Motorised doping and hidden motors in bike racing have reared their ugly head again. Details are scarce, but this one really has us thinking; should mechanical dopers be banned for life?

We also have tech of the week from Wahoo, who have launched the Wahoo Mini.

Tragedy struck the 2017 Transcontinental as competitor Frank Simons tragically passed away following a collision. The event will go on, but, of course, our thoughts and sympathies are with Frank's family, friends and fellow competitors at this time.

We also have an update from John "Chocolate Voice" Beavan. Training for the Haute Route is going well. You should head over to Instagram and give him a follow: http://gcn.eu/jn
