The World Hour Record holder, a world champion rower and a GCN presenter all in one place can only mean one thing: it’s challenge time! In this clash of the titans, we’re pitting GCN auf Deutsch presenter Richie against Victor Campenaerts and Ward Lemmelijn to find out whether rowers or cyclists make for the strongest endurance athletes.

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!
