Episode Description from the Publisher

As the fastest Tour de France in history comes to a close, we ask the big question: has the race lost its status as the ultimate test of human endurance compared to the Transcontinental? We also dive into some of the strangest news of the week, from a Turkish governor losing his job over cycling kit to the heartbreaking story of a legal e-bike being destroyed by police. Plus, we look at new gravel shoes from Shimano, FiveDev's bike-merging tech, and another round of your wildest Hacks & Bodges.
