Many of us like a drink from time to time, there's not much better than a cold pint after a hot summers ride, but is that 'recovery' pint actually harming your performance the next day?

We've also got a Pi bike, a sexual health study, and some very exciting news about some amazing cobbled classics content coming up on the channel in the next couple of weeks!!

Illegal Super Bike | So Fast It Was Banned!

Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
