AusCycling’s engineering director on the secret behind Jumbo-Visma’s Tour wins and track tech trends

In between seeking out new tech and eating the finest fayre of his home nation, deputy editor Jack Luke enjoyed the track racing action at the 2023 World Championships in Glasgow.  Sunday found him watching the qualifications for the men’s elite individual pursuit, where Australia’s Conor Leahy put in a storming effort onboard an unreleased Factor track bike, seeding sixth ahead of the final event. This led to some enthusiastic cheering from a group of Australians in the stands, and who should be in their midst but Paul Collins – the technical director for the Australian cycling team.  In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, we hear what Collins thinks could be behind Jumbo-Visma’s success at the 2023 Men’s Tour de France and the hottest trends in track tech today.
