From De Supercross welcome to the gcn show welcome to the gcn show coming up this week hot or not we are about to reveal our brand new gcn kit from a brand new gcn partner hot definitely we’ve also got a couple that got married during a race how Primos rogl is already

Changing things at Bora hgar and we finally find out what the spirit of gravel is thank goodness for that we’ve been waiting a long time we have [Applause] This week in the world of cycling we learned that yonas vinegar is the new Peter San not by being a threat in the spring Classics of course but by rocking out a pair of legs even tuaca would be very proud of yeah you actually could have said he’s the new Simon Richardson

Look check these bad boys out well he doesn’t quite have the same t course as you’ve got even with the hair side is he and he’s also good on a pike I’ve got to say so the only thing in common really is the leg hair thanks

We also learned the arrow is dead now it’s all about oo oo see what you did there mate now with this new development cycling style has taken another hit this time curtesy of cus uh first there was pox space in bid then there was specialized head condom and now CK are

Making your ears more aerodynamic UCI you know what to do forget about brly wrangles that’s the battle I need to fight battle isn’t there we also learned that Primos Rog has already changed Bora hando’s nutritional strategy so according to Le the newspaper in France he questioned the efficacy of having

Multiple choice when it came to team salads on their training cab yeah so instead he suggested there was just one salad that meets all the Riders nutritional requirements at marginal salad gains I think is that what we calling yeah it who knew that was a thing he’s a lad clearly yeah

Finally we learned that Canyon stram and EF education easy post led the way in the hottest kits of 2024 as voted for by you and revealed in yesterday’s racing news show but there is one more new cycling kit we haven’t touched on there is indeed yeah you’ve probably noticed

Across our channels that we have been getting quite excited about something lately right yonas Christ seriously yonas hardest thr in it looked Check it out we’ve got new gcn kit both in the design and who it’s made by two this is the sixth edition of the gcn kit since we launched back in 2013 and with it we are going back to our roots with gcn red I think it’s the best one yet then I

Would say that hit the like button if you agree [Applause] We are delighted to be working with agu on this sorry no no no it’s not agu auu no auu bless you yeah that’s that’s how you say it really a apparently it’s not agu or auu they’re a Dutch brand and that’s how you pronounce it if you’re Dutch you’ll already know

That and them and if you’re a cycling fan they’ll probably know that too but for those of you who don’t here’s a quick sheet yeah so they started in the 60s in 1974 they became the first brand to launch lightweight nylon bags for bikes I mean they still do to this

Day and then they got into clothing in 76 debuting what is now iconic in the Netherlands the AO rain suit yeah and in the late’ 7s they got into Pro cycling sponsoring the all conquering Panasonic team and the legendary leontin van W two times winner of the women’s SW of France

Yeah plus rabo bank for 16 years this is actually where I first learned of AO I was always really jealous of their clothing particularly in wet cold races where they had these aoo nepr gloves on funny what you remember is it and then as for the present day they suppli

Clothing to the Dutch national team so it was what Matty vandero was wearing on his way to World Championship success in 2023 plus of course most famously yumbo Vima now Vima Lisa bike so you can say I think pretty much with certainty that now they’ve got gcn as well we’re almost

Certainly between us going to win one grand tour next year at least AR we cover it yeah lordy actually has already been putting vgar and cuss through their Paces this year actually oh sorry I’m just in a swift ride I’ll have to call you back effort level 1 to 10

Set same about two all right just let now I’m eight I would also say [Applause] too when you look at ao’s range Pro level clearly forms a big part of it but then so too is clothing for the everyday cyclist that is clearly a priority as well I was particularly pleased to see

There is a dedicated section on the website to rainwear I appreciate that is spoken as a true Brit but still that’s important to me and the last thing you need to know is that the brand is pushing to be a lot more sustainable so they’re using a lot of recycled

Materials be that nylon polyester organic and without the use of harmful pfcs yeah now none of us here at gcn are going to win any big races anytime soon I’m afraid to say but we do still take part in some epic races don’t we plenty

Of Epic bike rides as well so it’s good to know I think that the clothing that we’re wearing can train for and win grand Tours even if that’s not what we’re doing no excuses but if you want to get your hands on the gcn kit you can

