There’s been plenty going on at RoadCyclingUK over the last seven days, from a revealing chat with Team Sky’s bus driver and a tour of the ‘Deathstar’, to a retiring icon reflecting on his career.

We also received plenty more winter kit and a few new bikes to put through their paces, including more lights, and winter clothing.

The first of this year’s winter bike builds got under way and while the pros may be officially enjoying the off-season now, there was plenty of transfer action to excite us ahead of 2014, and a chance to asses the ten sprinters who left their mark on the 2013 season.

Missed any of our stories this week? Never fear! Enjoy this round-up of the best of the last seven days on RCUK.
