Riders Of The Lost Art - Cycling Skills That Are Dying Out | The GCN Show Ep. 297
Welcome to the GCN Show - this week we’re filming in the Dolomites, in Alta Badia to be precise. Ollie is having a rest day after everesting on Sunday, clocking up 340km and 10,000m of climbing. Coming up, we discuss the lost art of cycling skills and we also have the fastest cycling ever.

This week in the world of cycling, we learn just prior to the World Championships who’s really the fastest bike rider in the world. Step forward Denise Mueller-Korenek who’s just clocked 183.9mph. That’s some impressive motorpacing! We also learned that Simon Yates can survive the last week of a Grand Tour after he smashed the last few days of the Vuelta in order to cement the overall victory.
Sticking with racing for a moment, but there’s been loads of talk of power meters changing the way riders race. We really wonder what would happen if you took power meters away. How many racers could still ride on feel? If you can’t see that you’re doing 400w, would you be more inclined to chase after an attack, rather than let it go because you know your rival can’t sustain it?
Another equipment related one, having to pedal really slowly to get up climbs. Back in the day, legends of the sport like Jacques Anquetil and Eddy Merckx were famed for powering up monstrous mountains with big gears. Compact chainsets didn’t exist and cassettes were much smaller too.
Do you think that these cycling skills are being lost? Let us know in the comments.
