Why the 20mph zone time trial ban could be the “tip of the iceberg” for British racing + Chris Froome’s bike set-up mystery explained

Send us Fan MailCould the widespread implementation of 20mph speed limits across the UK spell the end of Britain’s long and venerable history of time trialling? On episode 65 of the road.cc Podcast, Ryan and Dan are joined by solicitor and club chairman Jonty Gordon to discuss Cycling Time Trials' recent refusal to sanction courses that feature 20mph zones, and the serious impact this new policy could have on clubs, courses, cyclists trying to get into the sport, and the future of racing on British roads in general.In part 2, Ryan sits down with professional bike fitter Luke Craddock, the owner and director of Synergy Performance, as they both try to wrap their heads around Chris Froome’s recent revelation that his current bike set-up is “centimetres apart” from his grand tour-winning Team Sky days. How has the four-time Tour de France winner’s set-up changed so much over the time and is it possible that it’s all an “oversight”? Or is an ageing Froome just making excuses?At the time of broadcast, our listeners can also get a free Hammerhead Heart Rate Monitor with the purchase of a Hammerhead Karoo 2.
