Summary
This week on the Spin Cycle podcast, Caley, Kit, and Jonny discuss the UCI's proposed change to the 3K rule and the peloton's protest of the dangerous racing conditions at Tre Valli Varesine. Plus, discussion of Tadej Pogačar's first post-Worlds victory and subsequent hefting aloft of a giant mortadella.
We then pivot to a discussion of Strava's beta "Athlete Intelligence" feature, sharing humorous examples of its feedback and debating its purpose. Luke Rowe's surprising transfer from Ineos Grenadiers to Decathlon AG2R is analyzed, along with the controversy surrounding whether the Gravel World Championships were gravelly enough.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Spin Cycle Podcast, everybody. I'm Kayle Fritz. |
| 0:10.0 | Hello, I'm Johnny Long. I'm Kit Nicholson. And we got a great show for you today. |
| 0:15.1 | The UCI has rauglichified the three kilometer rule. Pagachar already won in rainbows. |
| 0:20.3 | Stravis robots are shaming people and we're headed back to Anyos Corner. |
| 0:25.0 | Let's get to chat about Tada Pagacha winning already in rainbow bands and in fact the I guess the sort of collective action the riders protesting just this |
| 0:44.7 | morning to not race Trey Valais al-Cisne. |
| 0:50.0 | But first and foremost we get a little UCI update. This is always top of the run sheet for us. |
| 0:55.0 | Kit, what happened here? The 3K rule is changing and I know this sounds like just a bit of sort of backroom Swiss admin here but it is kind of a it's an interesting change. |
| 1:07.2 | Yeah it's slightly muddy at the moment at least the what I've been able to find out about it and it still seems |
| 1:14.3 | to be in the rumor stages or the suggestion stages but it looks like there's a push to I mean we've |
| 1:20.0 | already seen the 3k rule change to a 4k rule in some instances and we're all very |
| 1:25.3 | familiar with how often appeals are made but as it stands at the moment if you |
| 1:29.8 | crash or get a puncture in the final 3k, you get the time of the group with which you were riding at the time of that incident. |
| 1:38.0 | So it's kind of a case of accident that wasn't your fault. |
| 1:41.0 | Don't get penalised for it as long as it's in the last 3K. So the proposed changes. |
| 1:45.6 | It's been framed around Roblish's incident in one of the mountain stages at the Tour de France. |
| 1:50.7 | When he hit a slick corner, a bit too hot, came down, lost a bunch of time. |
| 1:56.3 | He'd been with Remko Avernepool at the time. |
| 1:58.4 | And in the initial results at the finish, he'd lost a chunk, |
| 2:01.6 | but they were amended to the same time and so basically what it looks like it's going to be this proposed new change is that if you have an incident on your own then you may penalised, but if you're in a group, then you'll get the same rule as applies now. |
| 2:18.0 | So I think you can tell how confusing this could potentially be. |
| 2:22.0 | And the way that I read this is yeah so all very |
