Summary
The UCI is taking a stand against the technological escalation of ultra-expensive cycling tech by implementing strict price caps and commercial availability rules for the LA 2028 Olympics. In this week's GCN Show, Dan and Simon dive into what these new regulations mean for the future of track and road racing. Plus, we discuss Taylor Phinney’s surprise comeback, the results from the Amstel Gold Race, and why President Macron is getting involved in the pro cycling transfer market.
