Jesse heads to the wind tunnel and tests cheap wheels and wide tyres, we break down the results. The UCI have their sights on banning more things, while SRAM and Cervelo launch new products.

Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss for the final instalment of their pre-Tour de France 'attitude camp'. In this episode they recap the final major preparation race, the Tour de Suisse where UAE Team Emirates – who else? – took the overall honours. But while João Almeida's overall victory had a feeling of inevitability about it as soon as he reached the midway checkpoint in the final time trial, the week was perhaps more revealing about the two riders who joined him on the podium. We hear from third-placed Oscar Onley, who won a stage and put together the best stage race performance of his career as he prepares to head to the Tour for Picnic Post NL. And we discuss Kevin Vauquelin's credentials as a potential star for the home nation at the Tour. He won a stage during the opening weekend in Italy last week and he very nearly delivered a huge result for an Arkea-B&B Hotels team that has been struggling in the World Tour this season. There's a recap of the other races, including two events on the calendar in Copenhagen and Andorra, a brush with the UCI rules and analysis of Tadej Pogačar's foray into the world of children's books with his partner Urška Žigart. Next up – our XL Tour de France Preview episode will be out in the middle of next week.  EPISODE SPONSORS NordVPN Get NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.

Foi com emoção, sim! Mas foi também com grande superioridade que o português João Almeida (UAE) venceu o Tour da Suíça. Três vitórias de etapa e mais uma importante volta na conta do gajo. Agora é ajudar Pogacar no Tour e - quem sabe - brigar por um pódio. Afinal, João Almeida está entre os melhores voltistas da atualidade. Papo para o RADIO dessa semana que traz também a UAE brilhando no Baloise Belgium Tour, Merlier e Wiebes voado, Giro Next Gen, MTB, UCI sendo UCI e muito mais.Neste domingo com um convidado especial: Pedro Barbosa, já colocando a Gregario no clima do L'Étape Rio 2025.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin discuss João Almeida's ongoing methodical comeback at the Tour de Suisse to set himself up for a full recovery from a disastrous opening stage, before breaking down what it means for UAE's overall strength at the Tour de France. They also touch on Quinn Simmons' impressive and emotional win on Stage 3, before Johan gives his frank opinions on the UCI's recent decisions regarding maximum-allowed gear ratios and the ethics commission investigating Dries De Bondt's actions on the Colle delle Finestre on Stage 20 of the Giro d'Italia.

TRP's new Vistar drivetrain combines a 12-speed cassette with a Classified internally geared hub to give you the benefits of a front derailleur without the hassle and complication, but does it work in the real world? Senior Tech Editor Josh Ross has spent months using it and explains the benefits, drawbacks, and how the hybrid 1X system compares to a traditional drivetrain. Josh has also been riding the new SRAM Force and Rival drivetrains that aim to bring the performance of Red down to a lower price point; he describes the differences between each group and tells Levy why Force is the answer. Cervelo also just released their Aspero-5 gravel race bike that trades tire clearance and comfort for pure aero-focused speed, which is the opposite approach that we're seeing with most new designs. Alvin has been testing the fresh Aspero and explains why this new "gravel bike" might be the ideal all-road machine for many riders. Lastly, the crew debates the UCI's strange new tech mandates that limit handlebar width, fork leg geometry, rim height, and aero helmets, all of which are intended to slow racers down and increase safety. But are yet more rules really the answer, and how do the UCI's decisions affect what consumers can purchase?  For your consideration: TRP Vistar with Classified Stacks up to the Big Groupset Players, but There's a Catch SRAM Force AXS First Ride: RED Gets a Discount SRAM Rival AXS XPLR First Ride: 13-Speed Gets Cheaper First Ride: Cervelo Áspero-5 Is a Fast Gravel Bike That Might Just Replace Your Road Bike New UCI Gear Rules Incoming: Rim Height Limits, Minimum Bar Widths, and a Tech Fraud Crackdown

