This week on the GCN Show, we're talking pro bike sponsorship and what it really means to us as the end users. Can you really ride the same bike as Peter Sagan – or any other pro for that matter? Well, following Niki Terpstra's crash at Paris-Roubaix, where a part on his bike failed, it seems many of you believe the answer might be no. We'd love to hear your thoughts – let us know down in the comments below.

As usual, we have all of your favourites, we announce a couple of *very* lucky bike winners. Didn't win? This week we're giving away one pair of Mavic's super-cool Comete Ultimate shoes: http://gcn.eu/9k
