Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week’s packed episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Ashley Quinlan is joined by Warren Rossiter, to get to grips with the biggest news stories of the week. First up is Megamo’s new ebike with a 1,500W peak power motor. Is it too much? Ashley and Warren discuss. Ashley then shares the counter-trends he spotted while on the ground at the start of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (formerly known as the Critèrium du Dauphiné), before chatting about infamous UCI rules-challenger Jan Willem van Schip’s latest disqualification at the Tour de L’Oise. And Warren shares his take on Garmin’s latest kit-tracking feature, plus the news that Pirelli has launched 55mm wide gravel tyres. How wide is too wide? Warren has a set coming to test, plus lets us in on his latest testing exploits. Finally, we sign off wishing the best of luck to ultracyclists Lael Wilcox and Sarah Goggins on their respective record attempts, happening right now! Learn more about your ad choices.
