Hot Or Not 2025 Tour de France Tech | GCN Tech Show 396

The Tour de France is in full swing, and that means it's time to dive into the best, the worst, and the weirdest tech on display. From Primož Roglič's controversial ankle socks to the great mountain time trial debate, we're picking apart all the key tech trends from the world's biggest race.
We'll also look at why Tadej Pogačar is so dominant, the truth about paint weight, and whether nose strips actually work.
PLUS, in Hot Tech, we've got some insanely expensive wheels from Lightweight and some speedy new inner tubes from Pirelli that get incredibly close to tubeless performance.

All that, plus your hilarious comments and another round of the Bike Vault!
