Pioneer is now in its official second year within the WorldTour and has been quick to make its mark with its Shimano Dura-Ace crank compatibility, independent leg measurement and low weight.

Darren Harper of Pioneer Australia told BikeRadar that custom colours on the SGX-CA500 computers are easy to produce, as it’s just a skin, rather than a whole plastic body. The same can be said for the right-crank mounted power meter, where the cover is easily produced in any colour.

In other news – just in time for the Tour Down Under – Pioneer head units will now work with Shimano’s Di2 D-Fly ANT+ attachment. This allows computer screen control straight from the hidden buttons found at the top of Shimano 9070 Dura-Ace Di2 shifters.

Stages Sky is the only team in the WorldTour to use the left-crankarm mounted Stages power meter. For 2015, Team Sky will no longer have special ‘team-issue’ blue pods, rather just the standard black production models.

While on the topic of Sky and marginal gains, the team is also using the latest K-Edge Aero Garmin mount. According to Tim from K-Edge, Sky’s wind tunnel testing showed there was further room for improvement in the out-in-front computer mount.

The new mount features a smoother profile underneath, a shorter gap to the stem faceplate and a closer fit to the stem. ‘Slam that stem’ was the theme of 2014, perhaps ‘slam that Garmin’ is 2015’s?

For 2015, SRAM’s – and therefore Quarq’s – presence is seen more strongly within pro-continental and women’s professional cycling. For example, Drapac was also using Quarq power meters at the Tour Down Under.

Power2Max Movistar and now Ettix-Quickstep are officially partnered with the German chainring-spider based crank system from Power2Max. However, Lampre-Merida were also seen riding this system.

Campagnolo-sponsored Movistar uses the Power2Max Type S Campagnolo 11-speed crank. This crank isn’t branded with the usual Campagnolo model names because it’s slightly different, much like SRM’s Shimano 11-speed crank , which is the closest equivalent to Dura-Ace.

Ettix-QuickStep is riding FSA carbon cranks and chainrings with Power2Max power meter spider, and Shimano Dura-Ace for the rest of the build. This Shimano setup is currently just filler – the team is rumoured to be moving to an upcoming FSA groupset later in the year.

Garmin Garmin’s Vector pedals appear only on the bikes of Cannondale-Garmin, and even then, not all riders are seen using the twin pedal-based system.
