50mm Conti Dubnital, MVDP’s Nightmare & Why We Need More Races Like Roubaix! | BikeRadar Podcast

Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video feedbacksports.com

Jack and Simon are back for another edition of the BikeRadar podcast.

Hot off the heels of the 2026 Paris-Roubaix, there’s plenty to discuss, including Mathieu van der Poel’s nightmare in the Arenberg trench and Pogačar’s time aboard a blue Shimano neutral service bike.

First up, though, there’s the news that Continental has proved us wrong, with the launch of a 50mm / 2in Dubnital – a top XC race tyre downsized for use on gravel bikes.

Does Conti believe wider gravel tyres might actually be faster after all? We discuss.

Following that, Jack and Simon briefly cover the hottest cycling tech news from the week, including new GRX and CUES parts from Shimano, Panaracer’s latest racy gravel tyre and Colnago’s drool-worthy C72 superbike.

In our rant of the week, Simon argues pro cycling has much to learn from races like Paris-Roubaix, which pose a greater technical and physical challenge to riders and their bikes, than standard road races.

Could having more races with demanding parcours help with fan engagement? Simon certainly thinks so.
