Random Bike Race - Who’s Really The Fastest GCN Presenter?

[@gcn]

What presenter race should we do next? 👀

[@Sanpit_Peter]

On these folding bikes in a Velodrome or at the pumptrack. Just keep it ridiculous and funny

[@markgreen950]

An allycat or get to a velodrome.

[@panjimoulana]

A race with unicycle, folding bike, fixie, and road bike from London to Calais or London to Edinburgh

[@Dilsli]

On their normal bikes. Sure Manon would be last, but I'd rather be last on my own legs than win with a e-bike. I'm a woman, too. I'm always last and I can live with that. But I'd be offended to be given an e-bike while the others got to use just their own power. I'm very fond of Manon and she's amazing! None of them have anything to prove anyway.

[@akiraak2247]

Mountain bike 🤔

[@ScotChef]

'Like a couple of cartoon characters' 😂😂😂

[@kivinprod]

best line :)

[@inz_uzi]

Connor's shoes are larger than the wheels 😂

[@mommamooney]

My favorite line of the video 😂😂😂

[@dapidizme]

that sent me after looking at Hank 💀💀

[@tom_tom_k98]

yeah. that killed me

[@mathiasthelander7834]

This was one of the funniest episodes ever, Hank on that giant of a bike was a sight to behold!

[@gcn]

A bike big enough for his ego 😂

[@kylixchi]

Truly Agree!!!!!

[@OriginalTrev]

@@gcn Hank's 5'6" thinks he's 5'10" so he averages 5'8" 😆

[@brag-]

Its nice to see Connor and Hank swap bikes for the day

[@ThomasHubik]

I think its Mannons bike, so even smaller.

[@bateriayvr8988]

@@ThomasHubik I don't think @brag was being serious mate.... 😇

[@JamesL-W]

I have to say that bike was tough to RIDE.

[@siedmy]

It looks epic though, does it hurt less then a penny farthing?

[@AndysAverageAdventures]

Hank on a bmx, Connor on an Enduro, Si on a step through and Manon on an XC bike, Ollie on something with oval chainring.

[@kunzworld2309]

And Ollie definitely on a non waxed chain

[@Frostbiker]

I want to see Ollie on a commuter bike with a bell and panniers. And an oval chainring, of course.

[@Kuroneko6235]

Lets make all of these suggestion happen please GCN

[@jani724]

Perhaps Dan can take a recumbent

[@thsaintful]

With Ollie being an absolute beast lately, he needs more of a handicap than that

[@NZWozza]

Best GCN video since the Coast to Coast yesterday. Haha quality videos, loved the banter and presenter pics on the bikes 🤣

[@mulinanr]

Best gcn video since yesterday? I see you set the bar quite high 😂

[@NZWozza]

@@mulinanr haha what can I say, there were two I really liked in a row. 😂

[@gcn]

We've got some even better ones coming soon! Turn your notifications on and you won't miss it 🔔

[@whatwelearned]

I will NEVER get bored of seeing Conor on a tiny bike

[@gcn]

We hear you there! It never gets old 😂

[@alanfreeman7932]

Si's competitive nature shone through lightening his bike by giving Connor his heavy water bottle to carry up the climb

[@advocatusdiaboli9909]

Best comment

[@cherriagana]

Next time add Ollie, give him a bike and reverse all the aero components so they effectively become airbrakes :D

[@bateriayvr8988]

Love this!

[@gcn]

Hahaha one way to wind Ollie up 😂

[@ruan13o]

Two big flappy panier bags on the back and another two big flappy ones on the front.

[@mattlloyd6651]

@@gcn Nice double use of the word "wind" there!

[@WaechterDerNacht]

@@gcn There are sails for kayaks - i guess those can be fitted to a handlebar aswell... ^^

[@MrDaemondays]

I love that you guys don’t take yourselves too serious and are always up for fun challenges! :) Always makes me smile!

[@gcn]

Cycling should always be fun 🙌 Can you think of any other silly challenges we should do?

[@berenicebaker7191]

Any challenge that Si could win because I love his smile.

[@MrDaemondays]

Do you know these bikes that one person rides and six others help peadling? The riders are sitting in a circle. It is a lot of fun and would make for a great team effort. I think they are called "conference bikes. I see great opportunities for this bike, ranging from a team effort to a live stream where one person "drives" and the other pedal and record something or stream an episode of sth. Would be hilarious!!!@@gcn

[@Sanpit_Peter]

Lovely Video. Laughed the whole time. Perfect for a Sunday!