Do over in the gcn shop that’s right now there we will be selling wait for it Arrow jerseys premium shorts got long sleeve jerseys like I’m wearing now a vest and a long sleeve jersey made with poltech Alpha material tights gloves rain jackets we’ve got rain jerseys got

SNES and the gcn C another interesting fact when I was reading about the kit is that the ls actually have a double layered on the thigh and the knees for a bit extra warm and a windproof p panel on the crotch which is something that I have been crying out for for years

Intriguingly though that marketing blur said that it was there to keep your body the optimal temperature to perform what what kind of performance well it didn’t specify but um I mean I can imagine quite frankly if it’s you know anyway there we go uh let us know

What you think about the kit uh if you like it as we said give it a big thumbs up and remember of course if you want to get through to the gcn shop there will be a link on screen now it’ll take you straight there when it so did you find

Out what performance has been improved I did yeah right what do you got to think what do you what do you reckon yeah I mean obviously we are very pleased because we designed it in conjunction with AO and we think it looks incredible yeah I genuinely I am

Like properly toughed to bits with this one it’s nice to be back in proper gcn red Now isn’t it well yeah and I particularly like these sleeves the arrow sleeves on the Jersy now obviously it’s been too cold to wear it it’s only a matter of five or six months now

Before You’ be able to wear this out and about in the UK isn’t it once it warms up oh that’s right yeah um but no it was cool we were out filming last week in Jona and uh and it look it looks mint actually and the potic alpha stuff is

Super warm yeah not to mention the windproof patches on the bib ties I was also out filming in Spain last week in a in a race against yonis Vore well we’ve just been hearing about haven’t we yes uh when have people got to wait to watch

That uh find out the results it’s quite a big edit to make me look good that so few weeks time no I think it’s this weekend isn’t it I think it might be this weekend yeah anyway get involved in the comment section down below let us

Know what you think about you know this is version six of the kit I just telling the viewers version six yeah I counted up I mean that’s me counting so it might be but anyway I this is the best yet as far as I can say proper good I would agree

And now it’s time for cycling shorts cycling shorts now and we going to start with the news that the spirit of gravel is now an official event yes this was something we saw on our very own website wasn’t it Global cycling network.com so Keegan Swenson Russell fin the world

Krye Werner and Cody cup recently took on a five-day Spirit tour which went through Southern Arizona that was to train and connect with the spirit of gravel oh yeah it’s actually the third time they’ve done it to be fair it is poking a little bit of fun at the

Spirit of gravel term that is often banded about but krie Werner has made an attempt at defining the spirit of gravel oh an official definition yeah basically what he says is it’s like a VIN diagram with three circles those circles being friendship adventure and training and

The spirit of gravel is the center of that ven diagram where all three circles overlap training training yeah training can’t be in the spirit of gravel surely that is like the total opposite well don’t shoot the messenger side this is just what I read and presumably what car

Said I’m just letting you know TR like no gravel Rider worth their salt has ever trained training is what Ries do gravel is where you just ride with intervals dictated solely by how stoked you are stoked on what life bro fry I thought we’d better move on WE two some

Very heartwarming news from Scotland where a couple tied the KN recently at a cycling event which is called the Strath puffer yeah it’s a 24-hour mountain bike event isn’t it and a particularly brutal one but Steve Brown and Tracy Monroe from in vaness were actually doing it

For the 16th time they started as an Engaged couple and finished as a married couple fantastic congratulations to both of them if they made it through an event like that they should be well equipped for the rest of their lives as a married couple they should yeah a 24-hour event

In which it’s dark for all about four all but four hours or so isn’t it horrible horrible so when did they even find find someone to preside at their wedding you coming out to like a muddy field all very well organized well yeah I seen who who might have agreed to do

That in the four hours of sunlight it was done during sunlight daylight hours well legally it has to be doesn’t it in this country does it yeah yeah well I never knew that yeah I mean I maybe that’s definitely an English thing pretty sure it’s extend to Scotland so

That you can’t like so that it’s daylight so people can see who you’re marrying no serious so you can see who you marry more importantly right some team equipment news now because Lotto Destiny have now unveiled their new team bikes for the 2024 season as you all

