Hill Climb Challenge | GTN Vs The Pros

For years Triathletes have flocked to the island of Lanzarote for its warm climates, smooth roads and it's tough climbs. We thought we'd gather a load of top pros including Tim Don, Lucy Charles-Barclay and Andreas Dreitz and race them up one of the hardest, Tabayesco. Could we beat them?

[@Oldmaite]

Gotta respect Reece's game plan... the cold shoulder only lasts a night or two but glory is forever!

[@skykaptain007]

When I saw the thumbnail I figured it would be 1-2 pros, not a full squad included my favs (Lucy, Reece, and Tim). Well done!

[@gtn]

We were very lucky to get them onboard and in the same place at the same time - they were all great weren't they!?

[@lucybecklemore2565]

New motivational quote: “Be the person Gary thinks he is” ✨✨✨

[@garyshea3515]

Lucy Becklemore hey I am Gary haha

[@rogger55]

Go Gary!

[@nicokent9648]

He did make it to be fair!

[@justin-eu7nh]

Gotta love Lucy. Gritting her teeth like a winner. Respect :)

[@Maxwaehrens]

I know it would be impossible when she's up against male pros, but I was so rooting for Lucy to win 😔

[@haxhxm841]

When GTN does a cycling challenge with a group of pros before GCN.

[@philipk4475]

When GCN is mostly a bunch of ex-pros.

[@carlosalbertobarriosbarrer9322]

haxhxm that’s true

[@mochidomo]

@@philipk4475 well GTN is all expros so idk what you're getting at

[@sepg5084]

@@mochidomo what's the point of being first to race with pros then? Nothing else matters, just enjoy the show.

[@Panicsinlondon]

The trophy looks like Fraser went into someone's backyard and stole a tiki torch

[@xiaoweiliang6335]

This is the best ever I've seen from GTN, we need to have a vote to get Tim and Lucy as your regular guest host! Especially Tim pls!

[@BombedNevada]

In hill climbing there are no winners. Only survivors.

[@gtn]

100% 😅

[@bikerdude221]

I shall say, this was one of the best videos. Even the choice of words at the end of the climbs clearly demonstrate how TOUGH this challenge was.. KUDOS to all of you

[@FelixTheG]

You guys really need to get in Tim as a presenter if someday he retires from triathlon. Love this dude! And fantastic video, it was a lot of fun to watch

[@nathanrs1016]

I'm afraid to realize that Lucy's face when she's going full gas is mine whenever i'm on the bike...except i'm not going fast :(

[@SotaMaehara]

Dreitz leaving the trophy HAHA, this was one of my favourite videos, do more in the future please!

[@joesaunders8561]

I was in bits on how competitive Lucy and Reece are with each other Reece will definitely get a bit stick from Lucy for breaking the game plan. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@PivotFirearms]

What a way to start my Sunday! The GTN team are really stepping it up with these videos and their content. Excellent production, awesome work on the bikes, and some really funny comments by the pros! Great stuff, please keep it coming!

[@gtn]

Cheers, we're glad you found it enjoyable 🙂

[@radiantlandscapesphotograp1525]

This is my favorite video you guys have made. Love how it actually shows that the pros are real people and suffer like the rest of us! Kudos to @timdon for blowing up catastrophically before the race started haha

[@sha5381]

Always a like for the DON!.... great work GTN👍

[@heytreacle]

Never mind anything else- Lucy’s eyebrow game is OFF THE FLIPPIN’ CHARTS.

[@Buckblacket]

Ahahaha your comment never got a heart! Lol

[@McStoolio]

I love Lucy’s face, she takes no prisoners when passing Mark. Great attitude, hope my daughters have the same approach. Btw, you’ll have to go again, the finish is at the cafe - which means - I’m faster than you all.

[@waxymud7609]

This has got to be one of my top 3 all time GTN videos for entertainment value. good job guys (and pros, and Garry) :)

[@gtn]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@vishalb08]

Well done Fraser, what a brilliant ride. And yes Mark....you're such a gentleman. 😉 Great video guys. Loved it.

[@pradanakusuma]

Watching this in 2020, those respectful hand shake, we may not be able to see that again for a while 😂

[@U20101954]

10K 5% , roadies: no climb ahead 🤣

[@fabryesquivel]

One of the best videos from GTN, nice to see al this pro riding together.

[@gerardochaparro1639]

Awesome video! I'm going to Lanzarote for the first time this March. Couldn't be more exited! Looking forward to do this climb!

[@mattyice1710]

Bravo, this was everything I ever wanted from this channel.

[@gtn]

🙌

[@kwintin]

I love watching hill climb challenges - so glad it's them and not me

[@stewconway2523]

Respect Quinn, I did the same into Ironman UK back in 2015, swimming breaststroke. Great watching your journey.. look forward to seeing your next and the progression

[@vishalb08]

It's like an Avengers: Endgame line up for today. Wow. I'm blown away!!

[@joshpeacock4071]

One of my favourite GTN videos, would be interesting to see a similar video but include some "good amateurs" to get some perspective!

[@alfredo8423]

What a stunning visual episode. Massive congrats GTN! Top level video, world class!! 👏👏👏👏

[@gtn]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@sanchezmd605]

Can't believe I haven't seen this before. Great job on this one! I've always wondered how Lucy does her make-up and what products she uses. Her eyebrows are always perfect 👀

[@covboy70]

Kudos to GTN to gather this group together, even if they were all already in Lanza! :D

[@gtn]

Was a good little battle, eh?! 🙌

[@patrickpangilinan1641]

Haven’t even watched Dropped down a like I can watch now

[@gtn]

🙌

[@jonathanzappala]

Wait, that's not Charles Barkley haha. This is gold.

