Tech Special - New Bikes At The Giro d'Italia | The GCN Show Ep. 226

Clock00:00, Tuesday 9th May 2017

Lasty is here solo on the GCN show this week. And he’s freshly returned and "tanned" from the Giro and he has more "Tech" than you could shake a bike pump at.

Can you beat Lasty’s caption? What do you think of Adam Hansen’s shoes and the rest of the tech? Let us know 👇

Lasty loves tech, and he lets you into a little secret that the DT Swiss 2018 range is literally being released right now. Women’s specific bikes from Canyon featuring 650b wheels and geometry to suit. Lapierre had their new Aircode 2 model on the roof of a team car
Cervélo had the R5 minus the cool spotty paintwork we originally saw, please introduce it as standard!
What we think is the Merida Reacto 3 bike with a very cool bit of paintwork, called “dazzle camouflage” or “razzle dazzle”.
New shoes from both Adam Hansen and Fizik with their very fancy R1B Climb Shoes.

We’ve got news from the first few days at the Giro d’Italia and the Tour Of Chongming Island. Incidentally, the descending competition at the Giro that we spoke about in last week’s GCN show has been cancelled by the organisers.

You can be in with a chance of winning one of two Canyon Ultimate WMN CF SL DISC 9.0's that are up for grabs, simply head to our competition to enter: http://gcn.eu/canyoncomp

We’ve got the regulars and favourites, hacks, bodges, competitions, caption of the week to win a Camelbak bottle, and a very special (for us anyway) Wattage Bazooka with Lasty’s loud shout!