Know after 12 years with Ridley the team has now made the switch to or bikes that’s right we were talking about this last week but we hadn’t seen them and here they are the Riders will have the choice of the Ora or the Orca arrow in

The team colors and they look cool they look I’m a big fan of that um and it is great to see or back with such a high-profile team is it that we we have been lucky enough to ride their bikes for eight years now years yeah and

They’re they’re a proper nice bunch of people as well as making great bikes AR they are I would agree a lot of Destiny are not the only big team though with a new bike supplier this year so after an even longer relationship with lapier group fdj are now using Vila bikes and

This is what they look like I like it D but but well it I don’t like it as much as the estana ones if we’re sticking with willia yeah I think the estana ones with the kind of like the icy paint job GA whereas that white just a bit like me

Bit more bland well there ones do pop don’t they in a nice light they do yeah I can’t believe we have got two World T teams no it’s incredible isn’t it you thought they had the budget for that no now as a reminder our 30 and 30 so 30

Minutes of exercise for each day in January plus an extra one I guess because there’s 31 days in January day off wish oh is that day off earn pay off anyway it’s still ongoing even if you haven’t started it yet it is well worth joining now there’s a presenter Le ride

Twice a day 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. GMT and they are non drop rides too so everybody is welcome and everyone can pedal at their own intensity but all ride together still that’s right yeah um you don’t have to join us on zwift for those and you can do any 30 minutes of

Exercise uh what were you doing uh squats with kettle bells for 30 seconds yes that was enough to see me struggling to walk in the days post yeah yeah you’ve got some serious cross training going on but John canning’s pointed out that not everyone has quite got the hang

Of 30 and 30 this is from Connor dun straa if you have a look there 29 minutes and 55 seconds that’s not really in the spirit is it the 30 it’s really not no um no it’s certainly not in the spenter of the 30 and 30 vag it right

Anyway another reminder um that you still have time to complete the Ruby Three Peaks challenge okay this was something that we set for you before Christmas riding the vontu the stelvio and the gr glockner on rou Ollie did them all back to back in one

Day you don’t have to do them all back to back we advise you don’t no but do if you complete all three then you’ll be entered into a prize draw with three ruvy subscriptions and a smart trainer up for grabs as well which pretty cool so the prize though for everybody who

Does complete the challenge of riding all three of those huge climbs is that you unlock the new auu GN kits in the game make sure that you get involved there’s still plenty of time that’s good do it right um let us finish sing short CH with yet more evidence that commuting

To work by bike is good for you yes as if we needed more but this is some new research from Edinburgh University which followed 380,000 people in Scotland it concluded that bike commuting reduced the risk of mental illness and therefore the prescription of anti-depressants that’s amazing is it interestingly the

Difference was bigger for women than it was for men even though men were more likely to commute by bike incidentally the study was published in the International Journal of epidemiology which is one of my favor yeah and it’s authors are hoping that the results are going to help encourage

Local councils to install more bike lanes because people were far more likely to commute by bike if they lived near good cycling infrastructure makes sense isn’t it here’s hoping that they are right next up hack SLB bodge of the week just before we get onto this week’s

Submissions a reminder that if you want to submit hack or bodge you now need to go to upload. Global cycling network.com you can find it in the description below underneath useful links uh so you can head there looks like a lot of you are now getting the hang of it but we know

It’s a little bit of a change from the app it’s not quite as easy is it as having it it’s not quite as easy but it was what we used before the app was started that’s right yeah it works doesn’t it it works so yeah in the

Description right should we go to Pat first Pat has submitted this saying this bike is a specialized diver I usually ride my rub sport uh cheap alternative to a rocker plate two generic balance pads 18 bucks each cut in half and placed under my Kicker core legs enough

Motion to increase riding comfort and yet very stable even for Sprints there you go well that’s pretty cool isn’t it I like the cheapness of that and it does look looks pretty good do it that could have made the difference for me in my race with yonas did I tell you I race

Yonas in sep when you say made the difference we don’t know the results yet oh Cy so I mean what a spoiler that is well I could have won by even more yeah no I think that’s cool I mean I said last week to Conor that I’m not a

