In this week's show, Simon Richardson and Dan Lloyd discuss safety in pro cycling, and why change is needed. Specifically, they focus on whether young pros take too many risks and what could be done to mitigate accidents. Plus, they're rating the latest WorldTour team kits, diving into Strava’s questionable A.I. "compliments", and a new award for Mark Cavendish!

Cycling might be one of the most watched sports globally, but how does it fare as a hobby in the eyes of the public? 🤔

Surprisingly, surveys suggest that cycling doesn’t even crack the top 15 most attractive hobbies. Naturally, this sparked a bit of debate at GCN Megabase, so we sent Hank out for an “independent” public survey to settle it once and for all.

Let’s just say... it didn’t quite go to plan! 🚴‍♂️😂

Are You Training Wrong? 

New research suggests you might be! Si and Dan reveal how understanding their muscle fibre types could have made them better cyclists back in the day.

In this video, they dive into the science behind muscle fibre types – fast twitch vs. slow twitch – and debate whether every cyclist should know theirs to optimize their performance and enjoy a better riding experience.

Could this be the secret to improving your training?

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...
