## Resource

In this week's episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Jack and Simon kick things off with the launch of the new Cannondale CAAD14, where they discuss the welcome return to a more traditional aluminium frame design, and the eye-watering £7,500 / $7,499 / €7,499 price of the top-spec model. Next, with Continental launching a new 35mm GP5000 S TR and 30mm TT tyre, the pair discuss whether even wider tyres set to become the new normal in pro racing. In Rant of the Week, they tackle the prickly issue of their flawless dress sense, before wrapping up with an overview of Wheeltop’s groupsets – and why these cheaper, highly programmable drivetrains could shake up the dominance of Shimano and SRAM.