Massive fan of Rocket plates I don’t feel the need but like that is not off-puttingly rocker platey that just looks like it’s quite subtle isn’t it fairly sensible thing to do really yeah well I am saying hack I say cuz I think it looks neat it was cheap seem sounds like it

Serves the job yeah color coordinated brilliant all right W on Pat Pat from Minnesota uh next up this one from Fabian from Tasmania onor a multi-day touring trip in Tasmania 3 days away from finishing my trip I stacked on loose gravel is that in the spirit of

Things you think yeah yeah it is that’s part of it that’s another bit for the ven diagram while I only scratched my elbow and hip did snap my STI shifter ah I refused to end the trip there and managed to reattach the shifter with a piece of string allowed me to finish the

Trip including going down a 10K downhill and shifting PR well too um string is now going to be in the tool bag oh see I mean it’s quite substantial string and a long piece of it isn’t it that looks good though does it like as in when you

Look at what the shifter was like oh what a mess yeah and then what it ended up as fair play I I that is 100% hack that is like the definition of of a roadside hack to me I’m agreeing with you on hack for that but what I’m

Interested in is that in the picture before the Stream string it looks like there’s already string waiting underneath the the B tape uh waiting to be put into action oh I see what you mean well that’s weird isn’t it I mean the B tape the B tape

Looks like a massive bdge doesn’t it well then the bar tape on this picture looks like normal bar tape H Something Fishy going on here yeah this feels like some kind of investigative journalism there not just the gcn show there is something funny going on right could you

Perhaps get back in touch faban pleas I’m still saying hack well I’m going to say hack as well but please you need to explain the process here maybe just stick a comment under the show if you can but otherwise I’m going to say like gr a hack unless you someone else so far

Then one more to go let’s see how this one goes from David from North Carolina handlebars are underused storage space ideal for an assortment of zip ties in case I or anyone else needs them they weigh nothing and you wouldn’t even know they were there I mean they are useful aren’t they as

Like a get yourself out there so rearview mirrors I’m considering getting one oh yeah I’m just checking the background cuz there was a um there was an Infamous post wasn’t it remember that I do remember the early days of the gcn app where someone had taken a photo and

Hadn’t realized there was a reflective thing in there turns out there was dark naked in the background brilliant I’m going hack I mean I I think they’re right I mean it’s it’s a nice place to store zip ties yeah I mean yeah that’s where zip ties should be like completely hidden they’re not

Rattly are they cuz I mean that would do my absolute nothing if you couldn’t see the zip tie but it just gently rattled in your handlebars um but no I I agree I’m going to say I’m going to say hack hack from 100% hack this week three

Submissions that we’ve brought to you on this week’s GN show don’t forget to get involved again the link is in the description below but it’s upload. Global cycling network.com it’s time now for caption competition that part of the show where you get a chance to get your hands on a coveted

Gcn Camelback water bottle still on placeholders aren’t we yeah no gcn Camelback water bottles just yet but that is what it’s going to look like throwing them over to us very soon wouldn’t he will he they don’t have Cam back bottles do they no I they do

They’re not lucky enough uh anyway uh where was I caption competition this was last week’s photo there we go Tom pidcock winning a cycl across race that is a good photo that is it it’s a good photo I would say it’s a good caption s disagreed with me well it’s a good it’s

A good caption the reason s disagrees is he thinks has no relevance to the photo well you you decide okay viewers come on uh so the winner is quivy ravello sorry just checking I got that right uh Tom pitock Good Start yeah I was out cycling and someone told me that

One of my mud flaps had fallen off I said I’d carry on regardless I mean love the plan words yeah but what that’s got to do with a photograph of Tom pitcock looking over his shoulder in a ccle cross race I don’t know well he’s just he’s looked

Over and realized he’s re guardless is he well I mean potentially I don’t think I’d look that way my mud guard I think I’d go that way I do is that cuz you’re old and it’s hard to look that’s what I’m finding now that’s why like one of

Those rear viw mirrors bik cried on Sunday I was like trying to see if any cars were coming behind me I was like like that anyway I think it was great get in touch with his on Facebook with a message and your address and we’ll get a GN Camelback water sent out

