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

    Pogačar BEATEN by an amateur!? €1k Campagnolo upgrades, the world’s longest wheelie and more
    Oct 17 2025
    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.

    Bike theft decriminalised? Plus NEW Shimano groupset, UCI helmet rules and more…
    Oct 10 2025
    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. First up, Jack and Simon discuss the UCI’s recently updated helmet regulations for the 2026 road racing season. As all too often, the updated rules appear to leave plenty of room for riders and teams to be creative – or perhaps even to keep using certain time trial helmets in road races. They then discuss Shimano’s new polished-silver CUES groupset – could it be a sign of more shiny things to come from the Japanese component giant? Following that, Jack grills Simon on the latest piece in his series on the ‘state of play’ in hookless rims, and why the professional rider’s union wants to see them banned. Lastly, Jack introduces last week’s top-performing story on BikeRadar – which also happens to be his ‘rant of the week’ – which was the news that the British Transport Police will not investigate bike thefts at train stations where the bike has been left for more than two hours. Needless to say, Jack and Simon aren’t impressed. The UCI has just clarified its new helmet regulations – but it's left me with more questions than a… Is this polished-silver CUES groupset a sign Shimano is finally listening to riders?
