For our main story this week we’re discussing whether Peter Sagan is just ‘all show, no go’ or if he can actually be counted among the greatest cyclists of all time. Make sure you let us know your opinion in the comments below.
It’s the good news show this week, with San Francisco’s ebike hire scheme, Alberto Contador’s return to the world of cycling, and the news that cycling can help reverse the risk of heart disease.
We’ve got some quality hacks, a possible new cyclocross series in racing news, and Koen de Kort’s concern in the caption competition.
Plus find out what happened next for Dan and Si when they had a dicey moment on some ice.
If you'd like to contribute captions and video info in your language, here's the link 👍 http://gcn.eu/wt

Wondering what you need to take to your next big race? If you're unsure what to pack for an upcoming bike event, don't miss Conor's top tips in this video!
This might be the most boring-sounding cycling topic we've ever covered, but it's really NOT, and ...it's super important! That's right - today, we're talking about efficiency and what you can do to make yourself more efficient!
How fast you turn those pedals is an important aspect to get right, especially when it comes to keeping those legs fresher for the latter stages of a ride. In this respect, is it better to spin to win or to grind it out? Bear with us... Conor is about to do some science 🔬 🧐
