Do you have any cycling fails you think should have made the list? Let us know in the comments!๐
How can you not include AVV crashing literally 10m into the World TT? God-damned Dutch can't get anything right as a team! ๐
Trentin mocking Bettiol at 1:27
Surely the biggest mistake was Dans ticktok dancing!
Organizers should be fined for lack of clear indications to riders, and for lack of barriers where clearly necessary. At least put someone if you cannot put barriers for safety reasons.
don't think skidding out on a sharp left turn in the wet is a fail but all the rest were bang on
WVA is the funniest one in green jersey about to raise his arms ๐
This is good, but I know everyone else here, like me, is waiting for CyclingOutOfContext's 2022 recapped
What about half the peloton being sent the wrong way at the finish in the Tour of Britain in Mansfield?
When do we get the GCN presenter fails ๐๐
van Vleuten's crash at the start of the world's TTT?
Bauke Mollemaโs seagull in the face in Wollongong Mixed Team Time Trial.
has anyone at gcn ever gone back and listened to carlton kirby's calls at the end of races? if not, how about the rest of the idiocy he authors for the rest of the time which people are LITERALLY PAYING to hear? he is the worst commentator i have ever heard covering any sport, and i am an old man now. hire a woman because it is now 2022 and he is TERRIBLE.
cycling fail #1: carlton kirby still has a job. all the women who you sometimes let commentate on races are FAR BETTER than that man.
the biggest cycling fail is the lack of female voices.
more female voices means LESS male voices, because that is how math works oi? carlton kirby is awful. i dont know a single person who enjoys his "slow bicycle race" genius analysis time after time. but men run GCN so this will never change will it?
Most disastrous fail in this years Tour of Britain is missing.
It happened in the stage 5, within the last one kilometre, bunch of riders went into a wrong lane and couldn't get back.
Some people really think that we need crappy tunes on every sports vid. Fail!
Typical GCN cringe to include Pogacar losing the yellow jersey. Where was the fail in this?
This season had some of the most dangerous finishes(last km) in cycling. Speed bumps, chicane, downhill, narrowing road, dangerous placed barriers, finishes in a corner. List goes on and on.
Making all the pros ride disc bikes.
My biggest fail of 2022 is I somersaulted over my handlebars due pulling my front brake in reactionary panic because a squirrel ran out of hedges on my right but at the last second decided not to run onto the road. I'm sure he was waiting for me. Evil squirrel.
๐ดโโโ ๐ฟ๐ฉ "Haahaa!"
MVDP's hotel rumble with two teenage girls the night before Wollongong.
This would have been enhanced with some captions or the race or stage
I have a hard time blaming some of the riders for these "fails." When a road has more than one possible route to take, there should be NO WAY to take the wrong one! There should be barricades, course marshalls and/or signs that make it clear where they're supposed to go. I've missed or made wrong turns just on organized rides that were poorly marked. And I wasn't going nearly as fast as these riders are.
What about the time during the tour when the two cars stopped at the same time and the riders crashed into them in the same exact way?
Wtf is headline
Ugh
Why not grow up?
Looking where you're going fail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSKJeD-3a78
When you're so fast the 2nd group don't know you finished
you missed the voss puppy paws
The biggest fail was Jumbo Visma releasing a statement blaming Fred Wright for Rogliฤ's fall in the Vuelta and everybody on the internet turning against them ๐
love it
Could you do one showing the mechanical failures that happened in 2022? Seats falling off, forks breaking, tires collapsing?
Biggest fail of 2022 – Rogliฤ crashing himself into Wright, then blaming Wright for it.
AFAIK, Rog still hasn't apologized for it – either the crash or, more importantly, publicly blaming it on Wright.
So…a rider who is beaten square and fair all while he's just not having his best of days in the mountains is a fail to you? Come on, you can't be serious.
Pretty sure in the TDF a rider got punched in the face by a bag drop
is it genetics, why all cyclists are programmed to make themselves look like total prats. even the ones that dont make videos like this.
Wouldnt even consider Philipsen and Bettiol failing. Much better than thinking someone finished already and not going for the sprint. If you always go for it you are on the safe side ๐
Has to be AMSTEL GOLD with the poor Bernard Cosnefroy being told he was the winner and celebrating, Michaล Kwiatkowski commiserating (although his celebration and commiseration face are pretty much one and the same), then the decision reversed after the photo finish judges showed Michaล Kwiatkowski actually won.
A cracking race, these last few editions have never failed to deliver epic races. Great commentating by Rob Hatch as well.
Pay per view grand tours…..
Thanks for the content
sorry, but I have to say this – road shoes are so uncomfortable for walking (4.50m from video) .. can't believe these are still in service ..
Here's a real fail for you……."Aye uhn vn rrt tho hi leiinr furrrst" .First rule of commentating:Make sure the audience is able to easily understand you, otherwise they won't pay to listen/watch.
I can't explain why I find the wrong turns so amusing
Never celebrate early. After the line, there is time enough. Never understood the mindset of finishing with raised arms..
he falls because his saddle comes off
I really feel bad for Prades. His saddle straight up fell off, not even his fault, adding injury to insult
Silly Tim
2:26 The guy's saddle falls off as he crosses the line – what a weird incident! Must've been the dont-celebrate-too-early-prevention device kicking in! ๐
