- From the hills of Catalonia, welcome to the GCN show.
- Welcome to the GCN show, brought to you by Wiggle.
- We'll keep this brief, because we've so much
in this show this week.
Chris Froome, yeah.
Our own Emma and Chris are at the Maratona,
Joel is in London at the launch of his Zwift Academy.
We've got loads of new tech,
including the brand-new, first-ever aero road bike,
from Cannondale, the SystemSix.
- And we are doing more science, but this time
we need your help.
More on that coming up later on.
- Yeah, Dan, I'm pretty sure we're behind
schedule already, mate.
- We are, and we haven't even said
we've got another new presenter!
(upbeat rock music)
This week in the world of cycling, we learnt
that Peter Sagan is marketing gold.
We have never been excited
about receiving a shower head before, have we?
- Nope.
- But then again, we have never received
a special edition Hansgrohe Peter Sagan
monogrammed shower head.
- Oh yeah.
Imagine Dan, when Sagan, or if Sagan wins Olympic gold.
- Golden shower. - Yeah.
Now, that wouldn't be for me, but I imagine there are
some people out there that would pay for it.
- Yeah, some people will pay for anything, won't they?
Now, we also learnt this week that the ASO weren't too happy
about the prospect of reigning champion, Chris Froome,
riding in the Tour de France.
They made an attempt on Sunday to block him
from riding in this year's event.
- They did, but then we also learned this week
that Chris Froome will be racing the Tour de France
because the UCI have dropped their proceedings against him,
clearing him to race because he's innocent.
- Yeah. Now surely we don't need to explain what this
is all about, but if you happen to have been living
under a rock for the last few months, this of course,
relates to the Salbutamol case, whereby he returned
adverse analytical findings for the drug
at last year's Vuelta Hispania.
It's not a banned drug, although it is if you
go over a certain limit.
- And Froome's sample was twice the legal limit.
He posted 2,000 nanograms as opposed
to just 1,000 nanograms.
Now, that doesn't constitute a positive test,
but nevertheless, it was a test that he had to explain.
And boy, did he try and explain it.
Apparently, Froome's legal team submitted 1,500 pages
to the UCI on the 4th of June.
And so fair play to the UCI, they've actually moved
quite quickly on this, I think.
Just under one month later, they and the World
Anti-Doping Agency have concluded that Froome
did not post an adverse analytical finding.
- So that's that.
Effectively, Froome has been cleared and he's now free
to race, as he has been, in fact, through this decision.
He left for lineup on Saturday, because ASO have got
no reason to block him from the Tour de France,
in an attempt to win his fifth Tour de France
and his fourth Grand Tour in a row.
- Yeah, but despite a line thoroughly being drawn
under this case, I suspect things are going to rumble
on and on and on, particularly because actually,
right now, as we film this, there is a frustrating
lack of detail from the UCI as to just what
in those 1,500 pages prompted to them to say that Froome
had done nothing wrong.
- Yeah, it would be interesting to see, wouldn't it?
Because logic does suggest that given the presidents
of people like Alessandro Petacchi and Diego Ulissi,
who posted Salbutamol above the limit but less than Froome's
they were served bans, and so logic would suggest
that Froome was almost inevitably gonna get a ban.
- Well yeah, a lot of people were saying that, weren't they,
the past few month, but what we didn't know,
and what we still don't know, is how many other riders,
how many other athletes have been in Froome's situation
and been exonerated, but we never knew about it,
because in Froome's case, well, the only reason we know
about Froome's case, was that it was leaked.
It should have been a process that was conducted
behind closed doors.
That was the correct and fair way of doing it.
So how many others have been--
- Well, we have heard rumors, though, haven't we?
- Oh, we have.
- That rumor is that the Froome lawyers did,
through investigations during this, find upward
of ten other athletes, who went through something
very similar to Chris Froome, except for the case
that it wasn't done with the public eye,
because it was done behind closed doors.
- Yeah, now we stress that this is very much a rumor.
We cannot confirm nor deny it,
but wouldn't it be interesting to know?
