We know that Ollie Bridgewood is not as good as the pros (despite what he might tell you about dropping a certain Alberto Contador). However, what about if he was racing against a pro on the very cheapest of bikes? We enlisted the help of professional cyclist Rory Townsend to find out!

What would you like us to do next with the Eurobike?
If Ollie is an amateur…I'd like to be one 😁
Here 0:33
I know from experience that a fast rider on a well maintenanced piece of shit can annoy or embarass 90% of the carbon boys.
Aero … light weight. £5k later… and no diff..
The bike was falling apart 😂
I always want a road bike. Expensive or cheap one. Having one would be one of the greatest moment i could have. But dont have the budget. Still hoping i could save money
English 🤮

Love the humor in these videos!
Pro bike won by 15sec.
Welcome
cool
Bruh the camera man 💀💀
camera man go crazy
He lost by only 10 seconds
But here in my country where those smooth roads for road bikes are mostly highways, such a lightweight bike means crosswinds are going to throw you off the road. So a mtb with knobby tyres gives me the much needed traction to stay on road even if it means sacrificing on efficiency and speed
Love this video 😆
For 10km 200+m elevation routes i average 30kmph on my Rockrider st100 and im a 5'6 30 years old dude from India…
My rockrider st 100 is a mountain bike and it costs INR 15k which is 150 GBP approx. How about that?
👍👍👍
give him a cheap bike that not shit. that works. and try again.
What’s that thing they use to see their speed and power called
I HAVE A 100 DOLAR CYCALE
It would be cool to see a re run where Rory has a higher top gear – probably a £50 – £100 upgrade.
The sh*t bike in the video still looks better than mine😅
Really like this video… Great fun… but I'm a 122Kg 54 year old who just started biking again a year ago… I doubt even a SUPER DUPER Bike could make me go faster! hahaha. Truly a fun video that had me smiling and cheering the entire time!
