Following Fran Ventoso's gruesome injury at Paris-Roubaix, the UCI has suspended testing of disc brakes in all road races. What do you think - is it the right call, or were they too hasty?
We've also got MORE speculation about motorised doping, after a
French TV channel reportedly found 7 bikes with hidden motors at high profile races. The question is - who would be crazy enough to try and fool the cycling world in light of the first scandal just a few months ago?
Elsewhere, we check out possibly the world's most eco-friendly bike and a 'smart' aero bike that has raised millions on KickStarter. And of course, we've got the best tweets, captions and comments in all of cycling.
