• Pogačar BEATEN by an amateur!? €1k Campagnolo upgrades, the world’s longest wheelie and more

  On this week’s episode of the BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is again joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the biggest tech stories in cycling this week.   We open the show with the news that Tadej Pogačar has finally been beaten in a bike race by none other than friend of BikeRadar, four-time British national hill climb champion, and full-time lawyer, Andrew Feather.   After recounting Feather’s incredible ride at the Pogi Challenge charity ride in Slovenia, Simon recalls the time he got to spend watching Andrew posting some outrageous stats in a Bath university performance lab, back in 2019.   Next up, Simon reveals all about Campagnolo’s newly released Ultra components – a suite of eye-wateringly expensive upgrades for the Italian brand’s Super Record 13 groupset, which cut a whopping 81g from the already-very-lightweight groupset.   Jack and Simon then discuss the new world record for the longest continuous wheelie on a bicycle – which now sits at an outrageous 93.45 miles / 150.4km – and whether Strava might be becoming irrelevant.   Lastly, Jack takes the lead on our ‘rant of the week’, with the view that bikes are far easier to maintain than cars – and information far more readily available – and so bike mechanics should probably stop moaning so much.   Pogačar beaten by 40-year-old lawyer in Pogi Challenge charity ride Campagnolo's €990 Ultra component package cuts 81g from its Super Record 13 groupset Strava is becoming irrelevant – I use this free app instead Man wheelies bike for 93 miles, destroying world record Learn more about your ad choices.
