In the latest episode of the Placeholders, Caley Fretz, Dane Cash, and Abby Mickey talk Soudal-QuickStep's 2023 campaign, the latest from the Tour de Romandie, Tadej Pogačar's injury, Miguel Ángel López, and the new CRIT series, while Iain Treloar provides an update on Primož Roglič's Twitter tribulations and Joe Lindsay offers some insight into what has been going on over at the Zaaf Cycling Team.

On this week's episode of Geek Warning... Specialized says its new Epic World Cup will replace hardtails for racing, and while the bike looks interesting, this isn't the first time we've heard such a thing and hardtails have proven time and again that they've got a lot of lives.

Also in this week's show: Wahoo is probably for sale, but who should buy it? Might you soon be taking your e-bike to an auto mechanic for service? Why did Boyd Cycling open up an aluminum rim factory in South Carolina? And James gives a recap of the shiny new stuff – both affordable and expensive – he saw at last week's Sea Otter Classic, along with a PSA on how your DRL might not be providing the visibility you think it is.

Abby, Matt and Gracie break down the final two races of the Spring Classics and Ardennes week. Both La Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège had potentially inevitable winners but kept us on the edge of our seats.

Plus, we answer a couple of listener questions and talk about what we’ve been obsessed with lately (non-cycling related, of course).

Ruth Winder and Kit Nicholson join Dane Cash and Cosmo Catalano to talk...

This week on Geek Warning, James, Ronan, and Caley talk through rumors of a new Specialized Tarmac SL8, dig into the worst bike James has ever ridden, the return of Mavic (but not where you think they would be), and much more.

Ruth Winder and Caley Fretz joined Dane Cash and Cosmo Catalano this week to talk...

SD Worx bouncing back after Paris-Roubaix with a dominant Amstel Gold Race

Tadej Pogačar being untouchable, again

Race vehicles and drafting

Ardennes action ahead

Trek-Segafredo’s Brodie Chapman joins Abby, Loren and Matt de Neef to watch the final 27 km of the Amstel Gold Race. They chat about Brodie’s return from injury, the SD Worx “problem” and more.

Paris-Roubaix has been a better predictor of the bike tech that will be common in the future than any other pro race. It was the first with bigger tires, the first with disc brakes, the first with endurance frames. 

So what were teams riding this year? Ronan Mc Laughlin and Caley Fretz dive into the cutting edge of cobble-worthy bike tech.

Lots of news in this week's live episode! Fresh patent filings have revealed Campagnolo's upcoming wireless electronic groupsets will have thumb buttons after all, we've got an intriguing new thermoplastic wheel brand as well as two more wheel intros from Roval, Garmin is chasing the sun with new solar-powered GPS computers, Trek seems to be moving away from the Bontrager label, and Q36.5 announces its latest effort to prevent road rash. James also shares his thoughts on headset-based cable routing for mountain bikes (it's dumb), and Dave offers his opinion on race-style repair stands, and we answer a bunch of from our live studio audience.