I mean, we will inevitably find out more details, I'm sure,
as time goes on.
But in the meantime, we want to know your thoughts
about this, because I'm sure for many, you're going to be
breathing a sigh of relief.
For others, I just imagine probably outright anger.
So make sure you get involved in the comments section.
Keep it civil.
After all, we're all cycling fans at the end of the day.
But also, why not, take part in the poll just up there.
Are you happy with this decision, or are you sad?
- Hm, interested to hear your thoughts.
- Pleased, angry.
- As mentioned at the top of the show,
GCN is about to do some more signs,
but this time, we need your help.
- We do, we are investigating whether or not cycling
is actually bad for your sexual health.
Now, there is a lot of research out there already.
But most of it's sort of rubbish.
- Bollocks.
- Well, that is actually a good point, yeah.
Because clearly, the issues here are going to be
distinctly different between men and women.
So in this first instance, we are gonna be asking
the male part of our audience to take part
in the questionnaire.
We will have a documentary on this subject coming up
in a few weeks.
And we're going to tackle three problem areas.
So, penile numbness, erectile dysfunction,
and prostate-related problems.
So what specifically are the issues?
What should you be concerned about?
What should you seek help with?
And indeed, is there a thing that's less important?
- Hm, so this is where you lot come in,
because to the best of our knowledge, no one has ever
really surveyed a large group of genuine cyclists,
like you lot out there.
How much do you actually ride your bike,
and have you ever had these issues, or do you
continue to have these issues that Si has just mentioned.
And is there a correlation between those two points?
Yeah, I mean, it's such an important subject, isn't it?
Because in respect to the outcome of the survey,
people do have problems in this department.
And equally, men typically, I mean, we're just a bit crap,
aren't we, at confronting our health-related issues.
So crap, in fact, that that's one of the reasons
why we live less long than women.
That's apparently one of the reasons...(crosstalk)
- Is it? - Apparently so, yeah.
- I didn't know that. - Yep.
- All right, so please do get involved in the questionnaire.
To do it, what you've got to do is follow the link
in the description below this video.
All the data we receive will be completely anonymized,
don't worry about that.
And if nothing else, you'll be helping us to do
some proper science.
- That's right.
But you say us.
We've got a proper scientist.
In this one, yeah, so actually, a top urologist,
a top surgeon, who is a super king cyclist,
and also an Iron Man, but we don't hold that against him.
- Now, if you need any extra incentive to get involved
beyond the fact that you might well be helping out
some fellow cyclists, then our friends over at Physique
have kindly offered to give away four of their saddles
to people that take this survey, who will be chosen
at random. - Yeah.
And it's a subject close to their hearts.
Although, we stress that there are no commercial ties
in this whatsoever.
- No, not at all.
So, please get involved in the link in the description
below this video.
And then we'll repeat this process a little bit further
down the line for our female audience.
Yeah, indeed.
And make sure you share this survey out
as well to your mates.
(trumpet plays "Taps")
- It's now time for Cycling Shorts.
- Cycling Shorts now, and let us take the opportunity
to remind you that we've launched a new channel,
GCN en Espanol.
Same talking thoughts, different language.
(upbeat music)
(speaking foreign language)
- Your feedback on this has been absolutely brilliant
so far, so thank you all for that.
And also, for your help in getting the word out there
to Spanish speakers of us.
And if you haven't already shared it with your
Spanish speaking friends, please do so.
- Yeah, and some brilliant comments,
overwhelmingly positive.
This one, though, Dan, did jump out for me.
From Aleksander R, he says, "Oscar looks great..."
And there's no arguing that.
I mean, he does look great, doesn't he?
Actually, that reminds me of another comment that points out
that Oscar has the best hair on GCN.
- I did see that.
Hard to argue, to be fair.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm glad you said that, Dan,
because yep, I mean...
Anyway, moving swiftly on, Aleksander R then also
goes on to say, why do we need the same videos
in a different language?
- Tough one to answer, that, isn't it?
But we've broken it down.