[@barrypark130]

Loved the fully professional UCI style start of "3,2, hang on wait for the traffic, holding on 2!" 😂

[@bateriayvr8988]

🤣

[@derx6666]

I really wonder what kind of power and hr Si was doing on that climb. The determination of not losing is strong in him :)

[@ssenssel]

Also in Hank, he was devastated to be last. I wonder how Ollie would fair and what the handicap would be..🤔Maybe the least aero bike possible.

[@brannmacfinnchad9056]

@@ssenssel Put Ollie on a Brompton.

[@romelgallo2531]

I think this is the best gcn presenters challenge so far. Its fun to watch. More of this please. Thank you😊

[@gcn]

Thank! We loved filming this one... nothing better than a fun day spent on silly bikes 🙌

[@dorothyb.]

At the beginning of the climb you could just hear Manon laughing and laughing. Fun vid. Always good to add in on occasion. I’d like to see all trying those bike gymnastics

[@gcn]

Hahahahaha yes! That is a great idea 😂

[@donaldyoung8866]

Been a while since we’ve had a full scale silly race, that was fun to watch. Get Si on a chopper, Conor on a bmx, Hank on a Recumbent bike and Manon on a three wheeler…

[@Modrunnermusic]

And a tricycle in the mix!

[@connornial8237]

Hands down the funniest GCN video to date😂😂

[@lazzaboyman8003]

Good fun and great to see the chemistry between all the presenters!

[@bittiapina]

Perfect Sunday GCN video! Absolutely loved every minute of it. The banter, the bikes, the challenge - so much fun. Also I think Manon's bike is probably bigger than mine is or the same size. I'm 162 cm and I got like XXS Canon Ultimate and the idea of someone like Conor trying to ride it 🤣Honestly I was concerned the frame was going to break or something. Conor's a skinny lad for his size but he's still a giant 😆 That El Alto still looks smashing. Love the mint green wheels and frame. Thanks for this video. Made my Sunday so much brighter. 👏

[@gcn]

Great to hear you enjoyed your Sunday! This video was a lot of fun to film, so great to hear that you enjoyed it too! What video presenter race would you like to see us tackle next?

[@dylan-5287]

Absolutely hilarious video! All the presenters together is always a recipe for really entertaining stuff.

[@jamescgarrett6356]

Best “Presenter Race” ever! Chapeau to Si for the winning human power finisher :-) Fixie bikes rock!

[@benshannon3121]

The banter is wonderful. You can really see they all love working together and that chemistry comes across well on screen. We need more of these fun challenges. Top gear style with a silly bike packing trip

[@justittude1524]

This has to be the best gcn race video so far... If one could like it 10 times I would, and the humour, very very good...oohh Si and his breathing had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@eleycki]

Hank and Connor were brilliant. Nice of Hank to lend his bike to Connor by the way.

[@katiel7166]

As soon as I saw the wheel I yelled, "El Alto!"

[@gcn]

Ooooof shots fired!

[@DarenC]

Hank on that bike - some serious Dennis Waterman in Little Britain energy. Get him to write a theme tune, sing the theme tune...

[@jamesdraper6558]

You guys looked like the beginner section of the first local group ride of the season. Hilarious.

[@iconhotel182]

laughed out loud so many times during this video! love this type of comedic content now that the road season has come to an end. :) a bit of laughter with most of the GCN presenter crew is just what we need!

[@JR-dd1mu]

You guys are awesome! Already love your banter on GCN training videos but this is even more funnier!

[@reynoldio]

I think you need to run that race three more times so that everyone gets a go on each bike! Add up the times for the cumulative winner :)

[@gcn]

Hahahah there could be some sore legs after that shoot 😳

[@mnveloguy]

GCN is on point this weekend. I want to see Hank on a low racer, Manson in an Alpha 7 velomobile, Si on a trike, and Connor with whatever recumbent would even fit him. Heck, I’m not sure one even exists for such a towering figure.