Caroline Livesey is an adventurer, extreme triathlete, ultracyclist, elite gravel cyclist and triathlon and life coach.  Caroline started her journey into triathlon while serving with the Royal Engineers in the British Army. After 10 years service she left as a Major in 2013 and pursued a career as a professional triathlete (while working full time as a geotechnical design consultant), originally in Ironman events.  In 2019 circumstances conspired to throw her into her first extreme triathlon, Canadaman XTRI. Winning this event was the catalyst for her to work on her mindset and physical adaptations to take on the gruelling climate conditions which are typical for the Extreme Triathlons such as Norseman and Celtman. She has since won numerous extreme events, and has just returned from winning Patagonman in Chile for the second time.  Caroline is also an elite gravel cyclist, competing for Team GB at the last two World Championships (where she thinks she was the oldest on the start line by some 20 years). She loves single day UCI gravel races but also ultra distance, and has competed at Badlands (3rd), finished Transcordilleras (Colombia), and completed coast-to-coast across Costa Rica in less than two days. She completed the 1000km Transcordilleras, an 8-day stage race, in February this year. Caroline's husband Mark is a documentary / film maker and they make films about their adventures (YouTube, Amazon Prime - The Brick Session). Their purpose is to provide information and inspiration to others so that they might break down their own false beliefs to take on their own challenges.  Caroline and Mark have founded Peak Education Nepal - a charity bringing education to the children of poor families in Nepal who cannot afford to go to school. They became involved in this while in Nepal for an event in 2022, and plan to go back this year to develop the charity and do another mountain trail running adventure.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

The UCI has announced sweeping controversial changes to its technical regulation, including new limits on handlebar width, helmets and tyre size.  Due to take effect from 2026, officials say the rules are designed to level the playing field and ensure “sporting fairness”, but the response from riders and industry figures has been mixed. In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, digital editor Jack Luke and senior tech writer Simon Von Bromley explain the key details of the changes, and how the experts and racers have reacted to the changes. https://www.bikeradar.com/news/uci-tech-rules-2026 https://www.bikeradar.com/features/tech/uci-handlebar-width-rules-2026 https://www.bikeradar.com/features/tech/uci-handlebar-width-womens-impact https://www.bikeradar.com/news/uci-rejects-one-cycling Learn more about your ad choices.

Esta semana nos hemos retrasado un poco en lanzar el podcast porque había dos novedades de las que teníamos que hablar sí o sí, los nuevos grupos Di2 de Shimano para MTB y la renovación de los Force y Rival de SRAM y la llegada de versiones XPLR para gravel. Pero es que, además, al final la semana ha quedado muy llena de novedades. Empezamos con el anuncio por parte de Shimano de dos nuevos grupos Di2 para MTB: el nuevo Deore XT M8200 y el Deore M6200, ambos electrónicos e inalámbricos que heredan las tecnologías que vimos hace poco en el XTR. En el artículo y el podcast te contamos todos los detalles y los precios. Para SRAM el 1x13 en gravel gana terreno con sus nuevas versiones XPLR de los grupos Force y Rival AXS, que además también heredan el diseño y tecnologías del tope de gama Red. Pero no terminamos ahí con las transmisiones, TRP ha presentado junto a Classified el Powershift, un grupo electrónico e inalámbrico que ofrece hasta 1x16 velocidades. Por su parte, Cervélo ha desvelado la nueva Áspero-5, una “Gravel Race” en toda regla que nos recuerda a la S-5 de carretera y que nace con una mejora de la aerodinámica impresionante (hasta 37 vatios más rápida), más ligera que la anterior, y con mayor integración de elementos. Como os decía, no contentos con esto, la semana ha estado cargada de actualidad, así que no tejamos de lado la llegada de Brembo al MTB de manos del equipo Specialized Gravity. O la última actualización del Fazua Ride 60 que, en realidad, puede no ser la que esperaban los usuarios de este sistema. Tampoco las nuevas ruedas “tope de gama” que Oquo ha presentado, la nueva mini bomba electríca Trek Air Rush, las novedades que nos ha presentado Schwalbe o los nuevos kits de mechas de X-Sauce para sellar agujeros que el Tubeless no puede. Por último, la UCI ha anunciado una nueva serie de medidas que afectan a las medidas (valga la redundancia) de los manillares, de la horquilla y los tirantes, perfiles de las ruedas, a los tipos de cascos... y lo analizamos bajo una perspectiva que seguramente te sorprenda.

