654: The One Record Tadej PogaΔar Hasn't Broken | GCN Show Ep. 654
Welcome to the GCN Show! This week, we're asking a big question: Is there still one record that Tadej PogaΔar can't break? We dive deep into his incredible climbing performance on Hautacam at the Tour de France and compare it to the legendary, controversial record set by Bjarne Riis back in 1996.
We also discuss the difficult topic of doping in cycling, both past and present, and whether modern advancements in technology mean not all old records are breakable. Plus, we've got news on the best and worst states for commuting in America, a look at some super-fast (and expensive) new inner tubes, and promising news from the bike industry.
And as always, we have your best hacks and bodges, comments, and the caption competition!