The reason is for people that like cycling
that speak Spanish and don't speak any English.
It's for them. - Yeah, yeah.
I suppose that makes sense when you put it like that.
- We should also stress that we're not just making
exactly the same videos in Spanish.
We're making fresh, new videos of Oscar
and any other presenters that we get on.
And so if you haven't already subscribed, and you're a
Spanish-speaker, you can subscribe now,
by clicking on the globe that's on the screen.
- [Simon] Yeah, and let's say, Dan, that the announcements
do not stop there, do they?
- No.
- We've got another one.
Please would you welcome (drum roll)
Ollie Bridgewood. (cymbal crash)
(audience cheering)
- Welcome, Ollie Bridgewood.
The addition of Ollie to our team bolsters
our presenting lineup even further.
We are clearly on a mission when it comes to
creating great cycling video, and that momentum
is gathering pace.
Ollie will, amongst other things, be creating
some in-depth features, but brings with him
a wealth of experience, and along with that,
some pretty impressive scientific credentials.
- That's right, just so you know, you lot
have been enjoying watching Emma do proper science,
basically, so much, that we've actually had to recruit
another proper scientist.
So with Ollie, we've not got our second Ph.D on the team.
- Thanks, guys.
I can't wait to get stuck in, especially seeing as this week
we're going to be going to Spain for the big
presenter challenge.
(Simon shushes)
- Just (clears throat) keep that on under wraps.
- I didn't know it was a secret.
- That's...
- Then at the weekend, it's EuroBike.
- Yeah, it's the biggest tech bonanza going.
- That's right, yeah, Ollie and I are heading out
to Germany for that one.
I can't wait.
There's going to be some gems, I can feel it now.
- Yeah, really looking forward to that.
And then, we're going to be comparing a super bike
versus a hyper bike.
Apparently, hyper bikes do exist, I can't wait for that.
And I'm also going to be doing an Everesting challenge,
an Everesting attempt as well. - You are.
Yeah, that was at the very start, really, wasn't it.
The ideas that we had that we didn't really
want to do ourselves.
Welcome, Ollie.
- Yeah, that's right, you've definitely got your work
cut out, Ollie, but yeah, great to have you aboard.
Hey, thinking cutting work, actually,
Emma and Chris have out initially, riding the Maratona,
and I believe they've got something for us.
- Cheers, guys. Welcome back to Alta Badia,
where we've just finished the Maratona.
- [Emma] We're a little bit tired, I think,
but very happy after eight beautiful days of cycling.
In the sunshine, yeah? There was sunshine?
- [Chris] Yeah, it was sunny all day.
- In fact, I think I might have toasted my forehead.
But nevermind, it was really fun.
The mountains were beautiful, the people were lovely.
- [Chris] Yeah, good food, good drinks.
- [Emma] The linzer torte was so good that I ate
too much in Pelswick.
- And the best bit was the descents, absolutely.
- Yeah, I took them a little bit more cautiously.
- Yeah, unfortunately, you didn't take the climbs
that cautiously. - I did!
They were lovely, gently rolling up.
- [Chris] There was no gentle about it.
- [Emma] It was great, chatting, we met some nice people.
- We also saw Big Meg, got to interview her.
- Yeah, he gave me a chair at one climb.
- Eddie Merckx.
- Yeah, he was not riding. - No.
- Saw Elia Viviani, who had incredibly, raced and won
the Italian National Championships yesterday,
got here at midnight, and yeah, got up at five to ride.
And you can watch the whole interview with him at the time.
- What a way to celebrate.
- Yeah, I don't have the jersey yet.
The don't do tonight.
But it's my first official...
I don't know. - Race?
- Yeah, race, with a national attempt.
- You look a bit tired.
- Got here yesterday night at midnight thirty,
so this morning, the wake up is 5:10, 5:15?
- That's quite late, I got up at 4:30.
- Uh yeah, I'm lucky, so...
I do some little bit of breakfast, then I'm here.
But I do just the short one.
- Oh, okay. - Just four climbs.