Join Discourse for moreDiscourse is the best Sports Science community on the internet, and yes we are biased. But if you want to see for yourself, membership is a monthly pledge away, and then you too can gain access to opinion, insight and analysis from The Real Science of Sport army!Show notesThis week in Spotlight, we kick of with a Discourse Digest exploring the UCI's equipment rules — most notably, 40cm minimum handlebar width. It may seem like a technical tweak, but the implications are significant: many female cyclists will now have to widen their bars to comply, sparking criticism that the rule is not only arbitrary but discriminates against women. We dig into what it says about decision-making at the UCI, and how governance in the sport appears to be crying out for systematic, deliberate and openly communicated processes.In Listener Lens (11:56), we tackle a great Discourse question from Liam, a coach working with a 13-year-old female runner whose progress has stalled. We explore why this happens to young athletes, especially girls, and how the short-term incentives we create in youth sports cause challenges for the most well-intentioned coaches and parents. It's a conversation about patience, perspective, and reframing our expectations to accept that sporting development is very rarely linear.Then, in a new Ross Replies segment (29:20), a question from Nicol on how the body switches from fat to carbs during exercise opens the door to a deep dive into metabolic regulation. We break down what controls fuel selection during exercise, and why a new paradigm has emerged: instead of trying to promote fat oxidation to spare carbohydrates, elite athletes are now trying to minimize it. Why? To enhance performance by maximizing oxidation efficiency with carbs.In Center Stage 51:57), we discuss some of the tech details that have emerged in support of Faith Kipyegon's sub-4:00 mile attempt, and wonder what the quiet collapse of the Grand Slam Track series means for the sport? And finally (64:54) Gareth notes that Mondo Duplantis' pole vault dominance shows no signs of abating, leading us to wonder why some dominance is lauded, while others are doubted, and to reflect on huge sporting mismatches.LinksArticle on the UCI's handlebar decisionPaper from Norway comparing how boys and girls improve in athletic events during the teenage yearsThe article that shows how rare it is to be top 100 ranked at 18, 20 and as an adult, and that most successful adults aren't at the same level as juniorsArticle covering fundamentals of adolescent development and its implications for sportHow the body shifts from fat to carbs (Discourse member access only)Sean Ingle described some of the tech Nike is putting into the sub-4 mile attempt Hosted on Acast.

Well, some of the knee-jerk predictions made last Friday didn't last very long, did they? Tadej Pogačar showed everyone who's boss at the Dauphine, and we wait with baited breath to see if he somehow messed something up going into the Tour de France. Caley's back from a successful foray into lobstering and is joined by Jonny and Kit to break down the weekend's racing. Then the three turn their attention to the other big story from the weekend, an incoming ban on a number of go-faster gear, including narrow handlebars. Has the UCI even lost Caley on this one, a man who thoroughly hates the narrow bar trend? Seems so.

This episode was originally released for Friends of the Podcast subscribers earlier this week. However, on Thursday the UCI confirmed the calendars for the men's and women's World Tours for the next three-year cycle and there was no place on it for the One Cycling project, effectively kicking it into the long grass if not killing it completely. Much of the second half of the episode was about where the sport goes from here, including Jonathan's hope that the One Cycling project might finally give some coherence to the professional sport's structure. Jonathan asked if we could make this conversation available more widely and so, for a limited time, it will be on our free feed, with our thanks to our Friends of the Podcast subscribers who help to fund our coverage. Jonathan Vaughters is the general manager of the EF Education-Easy Post team and in this conversation with Lionel Birnie, he begins by talking about the conclusion to the Giro d'Italia. Richard Carparaz finished third overall after that thrilling stage over the Colle delle Finestre but Jonathan explains the tactics were designed with only victory in mind. From there, it's a freewheeling discussion about the state of pro cycling in 2025. Is Tadej Pogačar's dominance good for the sport, the One Cycling project, the Netflix effect, even the possibility of AI's influence on racing.

Het Critérium du Dauphiné is deze week een mooie graadmeter richting de komende Tour de France. Dit weekend vindt de ontknoping plaats en zullen we meer weten over hoe Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard en Remco Evenepoel ervoor staan. En laat Mathieu van der Poel in zijn kaarten kijken? Je hoort het in de WielerFlits Podcast! Voordat onze mannen de Franse rittenkoers aansnijden, beginnen ze met opmerkelijk nieuws van de UCI. Daarvoor schuift ook Raymond aan bij Maxim en Youri. De internationale wielerbond heeft - na stemming in de Professional Cycling Council - namelijk het ONE Cycling-project voorlopig afgeschoten. Welke gevolgen dit heeft voor het plan van onder andere Richard Plugge, bespreken onze verslaggevers in het eerste deel van de podcast.Daarna gaan ze snel over naar de Dauphiné. Met de bergetappes van dit weekend op komst is er nog niet heel veel te zeggen, maar toch hebben we een aantal voortekenen gezien. Volgens Raymond is de orde tussen ronderenner Vingegaard en alleskunner Pogačar hersteld na de gebrekkige voorbereiding van de Deen vorig jaar. Youri heeft dan weer een erg goede Evenepoel gezien, maar blessures spelen zijn Tour-ploeg vooralsnog parten.Daarna passeert ook Mathieu van der Poel de revue. Het lijkt erop dat hij het puntenklassement in de Dauphiné gaat winnen, maar die groene trui lonkt ook naar hem in de Tour. Youri analyseert waarom de kans aannemelijk is dat MVDP een grote kanshebber voor het groen is. Maxim haalt daarna de start van de Ronde van Zwitserland aan (zondag) en waarom ook die koers de moeite waard is om te gaan volgen.

