This week on the GCN Show, we weigh up the risks of riding to ask: does cycling always have to be dangerous? We also take a first look at the new 2026 World Tour team kits, break down Tadej Pogačar's surprisingly light race schedule ahead of the Tour, and catch up on Mathieu van der Poel's return to cyclocross. Plus, we have all your usual favorites including Hack or Bodge and a fresh Caption Competition.
