Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week's episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Simon is back in the studio with Warren Rossiter to look ahead to the 2026 Tour de France. From weight weenie bikes to extreme heat hacks, these are the tech stories that we think will define the race for cycling's most important prize. Following that, Warren and Simon address a few questions posed on a recent episode of the Nero Show podcast, about Warren's review of the new Eddy Merckx 525R. We then move onto news in brief, where we cover a smattering of stories from Eurobike, Continental's new limited edition tyres and some good news for cheap road and gravel bikes from Shimano.
