Races, courses, kit, bikes and competitors; pro cycling is a sport that can change a lot, even in just a year. We got thinking; how has the sport changed over the last decade or so for some of the most experienced riders in the pro peloton – some of whom started there professional careers in the early-2000s.
Thanks to the riders for their answers, and, if there's a question that you'd like to see the pros answer this week, let us know down in the comments.

Do you need cycling-specific clothing? While regular clothes work fine, cycling-specific gear really steps up your comfort and performance. Join Hank and Manon as they take you through the must-have kit in every cyclist's wardrobe!

Cyclists are known for their lean physiques. To some outsiders, they might appear "skinny" and "weak", and while we know that this isn’t the case, Dan & Si still tackle the debate head-on! In this week's show they dive into whether a cyclist's physique is truly the pinnacle of fitness ...or not!
If you were given £2,000 to buy any bike you want, what would you do? Here at GCN, we'd almost certainly go for a used bike.
