Professor of Maths Michael Slawinski has been researching cycling performance — and he thinks math could be the key to beating Tadej Pogačar. This week, we dive into what the numbers say & explain how it might actually work. Is math really all it takes to beat Pog?! 👀
Plus, we've got a new MET aero helmet, a new Winspace aero bike, a Canyon concept bike, Comments of the Week, Conor's gubbins, and MUCH more! 🙌
