Is cycling at its best when going fast or taking it slow? Is the thrill of high speeds, being aero, and pushing your limits the most enjoyable part of cycling, or is it more about relaxing, being with oneself, and enjoying a steady ride? Conor and Si are polar opposites on this debate, but will they find common ground? 👀

Plus, they're diving into how machine learning could revolutionise bike path planning, Tadej Pogačar’s epic new contract, and why Mathieu Van Der Poel might be choosing to miss the Tour de France next year...
