As well as being an enormous physical challenge for the riders, Grand Tours pose an equally large logistical task for the teams and their support staff. For three weeks, the work practically never stops for chefs, mechanics and soigneurs. Bikes and team vehicles need to be cleaned and maintained every evening, and riders need to be cared for to extract maximum performance. Everyone also needs...

The 2023 Tour Down Under kicked off the WorldTour racing season last night with a prologue time trial. Given the impractical logistics and cost implications of shipping dedicated time trial bikes halfway around the world for a single, 5.5km stage, the race organisers decided to make it a road bike-only affair. As you might imagine, this led to some unusual tech choices. From disc wheels on road...

Built for the tarmac or the trail beyond, while road and gravel bikes share a lot in common, there are some more subtle differences that optimise them for different road and trail surfaces, as well as contrasting riding styles. These differences tend to exist on a spectrum, where road racing bikes are most dissimilar to burlier gravel bikes, and endurance road bikes and all-road bikes tend to...

You’d have to have been living under a rock to have missed the boom in gravel riding over recent years, but if you’re still pondering just what it is, or are even gravel-curious, here’s what you’re missing.

It’s almost falling apart, going mouldy and sometimes it lets in water, but after eight amazing years of use, I can’t do anything but praise my Coleman Cobra lightweight tent. The Cobra is billed as a lightweight tent aimed at bikepackers and hikers; at only 2kg, it’s definitely at the lower end of the weight spectrum for tents. Back in 2015, I was looking for a tent for a three-month,...

I’ve had my Páramo Velez Adventure Light smock for over six years and there is nothing I’d rather wear for cycle touring, gravel riding and pottering about on a bike in the rain.

Most recently, it performed flawlessly on a two-week tour around Scotland, protecting me from drookit weather while my...
