E-bikes might be a threat to cycling but the reason why might not be what you think. The real issue is that powerful motorbikes are being lumped together with everyday, well-regulated e-bikes. This confusion is causing a real friction, especially on cycling paths shared with pedestrians. What's the solution?

However, this Tour has also shown us that power alone cannot guarantee great performances, as the gravel stage slowed down the peloton due to many riders not having the 'skill' to find the right lines!
Dan and Si also go on to discuss some ridiculous fines imposed by the UCI at this Tour de France!
