Campagnolo is out of the WorldTour – what now?
Campagnolo, the iconic Italian groupset manufacturer, isn’t sponsoring a WorldTour professional team in 2024. Do Campagnolo’s groupsets and components simply perform worse than those from Shimano and SRAM? Or could commercial considerations have driven Campagnolo’s exit from cycling’s elite road racing calendar? With the new season now under way, Simon von Bromley and Oscar Huckle discuss the possible reasons behind this decline and how Campagnolo might turn things around. Learn more about your ad choices.

New Specialized Aethos, Giant TCR and Canyon Aeroad? 8 new road bikes we could see in 2024
Following our overview of predicted MTB launches, Jack Luke and Simon von Bromley run through eight road bikes we think may be launched this year. Cyclical development and release schedules enable us to make some fairly solid predictions. 2024 is also an Olympic year, so any brand gets two juicy munches out of the marketing cherry, significantly increasing the likelihood of new bike launches. Our gossip geeks also discuss whether consumer tastes or convergent design philosophies drive progress, the one thing Simon would change about the Canyon Aeroad and the future of material science in cycling.

The new & unreleased MTBs we want to see in 2024
We’re looking ahead again in this episode, trying to predict which new mountain bikes will hit the shop floor in 2024. Bike brands tend to follow semi-regular update schedules, so with a few popular models getting long in the tooth, we’re expecting new versions to appear this year. It’s also an Olympic year, and so perhaps we’ll see a few new XC race bikes propped up in the pits as the season starts, ready for a full release as the Paris Games get a little closer.
