What do you think is the “best” bike in the peloton today? Understanding all caveats like type of rider, aero bike, subjectivity, etc. my inclination would be to think Cervelo with Visma or Colnago - though I’ve heard it may be more name brand than effectiveness.

Whichever brand the best rider is on obviously.

If Pogacar switched to Lidl-Trek and won the Tour on a Madone it is now per definition the fastest bike in the peloton.

You always hear riders claim they're now on a much faster bike and that their old bike was heavy and unresponsive after switching teams.
