Cycling's 10 Year Challenge | The GCN Show Ep. 315

Clock00:00, Tuesday 22nd January 2019

Welcome to the GCN Show - coming up this week, we shamelessly piggyback off the hashtag that is taking social media by storm, and look at Cycling’s #10yearchallenge, where was our sport 10 years ago, and has it changed for the better?

This week in the world of cycling, we learned that once you’ve won Milan San Remo, the next logical step in life is to take up roller hockey… Here is newly retired Pippo Pozzato showing his skillz, with a Z. We also learned that Elia Viviani is not only one of the best sprinters in the world, he’s also like cycling’s Harry Houdini, seemingly able to fit through gaps that don’t exist.

These days, of course, every team is on carbon rims - a testament to how far carbon fiber tech has come within cycling over that time. Also in 2009, aero road helmets weren’t a thing, nor were skinsuits in road races. On top of that, 10 years ago, pedalling on your top tube wasn’t a thing, thankfully, Egan Bernal had just started high school, smart trainers meant some kind of posh Nike’s, competing meant actually pinning a number on, discs were wheels you used in time trials, bottom brackets worked, and gravel didn’t exist.

Let us know about your 10-year challenge and also how you think cycling will have changed in another 10 years. 👇

Is Spinning Gears Really Faster?

How fast you turn those pedals is an important aspect to get right, especially when it comes to keeping those legs fresher for the latter stages of a ride. In this respect, is it better to spin to win or to grind it out? Bear with us... Conor is about to do some science 🔬 🧐