- Did we see anyone else out there today?
- Oh yeah, we did.
We saw a couple of Skyriders, although pros on the team,
I think it was Belsford and one of their riders, Ortiz.
- [Chris] Yeah, they were trying pretty hard.
- They were quiet on the climb when I passed them.
Maybe they were breathing deeply, or maybe their minds
were elsewhere with this current Froome case.
I'm a bit surprised they had time to ride this body.
- [Chris] I can never just focus on the ride.
That's a tough one.
- It was a tough one, now.
That's why I felt sick.
- That was all right, then.
- It's nice over there, yeah.
- So stay tuned, because a full video on their exploits
is going to be coming out soon.
But now we're going to see what Jon Cannings is up to
over at the Zwift Academy launch.
- Yep, that's right, I'm here in London,
and for once, it's not absolutely chucking
it down with rain.
Although it is a little bit windy.
However, why am I here?
I'm here for the launch of this year's Zwift Academy,
where riders get to train and race from the comfort,
or kind of comfort of their own home on a home trainer,
with a chance of becoming a professional bike rider.
Now, some of you will remember Lloydy last year.
He visited the Team Dimension Data training camp,
where he announced the winner of that place.
And yeah, Ollie the winner last year is here
as well as Leah, who was the inaugural winner
of the women's Zwift Academy.
And details of how you can join the Zwift Academy
trial process are in the description beneath.
Now, I'm going to go find out how those riders
have got on with becoming a professional cyclist.
So I'm here with the inaugural winner of the Zwift Academy,
Leah Torvilson.
Now Leah, do you have any tips for potential candidates
going forward if they want to become pro?
- As far as tips for the Zwift Academy?
I would say enjoy the process,
get to know the Zwift community,
just put your personality out there.
When I say that, I don't mean to be somebody you're not,
but just, everybody has their own qualities
on and off the bike, so get to know the people
and really enjoy it.
- I'm here with the winner of last year's Zwift Academy,
Ollie Jones.
And a belated congratulations.
How's the season been for you?
- The season's been great.
I mean, moving into the new house in Luca,
moving away from the family back in New Zealand.
That was a big step for me.
But I've had a couple of crashes and little injuries
here and there this season, but it's all part of racing.
On the whole, I've had a really good time,
and we're about halfway through the season at the moment.
I'm feeling really good to give the second half
of the season a really good shot.
- We should finish Cycling Shorts by sending our best wishes
to the German track star Christina Vogel,
who crashed really badly in training
and reportedly suffered spinal injuries.
- Thankfully, although she's still in intensive care,
she is now at least stable.
But like Si said, it did sound pretty nasty
what happened to her there.
So GCN send the best wishes, and we hope you have
the speediest recovery possible.
- Yep. - Yep, seconded.
Thirded. - Thirded probably, yeah.
- But I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go now,
because I'm going to go fit a 32 cassette on ready
for the hang--
- Hey! (shushes)
Hey, we'll keep that quiet, man.
- Secret. - Bye, mate.
- If you find a level 36 for me, I'll take it.
- You check my battery's charged.
(Simon laughs)
GCN Wiggle of Fortune coming up for you right now.
Your chance to win one of four Wiggle vouchers
to spend on anything you wish over on their online shop.
Prize four, 25 pounds, prize three 50,
prize two is 75 pounds.
And the big one, which was won last week.
I watched, you were absent.
150 pounds, the prize won.
- [Simon] I thought the big one was the beer.
- [Dan] Well it is, yeah.
- The one chance Dan gets to win a beer each week.
- Yes right, who do we have as our contestant this week, Si?
- It is Gavin Dempster. (audience applause)
- Right right then. - Good luck to you.
- Best of luck, Gavin.
We are going to start in three, in two, in one.
And we are off.
Ah then, wheel of fortune.
- [Simon] Will it land for two weeks on the trots,
or will it be the second beer in three weeks?
- Oh, beer's been and gone, that was close.
- Three, two.. - It's looking good!
- Is it gonna go to... - Oh!