The second round of the 2025 World Cup from Loudenvielle, France, produced some of the fastest racing we've seen in recent memory and was (somehow) filled with more funny drama than the first round in Poland. But it turns out a dry, straight track makes for iconic Hail Mary race runs, and the UCI/Warner Bros/Discovery not knowing how to enforce their own rules makes for good podcasting banter. We had fun this week chatting about the ongoing #polegate disputes, Dak's panic after watching racing from the sideline and rushed last-minute prep before Leogang, the Henry Keifer situation, the Stan Nisbet situation, Ronan showing why we ride with tires on our rims, track safety and the need for more turns, and most importantly, the tightness of riding pants. We have been treated to some iconic racing thus far this season, and Leogang this weekend will surely be exciting. Now let's just hope our co-host-extrodinare can make it past Q2! 0:13 - The Dak Update3:10 - Dak's panic from watching people ride in Loudenvielle6:05 - UCI trying to copy our post-race show9:05 - More insight into Dak's prep before Leogang14:13 - Has the field gotten faster this year?16:30 - #polegate again17:50 - Henry Keifer's start hut pit stop19:39 - Stan Nisbet stopped from racing24:15 - Ronan doesn't need tires.

Randy and Dean Warren talk about all things cycling. Randy is preparing to race the 200 mile Unbound gravel race in Kansas the end of May 2025. Randy and Dean talk about the races in the United States including the national championships and mention the UCI event that took place in New York City. American mountain bike star Chris Blevins is off to a hot start at the world cup races. The Giro d'Italia finishes this weekend and the overall victory is all up for grabs with three racers within a minute of each other. Will Isaac del Toro hold on to be the first Mexican grand tour winner?

You just stumbled onto the Gnar Couch Podshow—yes, “podshow,” because “podcast” is for people with functioning attention spans and fewer deeply repressed issues about outdoor furniture. We're the audio equivalent of finding a slightly wet couch at a trailhead: deeply unsettling, weirdly comfy, and probably hiding at least two species of insect (metaphorically). Our not-so-highly-trained panel dives straight into three pillars of modern mountain bike culture: (1) sending it big and eating it just as hard—broken bones, torn ACLs, and the never-ending pursuit of avoiding therapy bills by riding bikes off cliffs; (2) the sacred (and vaguely inappropriate) art of shuttling and cuddling, because real friendship is when you don't question how the couch got wet; and (3)the life of UCI racers Luke and Alex Mallen and the mainline reality check of working your ass off to chase down racing dreams while surviving on hand-me-down underwear and side-hustles aerating strangers' lawns. All delivered with enough self-loathing to fill a foam pit and enough edge to tear your shins up worse than cheap flat pedals. So while we're never going to be the podshow your mom wants to hear, we are the one you can't mention at work without getting a visit from HR. Grab the least-suspicious seat in the trailer, ignore the scent (just like we ignore the rules), and brace for the greatest self-sabotaging, semi-inspirational, off-the-rails mountain bike podshow to grace your undeserving ears. Welcome to Gnar Couch, where we race, we crash, and occasionally, we actually learn something—but only by accident.

