Welkom bij Fiets de Podcast, aflevering 111. Vandaag schuift er weer een insider uit de fietsenwereld bij ons aan: Geert Donkers. Oprichter van DuHo Sports en Country Manager Benelux van Pinarello. Een man die al jarenlang midden in de wereld van sportieve fietsen en onderdelen zit en precies weet wat er speelt; van productontwikkeling tot markttrends, en van dealer tot fietser. We duiken in de ontwikkelingen in de fietsenbranche, bespreken wat de gemiddelde fietser écht belangrijk vindt… en wat misschien wel complete onzin is! En natuurlijk kunnen we niet om het iconische merk Pinarello heen. Maar eerst: wie is eigenlijk de man achter al die merken? En mijn naam is Herman van Tilburg, veel luisterplezier!
We dug into the data to find out. After a 20-minute head-to-head test between a modern aero setup and a classic steel bike, the results were staggering: The aero setup was 30% more efficient, requiring just 221 watts to outpace a rider pushing 288 watts. In this episode, the Velo tech team breaks down the physics of why "Weight Weenie" upgrades fail where aerodynamics succeed, and how you can find these same "free" watts on your next ride. Also in this episode: The Vingegaard Incident: A deep dive into Jonas Vingegaard's recent crash in Spain involving a "stalker" fan and the reality of pro/fan interactions on open roads. Gravel Suspension Shootout: Is the Lauf leaf-spring fork actually better than the Cane Creek Invert? We answer listener Q&A about upgrading the Salsa Cutthroat. The Leadville Ban: The crew debates LifeTime's decision to ban drop bars at the Leadville Trail 100 MTB. Tech Hot Takes: A defense of the critical take on Pinarello's new Grevil MX mountain bike conversion. Pro Encounters: Lisa and Levy share their own awkward moments with pros in Girona and F1 drivers.

Just a few hours after winning Gravel Nationals, Bradyn Lange sat down with Payson at the house they were sharing in the lead-up to the race for a wide-ranging conversation about the event and all the things that had to fall into place to get him there. Bradyn has always identified more as a mountain biker than a gravel racer, but after struggling to find sponsors and snagging a rogue 4th place at Big Sugar in 2021, he managed to secure a sponsorship from Pinarello and a place in the 2022 Grand Prix. That season, he lived out of his van and worked multiple part-time jobs, and still managed to rack up some stand-out results, including the win at Chequamegon. In this conversation, Bradyn tells Payson about this phase of his life, as well as his unlikely win at Nationals, in which he crashed, got blocked by junior riders, broke his cleat, and missed the breakaway, all before launching to the front and winning solo. He also talks about his pivotal training camp with Orange Seal Academy last month, the financial gambles he took this season in the hopes of getting better results, and his lucky Blarney Stone.Instagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

The boys catch up fresh off their post-Tour of Britain hangovers and take a look back over an emotional week across the country. We get a look behind the curtain at how the Welsh took on G's big celebration. Do they both remember getting home? Do they know the words to Cwm Rhondda? We'll let you be the judge. G talks us through his emotions on the final race day of his career, and how fighting back tears is hard enough without having to ride 130km and finish in his hometown. There's also some Vuelta chat in there: does the red jersey look less nailed-on for Jonas now?

The boys have made it to Wales. God's country. And they're ready to tackle the infamous Tumble tomorrow. The final Lloyds Tour of Britain stage on English soil saw the race finish atop Burton Dasset Country Park and saw the first battle of the climbers this race. Young Romain Gregoire took the day and the race lead. Can he keep it on The Tumble? For G, there was plenty of food-based gifts which he's keeping from Luke, some excellent Welsh Cakes deserving of our Lloyds Upstaged award, andd over in the Vuelta Joao Almeida did more than enough to take our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day. Enjoy the final two stages - and the boys will be back to talk about it on Monday.

We had a British winner at the Lloyds Tour of Britain today - and it angered G! Much to Luke's amusement. 20-year-olds shouldn't have 12 wins in a pro season according to G, but Brennan is putting on a show this year. Can he win the whole race? Luke thinks he might just do exactly that. Elsewhere, Luke's been causing crashes, G's nearly had his arm ripped off, and we're wrapping him in Watts Occurring cotton wool until Cardiff. Over in the Vuelta, Juan Ayuso is ignoring absolutely every thing going on around him to win again... but the boys picked someone else for their Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day. And in the UK, a young lad wouldn't let G sign his beautiful design... incase he ruined it. That attitude was more than enough to win our Lloyds Upstaged prize. See you tomorrow!

Lloyds Tour of Britain day two is in the books and it was another big, dominant sprint win for Olav Kooij. Behind the scenes, G was accusing Luke of attacking INEOS during a puncture while Luke was giving all his tactics away to Visma Lease-a-Bike. Both those stories will make sense when you listen. Brilliantly as well, the lads are sharing a hotel tonight - so they were able to pod in the same room! That does't happen very often. There's some brilliant fan stories in Lloyds Upstaged plus a special shout out to our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day Tom Pidcock after a hectic day at the Vuelta. See you tomorrow!

There's been a lot of build up to G's final race and, well, he nearly missed it. A plane mechanical and a thunder storm conspired to stop him travelling to Suffolk until 1am last night, but he got there. Thank the lord for that. We'd have had to rip up some big old Watts Occurring plans. Anyway, he rolled out from Woodbridge this morning resplendent in his new INEOS jersey aboard his stunning special edition Pinarello DOGMA F and the Lloyds Tour of Britain was underway. Luke was in the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team car calling the shots and his boy Tord Gudmestad nearly pulled off a brilliant stage win. He's also an excellent songwriter. You'll have to listen for that story. There was some incredible fans on the roadside and the boys went through some of their favourites in our new feature Lloyds Upstaged. Bit of Vuelta chat and that's your lot. We will see you tomorrow.

Manon Lloyd got the inside scoop on what it's like to receive such an honour from Princess Anne.

Meanwhile, on the road, it's the Time Trial that continues to tease future tech trends. Join Ronan Mc Laughlin, Dave Rome, and Alex Hunt as they discuss these new sightings.Outside of racing, you'll also hear the geeks talk about a revised scoring system from the helmet test lab of Virginia Tech.

Unbound has become the epicenter for not just the latest gravel bike tech but also some of the most interesting equipment choices of the year. Alvin Holbrook spent the week in Emporia, Kansas, tracking the race and also tracking down prototype bikes from Orbea, Pinarello, and Specialized. He also found Lachlan Morton's Cannondale Topstone with its water-carrying Tailfin rack and custom front bag, some unreleased rubber from Pirelli, and what most of us would consider a reverse tire set-up that ended up winning the race.
We ask a pro mechanic who races at a domestic level what bike he intends to buy in 2025. What are the biggest issues facing home mechanics and Chris gives us a Peaks Challenge wrap up.

Brian Park and Sarah sat down with Federico Sbrissa, Pinarello's Chief Marketing Officer and Federico Meneghetti, the R&D Engineer on the mountain bike project just after Tom Pidcock took the win at the Nove Mesto World Cup at the end of May. We talked about why Pinarello decided to make a mountain bike after a decade without one, how their prototype mountain bike came to win a World Cup race just four months after the project was started, and what's next for Pinarello in the mountain bike space. We also go into a lot of detail about the suspension, geometry and layup of the Dogma XC cross-country mountain bike.
