The film takes viewers away from the race venues to explore the training routes around Antwerp and Moraira, where Van der Poel trains.

The Tucker III 2Vi Mips combines cutting-edge aerodynamic engineering, lightweight construction, and race-validated safety technology, emphasizing safety, comfort, and speed for enhanced performance.

The Tissot Pinarello DOGMA F features an exclusive matt-carbon colorway with purple and mirror decals. This custom paint finds its way onto the Zipp WH454 NSW wheels.

The Hoot Steel is designed to run a 140mm suspension fork standard, but it has compatibility for 150mm forks without major geometry changes, ensuring versatility for riders.

The SP5+ is considered a fitness-focused electric bike with an aluminum frame, carbon fork, one-piece aluminum stem/bar, and aluminum wheels. The frame houses a Branta-branded XDS Mid-Drive X800 motor with 250-watt maximum continuous rated power, and 400 watt peak power, and 85Nm of torque.

The Crankbrothers Stamp pedals have always been one of my favorites, so when the brand dropped the info on the latest Stamp pedal, I was keen to give them a shot. Making the move from clips to flat pedals with the Crankbrothers Stamp Evo has been a refreshing change, enhancing my bike-handling skills.

The SHIFT pedals offer a massive 1,201 mm² platform with lots of grip and an adjustable Q-factor, something that is the standout on the CTRL, ALT, and DEL pedals.

Surly describes the new Sorceress as a 'progressive hardtail built for ever-evolving trails and the humanoids who can't get enough of them.' The frame's design emphasizes low standover height and maximized dropper post travel to enhance rider comfort and control across different body types.

Pogacar stated, 'The signal for them to stop came in too late. Suddenly three guys jump on the middle of the road and start waving to stop. How can you stop in one second?'

Race Face's Turbine stem has been a popular choice for years, with several lengths and a range of anodized colors to choose from. The new 'standard' Turbine follows in the SL's aesthetic footsteps, with a similar, squared-off, and more angular design.

The Laget Aero One is a super custom bike that's going to cost you a lot of money. It isn't cheap or easy to make, with complex outer shapes and thin cross sections.

The 32" tire started with a simple concept. Can it make top level XC racers faster in a real race situation? Our short tests have been pretty inconclusive. From what we've heard, it feels a tiny bit slower, yet it is incrementally quicker. That's great for an elite racer, but less so for my relatively slow rides.

Confidence in the bicycle industry is on an upturn after several years of decline, with an average rating of 4.99 out of 10, indicating cautious optimism.

The Trek-Unbroken prototype is a clear signal that the '80mm of travel is enough' era of cross-country racing has officially been put to pasture.

While most modern competitions recruit riders with similar skillsets and design courses to suit them, Natural Selection flips the script. By drawing riders from a wide range of backgrounds, NST creates a format that values creativity and individuality as much as technical execution. It is one of the few competitions where the structure of the contest comes secondary to the riders themselves.
