Description
In this week's GCN Tech Show, we dive deep into the mind-blowing technology and engineering that powered Jonathan Milan to break the Individual Pursuit World Record. We compare his setup with historic record-breakers like Bradley Wiggins to see how skinsuits, gearing, position, and bike tech have transformed track cycling over the years. Plus, we check out ultra-lightweight tech, including 19g bar tape, titanium bolt kits, and a special-edition Pogacar Continental tyre!
