Summary

This week on the GCN Show, we dive into the mind-boggling world of ultra-endurance as Alex McCormack sets a new world record by riding over 3,800km in just one week. We sit down with Alex to discuss the physical toll of the attempt and debate whether these extreme challenges are pushing the limits of safety too far. #AD Win 1 of 3 HJC Bellus 2 Helmets thanks to HJC Sports https://gcn.eu/HJCBellusCompetition Chapters: ⏱️ 00:00 - Welcome to the GCN Show 00:51 - 3,826km in a Week: World Record! 04:58 - Interview: Alex McCormack 07:41 - Is Cycling Getting More Dangerous? 13:41 - Cycling Shorts: Flanders Recap 16:40 - Pogačar’s Sticky Bottle & Train Drama 18:32 - 32-inch Wheels & Zwift Gravel 21:43 - HJC Helmet Giveaway 22:42 - Hack or Bodge of the Week 33:41 - Comments of the Week & Paris-Roubaix Preview