[@harryoneill75]

I love these! Nothing more entertaining than watching a group of friends absolutely dig into each other

[@amandanorth6526]

Loved the fixie! Hilarious video, great effort. Can't wait to see Hank's revenge

[@martinsmith-gk8mv]

Very funny episode, Conner seems a good laugh. All the presenters are great and they work really well together. More of this silliness please!🤣🤣🤣

[@julianallen515]

Si's ribbing of Hank was hilarious especially with the squeeze voice. It was noticeable at the end of the video though that he is shorter than Manon. LoL "I'm not small, I'm average, Google it" LoL

[@bubblesezblonde]

16:03~Hmmm beneath the Ginormous Leprechaun's jacket reside the colors of the Irish National Champion....this was fun. I WAS surprised that Son-of-Hank's-Dad suffered so much on EL Alto. Siborg1 on a fixie was no surprise to be honest. The Welsh Dragon Queen rules as always. I DID note that Prince-of-being-Dropped Dr. Bridgewood was not amongst the peddlers since his recent wins in the previous contests. Does he know how to ride sans areo??? And Conor has discovered what the others haven't experienced to learn....Unbound is recognized as the World Championship of Gravel.

[@rich1806able]

Best GCN upload I've seen in ages, loved the banter (give us more)

[@andras.89]

Wow, an actual laughter bursted out of me when Conor walked up to Manon's bike and then revieled it next to him, and at the next following group scene too. :D

[@goodcompanycoffee]

Bants too good. I love this LOL at the water jokes and Si is walking. And Hank pouting from the teasing.

[@jascollinscork]

THE BEST RACE I'VE EVER SEEN 😂😂😂😂😍😍😍 more cameras and spectators would have been even better though 😃 time for another race with other presenters though????

I was just thinking last week that it would be great to see a GCN race again. Congratz to Simon for winning.

[@watcher24601]

Simon was second!

[@JLW3113]

This was hands-down the funniest video y'all have made yet. I was laughing the entire time. Love it!

[@koedzz2017]

One of the most entertaining videos yet. Let there be more.😂😂

[@channelbill2933]

Commuter based competition. Commuter bikes with racks and 10kg load. Riders each map a 10km course they will follow and the time they need to finish at their desk, like arriving at work on time. The winner is the one who arrives at their desk ready to work closest to the starting time for the office, including changing into working clothes. Not early or late. Maybe throw in typing a 1000 word text to make sure they are not to worn out to work?

[@joechamma]

The Brompton would have been a fun bike to race in. Try to use it next race 😅😅😍😍😍

[@petewillmot]

I genuinely haven’t laughed so hard at the start of a video… 😂😂😂😂

[@kylixchi]

One of the best vids!!!! Thanks GCN Crew!! LMAO!

[@francoispayen]

Seeing Hank and Connor ride past Simon on these bikes is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on GCN!

[@FlatSpinMan]

Every time I saw Hank I just laughed so hard.

[@mommamooney]

I just love these hilarious races. Hank and Conner were the best. Gandalf and Frodo do a bike race

[@andrewcooper6293]

All of the presenters on track bikes with identical small gearing. 10 laps of a track peddling as fast as possible (100rpm plus)

[@bikeskimawk670]

Friends being silly and having fun. Thank you for the chuckle. Here's my suggestion for a race, team style or individual, one leg on the track, one leg on a mountain bike, a 30 K road bike leg, a 15 K gravel bike leg, and finish with a 10 K TT. If a team is used, member of the team can not ride their specialty. Thanks again for the entertaining content.

[@ThomasNing]

I love the banter so much 🤣

[@jameshmd]

If GCN presenting was a normal job, Si’s comments about Hank and Connor would be considered “work place bullying”. Classic banter, I wish my colleagues could have a sense of humour like you 4.

[@TheBrokenMountainBiker]

[@davidcawthorne2942]

Genuinely the funniest thing I have seen in ages. I could not stop laughing. Who knew Manon was a born climber?

[@davezzzz172]

I have to say, GCN has really outdone themselves! I thought the video of Conor doing cyclocross with Amy was pretty hilarious, but this latest video was the funniest yet!

[@a1white]

That bike looks so absurdly small with Conor on it. It really does look like a kids bike 😅

[@Born2bike]

Well played team. The banter between you guys gave me a good belly laugh. Manon on an E-bike tho- was always going to skin you boys!

[@WalterDill-d9j]

Thanks for the laughs! You could see Hank thinking what the next race would be that he set up ... and then it fell into his lap. To be continued....

[@Equicork123]

This is such a brilliant video, I was in absolute stitches nearly the whole way through. (Classic Top gear vibes) More wacky challenges, please! Hank and Connor take on a penny-farthing race?
