Clock00:00, Tuesday 11th December 2018

Welcome to the GCN Show - this week we discuss whether there's a place for e-racing/virtual racing in cycling. We've also got Christmas Trees, the best winter riding excuse ever, Salbutamol and Peter Sagan climbing lots of stairs!

We, GCN, are hosting our first ever event! 4 days in the cycling paradise of Mallorca at the end of March. It’s open to all abilities, we’ll have different ride levels, from easy spinning cafe pro to well, ambitious pro. But no matter what ride you chose, fun is the aim of the game. And when we get back from riding, fun is the name of the game there too. There’ll be loads to do in the afternoons and evenings. Workshops, seminars, q and a’s and loads more.

This week, there was a big stir when British Cycling announced that they have teamed up with Zwift in a 2-year deal. The controversy seemed to come mainly from the fact that the winners of the proposed national championships will receive the coveted blue white and red striped jersey given to British National Champions.

Do you think e-racing should have a national championships jersey? Let us know in the comments. 👇

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!
