Is Professional Cycling More Dangerous Than Ever? | GCN Show Ep.368

Clock00:00, Tuesday 28th January 2020

Over the last few years Pro Cycling has changed a lot. The peloton is faster, riders are under more pressure and, arguably, the sport has become more dangerous than ever before. We sat down for a chat with Bernie Eisel about the growing frequency of crashes in bike races and how the bunch has changed in the last 20 years. We also take a look at the latest cycling news and have all of your favourite features.
