This week on The Wheelhouse, the UCI dropped a rulebook bomb—and we’re here to pick through the debris. From banned handlebars to gear limits and a crackdown on bike tech, riders are fuming and we’re asking… WTF, UCI?!
But it’s not all outrage. There’s also an Aussie lighting up the Giro Next Gen, a Tour de Suisse GC shake-up, and who will make the cut for July’s Tour de France.

🔧 UCI Rule Meltdown – Minimum handlebar widths, gear restrictions, fork limits, and tech bans.
🗣️ Reaction from riders: Amanda Spratt, Fisher-Black, van Dijk and fit experts fire back.
🇦🇺 Luke Tuckwell goes big at the U23 Giro – three days in pink, finishes 2nd overall.
🇨🇭 Tour de Suisse Recap – Almeida wins, Ben O’Connor stays steady, UAE looking stacked.
📋 Tour de France squad – Will UAE have too many cooks in the kitchen?
George Hincapie rejoins the Pro Tour – well, kinda.

Hit play, grab a handlebar that actually fits, and let’s unpack the week that was in pro cycling.
