## Resource

This week on the GCN Show, we dive into the controversial world of gravel and ultra-endurance racing following allegations of course-cutting and illegal support in major European events. We also investigate the mysterious sabotage of Ollie Bridgewood’s bike at the Fred Whitton Challenge and take a look at the brand-new Canyon Endurace models. Plus, we celebrate a father-son duo breaking three world records and catch up on the latest racing results from the Giro d’Italia and the Women’s Vuelta.
