The Feedback workstands are a bit pricey, but they are excellent stands. I would even say they are superior to the Park Tool work stands simply because they collapse down much smaller than any of the ones offered by Park Tools. And the price is comparable to the Park Tool stands.

What was in that other team truck beside the mechanic's truck you toured?

[@roadfert]

Do you happen to know what shoe brand was shown at 6:44 in the video that was in the shot with the stickers for the team cars? Those are straight 🔥

[@jeffkimble8857]

Are air compressors hard to come by or pricey in the UK?? Ollie says he would like to have one. Air compressors are pretty common place here in the US. I have multiple in my garage at home…a large one that runs tools, a mid size portable one I can take with me to use offsite and then a small one to inflate tires etc.

[@captainamerica1797]

So high tech these days !!!

[@ChrisGuarraia]

I love the bus and mechanics’ truck tours. What I would also like to see is the nutrition and hydration prep vehicle that gets the in-race nutrition ready for a race.

[@johnstrac]

As I said the other day on another video, this behind the scenes stuff is great.

[@gcntech]

We love doing some behind the scenes stuff 🙌 Always great fun 🕵

[@bikeskimawk670]

Ollie your passion is sensational. Thank you,

[@gcntech]

More passion More passion More passion 🙌

[@mommamooney]

Ollie is like a kid on Christmas morning ❤

[@gcntech]

In his happy please here 🙌

[@ugghhhyoutubeisawful646]

awesome! reminds (ed) me of old gcn shows that i loved.

[@serafinaproductions8752]

Excellent Partridge reference there, Oli.

[@richardharris8538]

He was just trying to be Pheasant.

[@edwardjednacz1641]

The team truck is better equipped than many local bike shops

[@RyonBeachner]

It’s much easier to do that when the “shop” only has 3 models from a single brand to service all with the same groupset. Meanwhile your local bike shop is just supposed to have everything for everyone.

[@gcntech]

Hahaha it's a fancy truck that's for sure!

[@christoph1]

is this how Alex gets his Dura Ace cranks?

[@gcntech]

[@mommamooney]

I think you’re on to something!

[@MarriedWithBackpacks]

show us a team car that follows the riders in the race. It would be cool to see how they follow the race and if they have any special things going on there

[@apolloniusbeitsman5444]

Anyone else wish they could smell the truck?

[@gator3-234]

😂👏👏👏👍

[@ScotChef]

true

[@savagepro9060]

You're the sorta guy who would stick his nose 👃 ANYWHERE

[@reecedawson6113]

A lot of sweat?

[@FreeOnGoal]

Its probably smell of new tires!

[@jempanuncialman9361]

More of this

[@TESTA-CC]

There Must be 150k+ worth of Professional Kit in there, Respect Lotto Dstny 👍🖖

[@gcntech]

They go prepared 🙌

[@savagepro9060]

7:10 " . . . in the allotted tiiiime!"

[@joshebrown2575]

Ummm, Ollie almost had a system overload, with sparks flying out of his ears. 😂

[@HardCOR_107]

Thanks Ollie! Hey, how many bikes does a single rider get outfitted for Le Tour? I'm guessing 2 of each (i.e., climbing, flat, gravel, time trial)?

[@ffraniel]

it's an extender!

[@martinberry1540]

Love you , bye!!!!

[@gcntech]

A classic ollie sign off 🙌

[@firstnamelastname9013]

👏👏👍👍

[@LegSpinna]

The tv is for watching the footy.

[@gcntech]

Then debrief - You've got have your priorities straight 🙌

[@ytyehyeh]

Speaking of mechanics having room to work, how do they fix a bike during the race to give a rider back their original bike after riding the spare for some distance? Do they fix bikes in the back of the team car as it moves along, or pull over and fix it on the side of the course, or either/both depending on the nature of the fix?

[@ScotChef]

big jacket big pockets ollie, stuff accidentally falls in all the time 😊

[@garysimpson8860]

Gucci as sh-t love to see behind the scenes

[@westboundbadger]

USB ports for bike charging,...I knew it !!

[@TreyGruel]

".. I mean, Alex would love this.." Just skipping the Dura-Ace crank drawer?

[@pdsnpsnldlqnop3330]

If you were light fingered and adept at shoplifting, what would you take from this truck, given that you can't pocket a wheel set or a flat screen TV? Would you go for the TDF stickers, the bar tape, a chain (or two) or something else?

[@Chloe-ei9iw]

All the 5mm Allen keys

[@pierrex3226]

Garmin units. Easy to sell, expensive, very compact.

[@geothunder1971]

Wonder if all those Zipp wheels are hookless?

[@Trimate02]

yes they are

[@savagepro9060]

5:38 Alexander Poe . . . "Rape of the Lock"

[@Rolypopoly]

"tools that they have acquired over a lifetime…" 😂. Does that make them a nightmare for rival teams??

[@herculesrockefeller8969]

I have stopped watching GCN. I noticed I’m much calmer and happier now.

[@1417ironman]

Now I know why bikes and bike parts are so expensive to the average person cause I am guessing they get it for free

[@MdBoj-n2v]

Bon jor

[@FT__Bicycling_____-sc7yv]

DO NOT spray the compressed air anywhere near your eyes.

[@winging_it.]

Not park tools, Unior, most underrated tool set, Park are the most overpriced cheap quality. I have been a mechanic for a long time and have a mix of tools, each chosen mainly for ease of use, ergonomics and comfort.

[@BenGoldNYC]

I like Unior too, but there are a few items Park does just as good or better.

[@MS-bw7yt]

I mean, you need a lot of spare wheels with Zipp when the industry leading hookless rim blows off again...😂

[@gcntech]

You need a lot of spare wheels when you've got gravel stages to get through 👀

[@mb10kx]

can be charged for internal electric motors

[@Gkam84]

Park tools? Really....Those were 90% unior....

[@christopherandstephaniehil5782]

F1

[@gavinm717gkm]

Using a generator to run an electric pressure washer is just hilarious. If only there was a way to just use the gas engine to create the water pressure……

[@ScotChef]

new alternator anyone 😂

[@captainamerica1797]

Belgium Team on a Spanish Bike ....ummmm

[@timtaylor9590]

Gcn stole the bikes

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

1: 43 - If the truck was actually "massive" you could not put anything inside, as "massive" usually means the opposite of "hollow".
