The big question this week on The GCN Show is Why You Ride? With some interesting findings from a recent scientific study, we reveal the answers. But are they what you expected? We'd love to know why YOU ride - tell us in the comments below. 💬

There's more news from the Vuelta a España, Canyon is in the USA, Temple Cycles prove to be a modern business and there's plenty of pro transfer news too.

What do you think of Tom Dumoulin's #GTNPainCave set up? Hear the latest from Mark Beaumont, and we check out Team Sky's new Race Hub.

Tech of the Week features the NGEco power meter from Power2Max. At less than €500, it adds another quality power meter to the market.

#wattagebazooka goes to Astana rider Brumotti, and to Andy Woodruff for his singlespeed 404 mile 24 hour bike ride!

Hack/bodge of the week yields some great hacks for bike travel and a pretty rad bike dog.

Don't forget to enter our caption competition this week for the chance to win a GCN Camelbak bottle. Good luck! 🤞

Fizik will be launching their 2018 range next week - stay tuned!
