This week, we discuss whether racing is getting too fast and dangerous BECAUSE of tech.

We also talk about exciting bits of hot tech, including a new high tech rain jersey, a tech debrief from Roubaix, AIRBAG shorts, comments of the week, Bike Vault and a competition where you have the chance to win a Topeak giveaway!
