Si & Ollie are back for another edition of retro vs modern, this time riding the Giant MCR, a road bike so forward-thinking it was banned by the UCI. With a carbon monocoque frame design, it was the original mass-produced aero road bike back in 1997. We pitted it against a modern Pinarello F to find out just how fast this retro aero machine is compared to today’s engineering.
The UCI have once again updated their pesky rules, and Ollie and Alex have taken a deep dive into them. New handlebar limits, helmet size regulations and more are in store for the pros in 2023, but can they be cheated? We discuss this, plus all the usual Tech Show segments!
