This week, Dan & Si cover the pro cycling arms race, which is real and gaining pace! This isn't a race anymore just for the best and most talented riders, but for the best coaches, aerodynamicists, minds & equipment. Dan & Si also dive into how this arms race might not actually be good news for the rest of us though...

They also cover Mark Cavendish's aikido skills, how you can get arrested for cycling and using your phone in Japan, bike brands working to limit their carbon footprint, a competition to win a CORE heat sensor and much more!
