We look back over the past week of racing at the Tour de France and pick out Marcel Kittel as our rider of the week. We also spoke to Marcel about his two stage wins during the week, seeing off Mark Cavendish and André Greipel.
Despite Chris Froome winning the Mont Ventoux stage, wearing the yellow jersey and winning the polka dot jersey, Laurens ten Dam of Belkin is the Strava king of the mountain up Ventoux, and we want to know what your times are.
We also take a look at the new Colnago CX Zero, and choose our Tweet of the week from Brian Holm of Omega Pharma Quick-Step.

At the 2024 Giro d'Italia, Alex investigates whether the world's best riders are still favouring a super low and long bike setup, or if the trends are shifting towards some riders opting for a higher front end and more spacers. Is this for increased comfort, or is it a new approach to their riding position and aerodynamics? Join Alex to find out!
Is pro racing better than ever or more boring than ever? Join Si & Hank as they dive into the debate!
We gave a pro-cyclist a £100 bike and then sent him up the steepest climb we could find. Will he get to the top? How long will it take? Will the bike survive, or is it just as good as a super bike? Join Hank and Conor to find out!
