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...
