Jack Luke and Josh Evans are currently sunning themselves in Adelaide, working hard to bring us all the gossip from the 2019 Tour Down Under. In this video, Jack gives us the lowdown on the hottest new road tech they’ve spotted on the front lines.

Feast your eyes on the latest tech we've spotted at the Tour Down Under

Among the new tech seen so far, Jack discusses SRAM’s new 12-speed eTap with its 10-tooth small cog, as well as Campagnolo’s unreleased 12-speed EPS groupset, which a number of teams are racing.

On top of this, the guys spotted an unspecified lightweight climbing shoe from Specialized, along with a new lace-up shoe from Rapha.

Finally, Jack walks us through the new POC Ventral Air helmet, which in his words, is perfect for the temperatures they’re enduring in Oz right now.

It’s a hard job working in all that sunshine while the rest of us in the northern hemisphere try to thaw out… but someone’s got to do it.

Mildred’s a utilitarian cyclist at heart, determined to do everything on two wheels, whether it’s shopping, commuting or moving house. She’s spent the past three years volunteering as a mechanic and workshop coordinator at the Bristol Bike Project, and now sits on its board of directors. Her expertise in bikes — and what people want out of them — comes from working in real-world bike shops and learning the ins and outs of the industry. At home on slicks and knobblies alike, Mildred’s ideal ride covers long distances through remote countryside, on mixed terrain that offers a bit of crunch. She’s easily won over by steel frames coupled with a 650B/plus-tyre combo, and is currently riding a Surly Bridge Club.
