In our 260th GCN Show, we celebrate the start of 2018 with the new kits sported by riders of the pro peloton and even new bike day for some! There's more to those cycling New Year's resolutions than you might think - so we tell you which you can ditch!

We've got all your favourites - cycling shorts, hack/bodge of the week, caption competition etc. - as well as some announcements about changes at GCN HQ in 2018. Want to know more? Well maybe you'll just have to watch to find out...

It's been a busy time over the New Year in the cyclocross calendar, so we round up the best of the men's and women's action from Europe. It really is hotting up ahead of the World Champs.

Remember to enter the caption competition, check out Dan and Si's new threads and don't forget to comment with your New Year's Resolutions - or should we say - micro resolutions.

Happy New Year!
