Today's show takes a deep dive into two new bikes at opposite ends of all the spectrums: State's no-fuss 4130 All-Road sells for under $1,000 USD, and Cannondale's Topstone Lefty Gravel bike that employs a single-sided suspension fork and 30mm of rear-wheel-travel via a clever system combining built-in frame flex with a single pivot. Alvin, Josh, and Levy also dissect Zwift's new outdoor ride-tracking feature that may (or may not) eventually challenge Strava as many people's go-to app, and Alvin reports back on how using shorter cranks for the last five months has propelled him to new heights and watts... or maybe not?

Remember when that guy used a bot to get the Tron bike for a race and it was the biggest cheating in the history of cheating? Ethics in gear acquisition is back in the news thanks to the new Zwift bike upgrades. Is it cheating to run Zwift with a heart rate monitor app while you're mowing the lawn? What if you hook up a Nintendo controller and mash the A and B buttons? We discuss.  Also, the World's Most Dangerous Group Ride, memories of the time they had a crit at the CrossFit Games, and of course, cheating.  Nowhere Fast is a member of the Wide Angle Podium network.

In dieser Folge widmen wir uns einer noch jungen, aber rasant wachsenden Disziplin im Radsport: dem virtuellen Racing.Mein Gesprächspartner ist Sebastian Wolf – Gründer des Beast Mode Teams, das nicht nur mit dem Hauptsponsor Rose an seiner Seite für professionelle Strukturen sorgt, sondern vor allem auch neue Wege geht.Beast Mode ist ein Rennteam, das nicht draußen auf Schotter, Asphalt oder Trails fährt – sondern drinnen. Genauer gesagt: auf der Rolle. In Plattformen wie Zwift messen sich die Fahrer*innen in internationalen Wettkämpfen – mit hoher Intensität, taktischem Feingefühl und echtem Teamspirit.Wir sprechen über die Entstehungsgeschichte dieses etwas andere Team, über Chancen und Herausforderungen des virtuellen Racings, über neue Zielgruppen und Communitys – und auch darüber, was Marken und Tourismus aus dieser Entwicklung lernen können. Denn: Beast Mode ist mehrals ein sportliches Projekt – es ist ein Statement für Wandel, neue Formate und gelebte Innovation.

Welcome back to Geek Warning! The podcast that puts all the most interesting cycling tech and advice into one place.Before you tune in to the latest episode, it's worth noting that the geeks often record a few days before an episode drops. In any normal week that's no problem, but it's been far from a normal week. In this episode Ronan McLaughlin, Suvi Loponen, and Dave Rome chat about the impact of tariffs on the cycling industry - many of which have been put on hold in the time between recording and publishing. Still, some discussed themes are likely to become true.On a happier note it's the week of the Sea Otter Classic in California. Recent years have seen this event organically become the industry tradeshow for the North American market, and with that, you can bet there are always plenty of new things to see. The geeks discuss some of the bigger announcements leading into the event.Lastly, the episode wraps up with our Ask a Wrench segment featuring pro-race mechanic Brad Copeland.

Ele é um exemplo de dedicação e disciplina. Sócio do Esporte Clube Pinheiros desde o nascimento, foi lá que teve seu primeiro contato com o esporte. Durante a infância e adolescência, praticou diversas modalidades, como futebol, taekwondo, surfe, remo e tênis, onde chegou a ser federado. Nos anos de faculdade, treinou natação e corrida com a equipe de triathlon do Pinheiros, o que lhe conferiu um excelente condicionamento físico para o surfe e o futebol. Formou-se e focou no trabalho por alguns bons anos, treinando esporadicamente. Só em 2016, após o nascimento da primeira filha, incentivado por seu cunhado, decidiu voltar a se dedicar mais seriamente ao esporte. Comprou uma bicicleta e estreou em uma prova de triathlon. Em 2018, sua segunda competição já foi o Ironman 70.3 de Bariloche. No ano seguinte se dedicou mais e competiu no Ironman 70.3 de Florianópolis, onde garantiu sua vaga para o mundial da distância daquele ano. Quando decidiu que estava pronto para experimentar uma prova de Ironman, veio a pandemia e adiou seus planos, muito embora tenha conseguido manter-se bem treinado por quase dois anos, até a sua estreia na distância, que aconteceu em Cozumel, em setembro de 2021.     Para a sua surpresa, tudo deu certo e ele completou a prova em 8h29', foi vice-campeão de sua categoria e garantiu a tão cobiçada vaga para o Campeonato Mundial em Kona, no Havaí. Na prova, ele brilhou novamente, conquistando o 4º lugar em sua faixa etária. Em 2023, conquistou títulos como o de campeão de sua categoria no Ironman Florianópolis e além de um 15º lugar no Mundial de Ironman realizado em Nice, ele foi vice campeão da sua faixa etária. Já em 2024, repetiu o título em Florianópolis e o vice-campeonato na sua categoria no Mundial de Kona, consolidando-se como um dos grandes nomes do triathlon amador brasileiro. Conosco aqui, o triatleta formado em Administração com MBA em Finanças, trabalhador do mercado financeiro há 28 anos, dedicado e talentoso integrante da equipe de triathlon do ECP, o paulistano Roberto Corrêa Fonseca.