- [Dan] It is one again!
- 150 big ones!
Man, what a bonus!
- I was about to say, what are the chances of that,
but I think as somebody did point out in the comment
the other day, every week is exactly the same chance
of getting one of these prizes.
So there you go, 150 pounds, winging its way to you, Gav.
Make sure you let us know what you spend that money on
over on the Wiggle online shop.
You can get quite a lot over there for 150 quid.
- Crikey, yeah you can.
Tech of the week now, and albeit it's very stealth,
and Dan, I think you can attest to this,
a very effective ebike has just been pimped out
for summer 2018.
- [Dan] It has indeed.
It weighs in at just 11.31 kilograms, and it's called
Orbea Gain Carbon.
And now this bike has the motor at the rear hub.
That will provide an extra 250 watts of assistance
when you need it.
And at 250 watts, the battery allows it to last
for up to an hour.
Now let's make this clear, this isn't designed to be
at the Moped end of the spectrum when it comes to ebikes,
even if I might have made it look like one when I rode it.
- [Simon] (laughs) Did you really, Dan?
- [Dan] I did.
- [Simon] It's called Just Enough, and the idea is that
it looks like a road bike, which it does.
And it rides like a road bike, which I believe it does.
But then it just gives you a little helping hand
for when you need it.
- Yeah. - Most of the time?
- I absolutely loved it.
Being just 11.3 kilograms, though, it does kind of
feel like the new frontier of ebikes.
Although, the more traditional and familiar
style of ebike is still moving forward
at a quite rapid rate.
- [Simon] That's right, BMC just released a new one
called the Alpenchallenge AMP range.
And that is weightier; it's 14 kilos.
But you get double the torque for the motor
and double the capacity from the battery.
So that very much is on the more ebike end of spectrum,
not road bike with a helping hand.
And to be fair, the flat bars on there will probably
attest to that intended use.
- Bit of a giveaway. - Yeah.
- Yes, also last week, we, or at least Si here,
was privileged to get a first look at the brand new
Cannondale SystemSix Aero road bike.
The full bit of that is over on the tech channel,
but in the meantime, here is a quick sneak peek.
Si assures me it's incredibly fast,
even without a motor.
- Hopefully it looked quite fast.
(calm hip-hop music)
It's called the SystemSix, and Cannondale fans
might remember, there was a bike with this name
back in the mid-naughties.
But make no mistake, this one is all new.
- This week's pro racing has mainly been centered around
the remaining national championships,
most of them in Europe.
Summer has been a pretty greedy side,
Mathieu van der Poel and Jolanda Neff are not content
with winning titles off-road.
They've added the road titles in their respective
nations, too.
- Can't condone that kind of behavior, can we?
- No. Anyway, for all of the detail on those national
championships, check out our GCN racing news show.
- Yeah, please do.
In other racing news, probably the biggest news of the week,
in fact, was that Warren Barguil's team
at Fortuneo-Samsic have changed bike sponsors
just two weeks out from the Tour de France.
They've parted companies with Look and gone
with someone else.
They have; step forward, buh-ash.
Yes, BH. - B'ash!
- [Dan] BH in English.
It's the mechanics, though, that I feel sorry for here.
And it's a strange one anyway, but they now have to
build up bikes for the Tour de France.
There are eight riders.
Each one's going to have a main bike, a spare bike,
probably another spare bike, a tantra bike,
and probably a spare tantra bike.
At least five bikes each, eight riders.
That's 40 bikes.
- Great maths, Dan, but it might even be worse than that.
Because they'll probably have an aero bike
and a lightweight bike, won't they?
- True. - So, we're looking at
maybe 50, 60 bikes.
- I hope they get paid overtime.
- [Simon] Yeah, and tell you what, if anybody was trying
to buy (mumbles) group setting in France at the moment,
you'd be waiting a long, long time, wouldn't you?
And now, last week, we asked you whether or not you
would take Caleb Ewan into the Tour de France
as part of your team.
You voted, and 56% of you said you would.
So obviously, we'll forward those results over
onto the Mitchelton-Scott team.
