The BikeRadar Podcast

Alastair Brownlee is best known as a two-time Olympic triathlon champion but, having missed out on this year’s Games in Tokyo, the Brit has turned his attention to gravel racing. Brownlee rode the 725km Badlands ultra-endurance race in southern Spain before being crowned as Britain’s first unofficial men’s gravel champion. In the latest episode of our BikeRadar Meets interview series, editor-in-chief George Scott chats to Brownlee about why he’s started gravel racing, his gravel bike setup and what’s next.

Having recently published his review of the new Orbea Orca Aero M10iLTD, senior technical writer, Simon Bromley, sits down with technical editor, Sam Challis, and digital writer, Stan Portus, to discuss his findings. Covering all the important points, such as the aero water bottle and downtube storage box, the overall weight and the extensive customisation options available through Orbea’s MyO programme, they round off the podcast with their thoughts on how the bike sits in the current market and whether any of them would be willing to part with their own cash to get their hands on one.
