  • The 1% Lie? Inside Team Sky’s Rise
    Mar 24 2026

    In 2010, Dave Brailsford launched Team Sky with a promise no one in professional cycling had ever dared to make: they would win the Tour de France within five years, with a clean British rider. His method? Relentless 1% improvements in everything the team touched. They called it “marginal gains” — and as fans, we bought in. Within three years, they’d won the Tour. Within a decade, they’d won it seven times. But questions still linger… including why the team doctor ordered testosterone to team headquarters.

  • Fake Bikes, Dirty Supplements, and the $1.4B Bike Theft Industry
    Mar 16 2026

    Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026


    This week we dive into cycling’s hidden underground economy. From counterfeit carbon frames that look identical to top-tier bikes—but could fail catastrophically—to contaminated supplements that might get you banned without you ever knowing, and the organised crime rings stealing and exporting thousands of bikes every year. What started as one suspicious online listing quickly turned into a deep rabbit hole involving lab tests, anti-doping rules, and even FBI investigations. If you ride, race, or spend money on bikes and gear, this episode will change how you think about where your equipment—and your nutrition—really comes from