[@sepiarain]

Drone footage on that last stretch was glorious!

[@McStoolio]

Fraser is breathing as though he’s doing nothing more strenuous than stretching off. I’d be on my knees.

[@leebrown3645]

Always good entertainment when you have Tim Don along for the ride 😁. Stellar effort from Fraser, too... 👍

[@joeyc8546]

Awesome challenge and so funny to watch! More like that 🥳

[@Paul-M21]

One of the best Video's I've watched from GTN. So Good!!

[@jblast201]

Great vid, keep it up! Helps motivate me to keep challenging myself for sure.

[@marjanbonev6837]

Hilarious Tim as always :D Nice fun challenge! You rock guys!

[@normanwoods2415]

Love the video. Ty for the concept and fun. Way to rock it Frasier🚴

[@chesteryap]

nice of the pros to "drop" their workout or rest day for this video. would be nice if GTN made videos in Asia too :D

[@covboy70]

And get Tim Don on GTN when he retires!!!

[@nouvou6178]

Yuhytyuutdguyguugutyytyyyyyvsjmννωγθλγγμξηγηηγγγγγγγγηκξη

[@roarman75]

Well done. Great video. One of the best you guys have made. See, that Cervelo is the bike to have.

[@gtn]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@santiagoaponte2648]

the trick was absolutely hilarious hahah

[@thesaint8400]

Charles Barkley-Lucy

[@gtn]

Think you could beat us up Tabayesco? Let us know!

[@bastjanlee]

GTN VS GCN please!!!

[@gtn]

They're too scared to take us on...

[@conormaguire7672]

Best GTN video yet! More pro’s vs presenters please

[@moi7748]

Holy moley - just look at them roads in Lanzarotti 😍😍😍😍

[@jonasgrnbek7113]

06:25 This guy is so freaking adorable, I want a pocket size version of him

[@danielmaddock6169]

I can 100% relate to Gary. That's so me!

[@mij9196]

Lucy is a class act!

[@mcworks6822]

Better than Avengers movie. I want more videos like this! awesome😍

[@albertorincon2549]

Really good stuff keep on videos like this !!!

[@WaltRBuck]

Ugh, if I had even a portion of the stamina for that.. to feel your heart beating so hard you think it's going to come out of your chest, your legs burning so bad you wonder how they aren't melting... throat burning from the air rushing. It sounds horrible, but it's SO FREAKING ADDICTING!!

[@MaryLegareWhaley]

I love this. All of it.

[@squeakycheesers]

Excellent. Loved this. More, more, more..... encore.....

[@LucianoSousa86]

Please, more like this!!! :D

[@Albert_Reinstein]

Lucy smashed the womens QOM on Strava for this climb. Still 40 seconds up on number two to this day!

[@phxrsx]

More pro videos. That was awesome.

[@Djibi2112]

More videos like these please!!! :D

[@nickbell6435]

I know!! Take a relatively heavy, un-ergonomic bike designed to be aerodynamic to a hill climb race!!

[@casper4468]

Great philosophy for life “My game plan is not to let my wife beat me”

[@strandkorbst9643]

Dayum that blue dude is a machine

[@fiddleronthebike]

yes, Dreitz is one of the very best cyclists in the Triathlon world...

[@KwadSkwad]

best episode ever. loads of fun!!!

[@joakimengelin3036]

Awesome

[@kanako3598]

Gtn vs Pro, swimming! Let's go lucy! 💪

[@chamillou]

best video of gtn CONGRATS!!!!!!!

[@gtn]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@zeiss72]

Great video from GTN as always 👍🏻 Wonder whether the GTN team will stand a chance if they had road bikes instead? 😉

[@kaloygats4604]

1:33 I'm in love!

[@chrisfofferolkvist7828]

Best video in a longt time!!!

[@ioannidesalex]

[@dirarose1]

Lucy rules!!!

[@robintherunner8709]

*Thumbs up for Gary*

[@ironmantooltime]

Where's the decent?? 😎

[@ltrtg13]

Does this mean Reese has a new canine landlord for a few days?

[@chrisko6439]

Elevetion gain of 607m and a length of 9.7km - that's ~6% average gradient, not 5%.

[@PaulTehGr8]

there is an elevator halfway through

[@elborbo7315]

Loved it....where did you leave the girl from GTN? So she could help LCB on the female representation. Brilliant video!!!!

[@mrttamilinas]

Great video.

[@ivorbrae]

Honestly? I could do with more Gary...

[@junalberca361]

Lucy is ❤

[@vicentejusto]

Garmin data please!!!!!!

[@rajinbin]

I wanted to see the other GTN female to see how she stacks up against Lucy

[@gtn]

We'll make Heather have a go next time!

[@AussieDownUnder]

Legit thought Gary was Cadel Evens

[@ejjames1675]

I wanted Lucy to win, rematch Lucy wins.

[@sarafinndanielsson1211]

Will GTN ever have a training event like GCN has? Because that would be a real highlight! :D

[@gtn]

🤔

[@sarafinndanielsson1211]

Yes, please! A training camp on Mallorca or the Canary Islands! 😃

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

So what's so great about Lanzarote again? The shallow climbs? Living in Switzerland and having twice the elevation gain every other weekend as a beginner cyclist I kinda don't get it
