The World’s Strongest Cyclists Don't Race Bikes | Crazy World of America’s Cup

The America's Cup is considered to be the oldest international sporting trophy in the world, dating back to 1851!

With that comes some iconic moments, such as Australia II winning it back in 1983 to the thunderous tune of Men at Work’s ‘Down Under’, breaking the 132 year win streak of the New York Yacht Club!

However, the New York Yacht Club looks to break their dry spell in an innovative way by using the best tech and individuals from the world of cycling!

Si goes on a deep dive on how the New York Yacht Club's 'American Magic' aims to accomplish this task!