A história deste casal é um excelente exemplo de como a dedicação, a superação e a cumplicidade podem ser transformadoras. Unidos há 27 anos, eles construíram uma vida marcada por conquistas pessoais, familiares e esportivas, além de desafios inimagináveis. Ele, nascido em São Sebastião do Paraíso, Minas Gerais, cresceu em uma fazenda simples e é o mais velho de sete irmãos. Desde cedo, aprendeu a valorizar o esforço e a dedicação. Ela, paulistana, veio de uma família de três filhos e cresceu em frente a um clube na Zona Norte de São Paulo, onde levou a sério o balé e, depois, seguiu os passos do irmão, jogando tênis. Ambos se formaram em Administração de Empresas, ela pelo Mackenzie e ele pela Fundação Getúlio Vargas, onde ingressou em quinto lugar. O mercado financeiro os levou a se conhecerem no banco onde trabalhavam. A paixão foi arrebatadora e, em poucos meses, decidiram se casar. Dois anos depois, vieram os gêmeos, seguidos por Maria Luíza alguns anos mais tarde. A vida familiar e profissional exigiu muita dedicação, e eles prosperaram. Em 2010, decidiram começar a correr juntos. A primeira corrida foi um marco: ele, muito competitivo, ficou para trás dela e, desde então, decidiu levar o esporte a sério. A partir daí, não pararam mais. Apenas dois anos depois, enfrentaram juntos uma das mais emblemáticas ultramaratonas do mundo: a Comrades Marathon, na África do Sul. Ele completou a prova em 7h28, e ela, que inicialmente deveria acompanhá-lo apenas nos quilômetros finais, decidiu se inscrever e treinar para concluir a prova, feito que realizou em pouco menos de 9 horas. Ele já completou 14 maratonas, com um recorde pessoal de 2h43, enquanto ela fez 13 maratonas, com o melhor tempo de 3h08. Mas os desafios não pararam por aí. Em 2014, ele fez sua estreia no triathlon, e ela o seguiu no ano seguinte. Desde então, ele participou de 22 provas de Ironman, incluindo sete edições do Mundial de Kona, no Havaí. Ela, por sua vez, completou oito provas de Ironman, com duas participações em Kona. Além disso, ela se destacou em provas de ciclismo, com um terceiro lugar no Granfondo La Campionissimo Sportive, em 2016, na Itália, e um quinto lugar no GFNY, em 2019. Juntos, encontraram no esporte uma forma de fortalecer o espírito e a parceria, enfrentar os desafios da vida e inspirar os filhos. Conosco aqui, ele, que se formou em Administração de Empresas, é publisher do site “O Antagonista” e empresário, figura de opiniões muitas vezes polêmicas e, para muitos, um guru do mercado financeiro, um autointitulado especialista em generalidades e um triatleta de alta performance; e ela, administradora, alicerce familiar, corredora, triatleta e fã número um do marido: o casal Pedro Luiz Cerize e Juliana Seidler Cerize.

On today's Spotlight, we ask why runners are racing faster than ever? The same could also be said of cyclists, and we use an intriguing article by Amby Burfoot to explore and discuss the possible contributors, ranging from super shoes to the "Bannister effect". It leads us back to ground we've covered before (shoe tech, carbs), some areas we have yet to cover in detail (bicarbonate), and down some dark alleys that may contain the future (and possibly present) of doping methods.We also talk about technology in sport, and about which sports have seen the biggest, fastest leaps as a result of innovation, taking a quick tour of some other devices that have 'recalibrated' sporting performances and human limits.Finally, we discuss some of the science and performances in the Zwift Academy 2025, the latest iteration of a competition to identify and recruit aspirant cyclists into two professional cycling teams. We explore the tests used on the show, their value, and how hugely confounded the talent prediction is, even in a sport as measurable as cycling.Show notesAs mentioned, Discourse is where it all goes down, and here's where you click to become a member for a small monthly donation.
