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

Illegal Super Bike | So Fast It Was Banned!

Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
