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!
