Summary

Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast, it’s an Unbound special as Jack Luke and Simon von Bromley look ahead to this weekend’s race and discuss the big tech talking point – 32in wheels. Are they on the cusp of becoming the next ‘must-have’ feature in gravel racing, and what does that mean for the recently launched raft of 700c gravel bikes? Tune in to find out. Following that, the duo discuss Vingegaard’s imperious form at the Giro d’Italia and whether it signals that the Danish rider is back to his best ahead of the 2026 Tour de France. Next up, they discuss the Giant TCR SLR – a fantastic value aluminium road bike that recently launched in Japan – the news that the UCI has lost its appeal against SRAM and the Belgian Competition Authority, and the launch of 60mm – yes, 60mm! – gravel tyres from Schwalbe. Finally, we end the podcast with some sad news. After almost a decade at BikeRadar, Jack Luke is leaving for a new role elsewhere in the bike industry 😱 Learn more about your ad choices.
