Description

This week, we're asking a controversial question: is the Tour de France still the ultimate test of human endurance? We dive into the history of the race, comparing the epic 14-hour stages of the past with the high-speed, high-intensity racing of today.

We also have the latest news from the Giro d'Italia Women, including a controversial fine for race contender Marlen Reusser. We'll check out Tom Pidcock's latest MTB win, some wild new tech from the Tour, and discuss the mind-boggling number of speeding fines issued by San Francisco's new speed cameras.

Plus, we have the first-ever video reply to a bodge, your comments, and the caption competition!
