We'll kick off by mentioning Daniel's Epic Fail. Our run of bad luck continues when it comes to Grand Tour predictions. Admittedly, our luck isn't as bad as the race favourites we've tipped. Ah well, there's always next year.

The Vuelta has been super-exciting as it heads into the final week. We've seen bursts of the Tour de France winning Chris Froome, but Alberto Contador has been on Grand Tour winning form all race.

The Tour of Britain kicked off on Sunday and we gave Alex Dowsett the keys to our Instagram account. Check it out - we're 'globalcyclingnetwork'. We'll be at the stage starts in Worcester and Bath - so come and say hi! The best way to find us is via Twitter.

Finally, we've got your usual tech and caption favourites, so don't forget to get in touch if you've won something and comment on this video with your captions to win something next week.

Please like the video (if you actually like it), and, as Dan says, share it if you're feeling generous.

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!
