Or does their legendary status have something to do with the epic "rivalry" they have against each other? Dan Lloyd & Si Richardson dive in!

Plus, new pedal designs, a book from a former GCN presenter, and why the UCI are reversing a measure they put into pro cycling to improve safety just a few years ago...
