Is This Event The Future Of Road Cycling? | GCN Show Ep. 641
This week, Si and Dan dive deep into Levi's GranFondo β an event renowned for its stunning Californian scenery but equally infamous for its challenging route. We explore the unique dynamic of this event, which successfully blends a mass participation ride with a fiercely contested, unsupported race, truly taking cycling back to its basics! Is this the ultimate test?
Alongside our main talking point, we've got a packed show covering the latest cycling news, tech, and more! Including a new 24-hour indoor cycling record, Marianne Vos' incredible lifetime contract, concerns over potential US cycling tariffs, Gary Fisher's backing of a new eBike brand, the sleek new Colnago V5RS, and Zwift's adjustable cranks.
Plus, we announce competition winners, launch a new competition for a Redshift Cockpit Bundle, pay tribute to the legendary Barry Hoban, and bring you your favourite segments

Is Gravel Riding Just Admitting Defeat To Motorists? | GCN Show Ep. 639
Pro cycling speeds have gotten faster and faster. But what role has tech played in that? One of the chief architects of that evolution has been the performance engineer Jean-Paul Ballard, and we sat down with him at the Immenstadt wind tunnel in Germany to discuss all the things that make riders faster and the things that don't. As well as the things that will make us faster in the future!Β
Heβs a fascinating person to speak to, so we hope you enjoy our conversation!