Mads Würtz Schmidt has national titles, world titles, and World Tour pro wins but going into 2025 he's taken his skillset to gravel off-road to gravel. He's already racking up wins taking two UCI wins, the prestigious Traka 200 title, and now he's here on North American soil to try his hand at Unbound. Mads and I met up two days shy of the boiling hot Gravel Locos for this face to face conversation. Covering his time in rainbow stripes, his World Tour career, struggles with physical and mental setbacks, how therapy helped him rebound to the incredibly positive (and productive) place he is now.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP You can also watch this episode over on my YouTube channel here!   Guys, the Giro is rolling along, and what a race it's shaping up to be. Ahead of the final week of racing, it's still all to play for. We've got the mega-talented young Isaac Del Toro holding onto the Maglia Rosa, bookies' favourite Primoz Roglič dropping out of contention, and a handful of riders poised to go all out to try and unseat UAE's dominance before the finish in Rome. Tom Southam's been called up to bat for EF Education Easypost, so he's cruising around Italy in the team car, and he's already netted a pair of stage wins with Richard Carapaz and Kasper Asgreen! With Southam away, we've had a bit of a roster change for this month's Race Communique; we're joined by my old mate and fellow ex-professional, Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe sports director, the Flying Mullet himself - that's right, it's Shane Archbold. Shane'o joins me and Luke Durbridge - fresh off the back of the Tour of Hungary - to dissect the racing so far at the Giro and speculate what we might see in this last week of racing.  The Giro is known for being a pretty chaotic race, and the 2025 edition is no different. So far, we've seen some amazing stages, and the GC storyline has been incredible, too. From guys like Luke Plapp - the Plappinator - finally getting his hands in the air in Europe, Wout van Aert completing a monster comeback on the Strade Bianche gravel stage in dominant fashion, and unsung hero Daan Hoole taking some massive scalps in the stage 10 time trial. UAE are gripping the pink jersey pretty tightly, but guys like Simon Yates, Richard Carapaz, and our old mate Derek Gee are creeping up behind him, not to mention his own teammate Juan Ayuso waiting in the wings. Sadly for Shane, his Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe team are having some pretty rotten luck. First, they lost Jai Hindley - a former Giro winner - in the first week to a crash on the wet, slippery roads of Naples. Then, Dani Martinez, last year's runner-up, slipped out of the GC and hasn't looked like his former self so far. Of course, they went into the race with the defending champion Primoz Roglič, whose GC bid looks to be over after a brutal day of racing over the Monte Grappa. It's not all doom and gloom for Bora, though; young Italian super domestique Giulio Pellizzari has shown a hell of a lot of promise so far, and no doubt has a bright career ahead of him. In this week's PeloChat, Durbo shines the spotlight on XDS Astana and their ongoing hunt for UCI points to avoid being relegated at the end of the season. A change in tactics from the Kazakh team means they're no longer racing for the win, which sounds absolutely crazy for a pro cycling team. Instead, they're trying to stack the top 10 with riders to scrape together as many UCI points as they can. They've managed to claw themselves back up the team rankings and away from the relegation zone, putting other teams at risk and giving us fans a whole other narrative to follow this season. Finally, we have a Giro-themed CommuniQuiz. I'm Quiz Master this week, and I'll be testing Shane and Durbo's knowledge on all things Giro d'Italia. Which former ‘Junior World Champion' used to sell cleaning products, didn't turn pro until 26, and then went and won the Giro?! You'll have to listen to find out!  Enjoy this month's Communique, everybody. We'll be back at the same time next month, just a week or so out from the start of the biggest bike race of the year: the Sibiu Cycling Tour over in Romania…only kidding; of course it's the Tour de France!    Cheers, Mitch   The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

Après seulement 3 jours de course le Giro faisait relâche ce lundi histoire de permettre au peloton et aux suiveurs de regagner la péninsule italienne après son petit séjour albanais. 3 jours de course et un maillot rose installé sur les épaules de Mads Pedersen l'un des coureurs phares de ce début de saison qui après une campagne de classiques réussie, a décidé de poursuivre sur sa lancée dans ce premier Grand Tour 2025. Et les Français dans tout ça me direz-vous ? Eh bien nos coureurs ont débuté ce Tour d'Italie de manière pour le moins discrète. Une 16e place pour Bardet, premier français lors de la 1e étape, de moyenne montagne. Une 29e le lendemain lors du chrono pour Godon et enfin une 39e dimanche pour Nicolas Prodhomme coureur de Decathlon AG2r. Bref nos français sont pour l'instant abonné aux etcetera, alors peut-on espérer durant le reste de la course que l'un de nos 13 représentants décroche un bouquet ou va-t-il falloir se contenter de toutes petites miettes comme cela est le cas depuis le début de la saison. Avec seulement 3 victoires tricolore décrochées en world Tour en 2025, nous sommes loin du compte et cela se vérifie au classement UCI où pour la première fois depuis des lustres, aucun coureur français ne figure dans le top 40. Alors faut-il s'inquiéter de cette absence de résultats ? Comment l'expliquer et peut-on espérer une éclaircie durant la saison des Grands Tours qui a débuté avec ce Giro ? Production : Roxanne LacuskaRéalisation : Kevin Paugam
