Who is Faster: Si Richardson or the World’s Strongest Cyclist?

Si Richardson is intrigued by the idea of how muscle power translates to speed on the track. To answer this question, he decides to take on the formidable Giant from the UK TV series Gladiators in a head-to-head cycling race at the velodrome.

Giant is an imposing figure, standing at 6ft 5in and weighing 136kg. He has impressive strength stats, being able to squat 220kg and bench press 200kg. However, Si brings his cycling experience and determination to the challenge, having even done a couple of chin-ups around Christmas time.

The racing format is simple yet intense. The first challenge is a sprint test over 250m from a standing start, followed by a head-to-head sprint covering two laps around the track. The final challenge is a five-lap scratch race, testing both power and endurance on the track.

The races are a pure test of physical power and determination with no external factors influencing the outcome. Si and Giant go head-to-head to see who will come out on top in this ultimate power battle on the velodrome.
