UCI fined him for conduct unbecoming. Sigh.

Just awful! They claim it’s to make carrying on your shoulder easier - no doubt cyclocross bikes will soon be adopting it as standard ;-)

Yes. For the mapping, notifications and the screen. I think that the Megamo’s are 13.9kg road, 14.9kg gravel, btw. I guess lightest.

Last time I checked, Cycling Today/Cycling stream had loads of stages from most races available as full replays (as much as TV carried) And completely free. Always worth a look. Also live, but can be laggy/problems with feed.

Did you see the bonkers Megamo road and gravel bikes I previewed with the Avinox M2S?

Yes, it is genuinely good, but I hope I don’t need to say that. I keep trying to find bad stuff to say in my reviews so that they’re taken seriously, but I keep getting sent decent stuff. For 80ish quid, this is fantastic. It’s a Magene C606 really. I was asked not to mention that as Geoid are...

Today Bosch unveiled a completely new motor. Are you sitting down? It’s a 45Nm HUB motor. Canyon have put it in their latest singlespeed commuter Roadlite ON - also released today. I was supposed to be getting my hands on one for a little spin next week after Eurobike, but have surgery...

Captain I’ll pop back and ride it for you, never fear.

Probably a bit late to the party, Captain, but from what Canyon told me about the possibility of swapping the Grizl ON fly to a TQ motor (none), I wouldn’t hold my breath re a new frame for the Endurace ON. They said they wouldn’t contemplate changes within 2-3 years of a launch owing to the...

You are going to be a perfect fit for the chat team! I’ll be on today if I can, but there’s a lot going on at the moment in Casa Yako…

I suspect Jonas wouldn’t make Del Toro’s mistake! For those wanting to watch live but unprepared to remortgage their house to do so, if it’s working, https://cycling.today/ or That’s JHB, Jonathan Harries-Bass I think. The foodie cyclist. Can’t bear him!

I suspect Jonas won’t be making Del Toro’s mistake! For those wanting to watch live but unprepared to remortgage their house to do so, if it’s working: https://cycling.today/ or https://cyclingstream.com/ offer live coverage of the entire race - and just about every other road/cyclocross race...

Like the others, the change was forced on me through illness, but it didn’t take long for me to regain fitness, and soon surpass the amount of riding I was doing before. My annual kms went from 6k to 10k, but more importantly, I was enjoying it more. No climb was beyond me - opening up descents...

Are they?! That is great news for the UK. The BH iRS1 has a whopping great battery (600Wh) but must be heavier. The iAerolight was a year or more ahead of the game with its 11.8kg, ‘big’ battery and powerful mid motor. Brilliant bikes. As to which of the 3…such a hard choice. I’m riding all...

I still pinch myself that I get to ride these bikes! Me, a fat goat farmer! Not exactly GCN material! So, Ras, you liked the idea of the gravel race, the 5-day rave…yet say nothing about the clothing-optional weird-as-f ‘Nowhere’ festival??? Making hummus in a tent, or performative art whilst...
