This Sunday, I'm racing a full copy of a stage of the Tour de France. L'Étape du Tour 2026 170km, 5,400m, Croix de Fer, Galibier, and a finish at Alpe d'Huez the back way over the Sarenne. New video is up with the whole route preview, my pacing plan, and the bike I'm racing it on.

10,000 of you, just wow!
To celebrate, AliExpress has sponsored me to do a live unboxing stream. They've sent me a mountain of their best-selling cycling products to react to and give my opinions of live on stream.
📅 Monday 1st June, 9pm BST
I’ll also be doing a Q&A during the stream. Drop your questions below, could be about the channel, my racing, gear, training, AliExpress stuff, whatever you’ve been wondering. I’ll work through as many as I can during the stream.
See you Monday!

Possibly more work than the race itself, but the Gralloch edit is finally done and will be live tomorrow at 5pm.
However, members can get it right now! 👀

Sorry, you’ll have to wait till tomorrow for my dirty Reiver video. Chopping through 200km of footage, syncing power overlays, and recording voiceovers is taking far longer than I expected!

15 Hours of data gathered so far on the Thinkrider PP5 across a variety of terrain and sessions. I just can’t seem to break it or get it to drift at all no matter how hard I’ve tried. Not missed a beat and always been within 1% of my faveros even at the end of brutal vo2max sessions.
Caveat I can’t do more than a 1000w sprint so that’s the one thing I can’t test.
Video coming soon…
