Specialized Aethos 2, next-gen Shimano pedals leaked, UCI cost caps and more…

With drive going to both front and rear wheels, we thought Christini's new ebike was worth talking about.  We also delved in to the new Trek Domane AL, Rapha's inclusive Women's 100 campaign, and the oh-so-sexy Continental GP5000 Tan Wall tyres.