And it probably won't do any good.
But nevertheless, small consolation there for Caleb.
- Yeah, I'll forward it to Caleb.
He'll be pleased with that.
- Yeah, he will, yeah.
Well, maybe not 56%, it's not overwhelming.
(both laugh)
- It's time for a new giveaway.
This week, we have two pairs of Raptor Smart Glasses
to give away, coming from Everysight.
Yeah, let's look at those.
Can I try on one of them?
Right now, if you haven't seen Dan's video,
a first look at the Raptor glasses from late last year,
then let me fill you in.
Because effectively, they give you a heads up display
of all your essential ride data.
They've also got a GPS function.
They've got a built in GPS in them, haven't they?
And if that's not enough, they can also take pictures
and HD video with a built in camera and built in storage.
And conveniently as well, for now, they're also acting
as an auto cue as I speak. - They're not.
- So yeah, yeah, so this is all completely scripted, Dan.
And actually, I'm just reading it off.
(crosstalk)
I know, it's weird, isn't it?
- [Dan] I could actually watch my video.
- Yeah, I have, and weird that I can predict,
like in the script what we've just talked about.
- You can also link them up with your smart phone,
and after that, you can read messages, if you want.
Also you can upload workouts through your Raptor sunglasses,
which means you can see what interval you need to do next,
whatever your coach prescribed, and also where you're
actually meeting the power demands as you go along.
As I mentioned, we've got two pairs to give away
to two lucky winners.
How to get involved and put yourself in them with a chance
of winning, simply head to the link which is in
the description below.
- Yeah now, we've also got some results for you this week.
We've got the results from the Continental Tour de France
Limited Edition Grand Prix 4000 RS Tires.
Five winners for you.
I'm going to have to take these off, because believe it
or not, they're not actually in auto cue.
I was just fibbing there.
So we're going to have to read off the winners.
First up, Graeme Carruthers from Great Britain.
- Nicole Hogue from the US.
- Gareth Davies from Great Britain as well.
- Ah, I didn't practice this beforehand.
And it's a Swedish name, it is Anders Odmyr.
- You know if you put these on, they'll tell you
how to pronounce it.
- And finally Jo Earrey from Great Britain.
Well done to all of you.
If we haven't already, we will be in contact.
Let you know that you've won and get your
continental tires straight out to you.
- Yeah, and remember as well, you've definitely got to
enter this competition, because that's a seriously
cool bit of tech, isn't it?
(screwdriver grinding)
- Next up, hack, forward slash, bodge of the week.
Now first up it is rather hot in a few places around
the world at the moment as we are finding out at the set
right now.
To combat the heat inside his Velas, James Cornelius
has wrapped tinfoil around his bottles there
top stop them from getting too hot presumably.
- [Simon] Well, I'm going to say, Dan, in respect
to whether it works or not, feels like a bit of a bodge.
- It looks like a bodge.
I would imagine you would rip that foil off as soon as
you try to remove your bottle from the cage.
There are thermal bottles out there.
- [Simon] There are indeed, yeah.
- They do keep your water or energy drink cool
for a bit longer than a normal bottle.
- Yeah okay, so first up, bodge.
Sorry about that.
Next up, we've got this from aaronterrazas.
"I've been tinkering, this tie I decided to paint
"My kedgebike mount the same color as my bike.
"Does that count as a hack?"
Uh... - It looks good.
- It does look good, but I don't know.
I don't know if this was a hack.
It's kinda cool.
- [Dan] What you need, though, is the special edition Wahoo
in red, the eminent bolts.
- [Simon] That is a very good point, Dan, you definitely do.
I think a hack's gotta improve functionality,
doesn't it really, don't you think?
You can't call a paint job a hack.
- No, we've had some custom shoes that we called hacks.
They looked great.
Confusing, huh? - Inconsistency in
my judgment, gotten called on that before.
- [Dan] You think it's Ah-ron rather than Aaron?
Leave it on.
