Dan Bigham on the future of road cycling tech and how to make pro racing safer


Listen Later

With the 2025 WorldTour season just around the corner, Liam and Simon are joined by Dan Bigham, Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe’s head of engineering, to discuss what the big tech trends might be.

 

Starting with the question of whether there’s any low hanging aero fruit left to pick, the conversation moves onto the ongoing controversy over the relationship between speed and safety in professional bike racing.

 

The trio then discuss the UCI Hour Record, whether breaking the 60km mark is possible and how it could be done.

 

Wrapping up, Liam and Simon turn the lens on themselves and ask whether Dan thinks there’s anything cycling media could do to help audiences understand complicated topics and cut through marketing claims.
