In the latest episode we talk with David Bates about his experience riding the Spanish Badlands Gravel epic - his exhaustive training, threshold testing and the drama that unfolded in the Andalusian mountains and deserts.

We also reveal how a major cycling retailer claims bike sales are at their lowest level this century as the team discuss the ongoing industry doldrums.

Alex argues we should be switching to smaller wheels on road bikes and Rupert lets us in on his new weapon in the battle against tubeless punctures - tractor sealant.
