Is Peter Sagan The Greatest Cyclist Of All Time? | The GCN Show Ep. 287
Welcome to the GCN Show! This week we are celebrating Peter Sagan as one of the greatest riders of all time, a true G.O.A.T.. Ollie and Si are at Eurobike bringing us the hottest new tech in the industry, where we learnt a chainless bike is more efficient. And finally, we are reminded how tough cyclists are, especially pro Lawson Craddock.

When you start to surpass the records of Eddy Merckx, you know you will forever be known as one of cycling’s greats, and the way Sagan has started this year’s Tour de France has cemented his place in the history books. 2 stages, one 2nd place, one win, and therefore already in green, and yellow. Emma pulls out the graphs to show just how good Sagan really is!
You could ride in the pro peloton! In theory, at least. This was a study done at Eindhoven University and brought to our attention by Andrei Loghin. They placed 121 mannequins on bikes in a wind tunnel and tested exactly how much less air resistance you experience. And at the sweet spot, they reckon, you’ll only encounter 5% of the air resistance that you would if you were riding in the same conditions alone. Interesting!
Let us know if you think Sagan is the greatest of all time. If not, who is? 👇

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!