Stooie in Northampton, daughter tore a ligament so
she's now on crutches, her handles needed a wrap,
so she used some spare bar tape.
It's an oldie but it's a goodie.
Definitely a hack. - Definitely a hack.
- I was actually on crutches myself briefly recently,
and it does start to bruise your poor hands.
All the weight on the crutches.
- A good job that you can moan about
your health problems, isn't it?
Right then, next up we've got this one from Steve Wells.
This is cool. I'm using my kid's old bed base
as a family bike stand for the garage.
Look at that! So simple but so effective.
Wheel neatly slotted in between the slats there.
I think that is cool.
- [Dan] You don't even, you just lean it against the wall.
- Genius. - Presto.
- What a hack.
- Bike rack for about five, six bikes, brilliant.
- Yeah. - Next up,
this is definitely a first.
It comes in from Ivan Valke, Val-kay.
Possibly the greatest GCN hack ever.
We'll be the judge of that,
thank you very much Ivan.
After a conversation with Emma Weston
about flappy ride numbers, she pulls out
the double sided boob tape and it works magic.
- [Simon] Well, there we go.
I never ever thought of that before.
Genius, and to be fair, it's Ivan not talking
up his own hack there.
It's clearly emmaweston1980's hack.
So congratulations, Emma.
Not quite sure that's the best hack of all time.
But it's definitely a good one, isn't it?
Ending on a high here in Hack or Bodge this week.
If you have anything, Hack or Bodge, that you would
like to submit for public judgment,
then make sure you send it into us, using the hashtag,
GCNHACK on most forms of social media.
- Yeah.
Caption Competition, your chance to win
a GCN camelback water bottle. (Simon whistles)
Last week's photo was of Si.
Quite a funny one.
You were the penny farthing there.
Brilliant comments for that picture.
- And a massive wedgie, can we say, wearing an Arrow
speed suit there.
- Did you have a big wedgie?
- Well, in order for that suit to fit properly,
it has to be like five sizes too small,
so when you try and stand up straight,
and I don't stand up that straight generally,
it give you a massive wedgie.
- Yeah, you better take that survey, mate.
- I will, after that, anyway.
- Right, well we do have a winner, and that winner is...
(drumroll)
Zak Swan, whose caption was,
"Oh look, there is a penny (farthing)."
We get that caption every time that there's
a caption photo that involves some sort of crash,
and we never give the winner to that one.
- No, but there we go, that was good.
- It does fit there, doesn't it?
- Yeah, we like what you've done there, Zak.
So yeah, congratulations, the bottle comes to you.
How about this week's photo then, Dan?
Who's that?
- That is cyclist Elia Viviani just after winning
the Italian national championships.
- Can I have a go, can I have a go?
- Go on, then.
- I'm sorry, Elia, but these shoes have got to go.
There's no way they're going to match your new
national champs kit.
- Well, if he does redo his shoes, will it be
a hack or a bodge?
- Ooh, good point. Depends on if they get it done properly,
or whether they're--
No, it's a hack, isn't it?
Custom shoes, ah man.
- Get involved in the comments below with your best caption,
and we'll pick a winner this time next week.
And Zak, don't forget to get in touch on Facebook
with the message with your address, and we'll get this
out to you ASAP.
We've picked three more of our favorite comments
from the last seven days.
Lots of brilliant ones, particularly under
the Spanish launch, got quite a lot of them.
The ones I could read.
- (laughs) Yeah.
- First off, underneath Si's interview with David Miller
about time trialing technique, Patrick Carroll wrote,
"Simon is remarkably smooth and steady on the bike."
And Patrick did, I think mean you and not David,
because there was quite a lot of thread of people
agreeing with that. - Really?
- Yeah, remarkable as it is.
- I'm waiting for the punch line.
- No, that's it.
- Oh, thanks, mate.
You picked that one out to read out.
- No you did, you put it in.
I'm joking, I did put it in.
I've been in a good mood. - Yeah, thanks mate.
Anyway, Dave was on good form, actually.
Bit of an interesting bloke to talk to.
