Have We Reached Peak Wheel Sucker? | GCN Show Ep.682

In this week's GCN Show, we dive into the controversial training crash of Jonas Vingegaard and the heated debate around "wheel sucking" etiquette on public roads. We also celebrate Mathieu van der Poel's historic 8th world title and discuss the massive cleanup on Strava that saw millions of incorrectly categorized activities deleted.