Reny, "It feels weird seeing someone with upper body
"muscle wearing the GCN kit."
That is a good point.
- This is a mistake not to make in a small tee.
We have plenty of comments recently along those lines,
haven't we, since those new presenters have joined.
- The Love Island contestants.
- Finally this week, haxhxm, "His hair game might beat
"our all time favorite Dan Lloyd's."
Hashtag, feelsbadfordanlloyd.
This is under our launch video for GCN en Espanol.
- It's the one we mentioned earlier on.
- It is, it is, it is.
Like I said earlier, it's hard to argue with that.
Like I said Oscar is a pretty stylish little dude, isn't he?
- He looks sharp, doesn't he?
Proper sharp.
- Let's tell you what's coming up on the channel
for the next seven days.
- To start with, on Wednesday, we've got how to sprint
on a road bike.
Obviously, that's not from either of us anymore.
We've got Chris opening with that.
- Actually...
Technically, I'm in that video.
- You're not.
(crosstalk)
- We've also got our big Tour de France preview that day,
which involves all of our kisses of death.
We're giving out predictions for the winner this year.
Then on Thursday, we've got our top ten riders to watch
at the Tour de France.
I'm very forgetful today, I have to read it off
the computer here.
Friday is ask--
- Do you want some Everysight glasses?
- Yeah, Friday is Art Dieterling.
That is a Tour de France special, so we encourage
your questions all about the Tour de France
with that one, because that will be coming up on Friday.
We've also got highlights of the Douro Roso,
which is the most prestigious women's stage race,
starting on Friday, over on our Facebook watch page.
- That's right, then on Saturday.
Beating us out, isn't it, because of course,
it's the start of the Tour de France as well,
which means you've got Douro Roso to watch
and you've got GCN's Tour de France highlights package
to watch with Mr. Lloyd.
That's over on Facebook watch as well.
And if that's not enough, right here on YouTube,
we've also got the start of a new series,
Get Fit Quick, get fit in four weeks over the course
of the Tour de France.
Chris Opie takes you through it.
And he will boost your performance.
So yeah, how about that?
Then Sunday we've got talk versus cadence,
now that will be an interesting one.
And then on Monday, of course, it is the GCN
racing news show to supplement all your racing
watching as well.
And then Tuesday's the GCN show.
Oh and not only that, we're also at EuroBike as well,
so make sure you stay tuned to GCN and GCN Tech,
because Ollie and I will be bringing you tech videos
as of Sunday.
And Jon Cannings is on the ground at the Tour de France.
It's busy, busy in July, isn't it?
- Yeah.
- Is Talk Versus Cadence with Emma?
- I'm not sure, why?
- I just wanted to wager a fortune on that.
- You mean whether there's actual science involved this time
Yeah, good for nothing.
Right, that is unfortunately it from the GCN Show
for this week, but as we've just said
and what's coming up on the channel, don't worry,
because there is plenty of bike watching to be done
on GCN over the next few weeks.
Before you do leave this video, though,
please make sure you head over to the GCN shop
because we've got some super cool limited edition
merchandise for you for the month of July.
T-shirts. - Yep.
Loads of cool T-shirt designs.
So yeah, make sure you check it out.
Lots to look at over there.
- Not just T-shirts, also hoodies and sweatshirts.
- Oh, if it was the weather to wear hoodies
and sweatshirts now, Dan.
- Are you getting fed up with the hot weather?
- I'm not, but sometimes it's nice to put a
sweatshirt on, isn't it? - Yeah.
Turn the air conditioning up, man.
- Yeah, I think that must be a genetic thing,
to prepare us for the British winter,
that after awhile we get bored of summer.
- Yeah, it is so hot here.
Si has had four T-shirt changes just in this half an hour
of a GCN shirt, quite a mark already.
Right then, more content for you to watch right now.
Can aero bikes climb?
Si answers that question in the video that
is just down here.
- Yeah, and of course, if you need no further reminding,
please head over to Facebook watch to check out all of our
racing highlights as well.
And a big thumbs up, why not?