To you bottle yeah right then come on down after one week of absence it’s time for you to flex your muscles this is the photo we’re going to give you this week more inos Riders actually this uh is Vivani and um Ganda what’s his name what’s that guy’s name yeah filipo g

Multi World Time J World hour record what’s his name yeah filipo g can burn off two Big Mac Meals in an hour down at full gas learn at the weekend side all right well we will get you started this week what do you think of your new

Helmet what what do you think of your new helmet sry M what I mean I think that was genius I hope you agree at home yeah uh you won’t have the advantage of doing a sort of an act between two people in the caption competition screen plays are accepted though aren’t they

You could do like you know Vivani yeah says something what’s his name Gana says something else yeah you can put your full script as a caption abolutely in the comment section down below we’ll pick a winner next week I’ll include Sai in picking the winner he didn’t agree

This week um we could get it acted out couldn’t we we could get some trained actors in like Hank yes to uh to do the honors um I’d love to know how much faster if at all those ear aerodynamic you’d hope a lot well I mean I guess because your ears are quite

Aerodynamic anyway mine are not so potenti don’t stick out that much not vast amounts but I mean they are they are big um so yeah I’d be hoping for a couple of Watts gained I’ve I’ve always felt lucky that my ears were like that because I’ve got such a long narrow

Head looks ridiculous if my ears poke out that’s amazing oh brilliant okay it’s the end of the captain competition just before we let you know what’s coming up on gcn this week a look back at some of our favorite comments underneath last week’s uh videos first up underneath last week’s show in which

S and Connor were presenting we had this from Alan Brotherton I enjoyed seeing s and Connor on the GSN show it seemed a much more friendly exchange when s and Dan are on together it seems like a cat fight will break out at any moment yeah I mean quite a lot does

Happen when the camera stops rolling doesn’t it it’s been a fairly difficult 11 years well yeah [Laughter] I can assure you Alan it’s great bance isn’t it it really is it right Dr Rusty 5 I’ve concluded this week that drivers who hate cyclists are the same drivers who just hate anyone

That gets in their way they’re the type of person who needs to find someone else to blame for them leaving late sure some cyclist don’t do themselves any favors but n is some drivers yeah I kind of I agree with that but having heard the the um the Prof

Talking last week like genuinely I do feel like it’s not driver’s fault like it it was all about basically um you were busy racing Y and SE uh basically it’s about how it’s it’s not it’s not a driver’s fault that they hate cyclists or they get frustrated because

Everything about roads is designed to make drivers feel entitled basically and that you know cyclists we like we do just get in the way basically um so um so yeah if you haven’t watched last week I would recommend giving it giving it a watch just like made me feel better

About things so that’s good during my ride on Sunday I was trying to work out if I was more or less of a nuisance now that I’m going significantly slower as in Cas easier to get past yeah perhaps but if you can’t get past then you’re

Stuck for a long time yeah that’s a good point that uh right un does endurance really improve with age uh not currently for me Andrea Brickman but I wonder for nonpr athletes if the fact that you have more time to train can also be a reason

That more people in their 40s and 50s enter endurance races your kids are grown up I can get themselves to their own activities or are moving out and you have more time to train than when you in your late 20s and 30s I know this is

True for me it’s a very good point yeah that is interesting that one actually uh yeah potentially your life does sort of change to allow you to do that it does I can tell you that firstand because you got out on the bike for an hour well

That that Al was awes part because Lorraine took the kids to golf one kid being 21 at Uni the other being 12 on 13 well there you go yeah happy days you’re going to be flying soon mate I will yeah you wait till February of 2025 uh Roger Simmons said my wife once

Suggested I should ride 100 miles a day that way by the end of the week I’d be 700 miles away very good yeah I like that meanwhile underneath how far do I need to ride to actually burn off a Big Mac biane 1984 said love that Simon

Richon had a stunt double for eating the burger yeah I tell you what it was was quite hard finding someone willing to eat it actually yeah it was yeah but fortunately John bevon stepped up to the plate yeah it was Johnny yeah um anyway uh mad Maverick said uh something that a

Lot of people actually commented um I disagree in that I do think that calorie counting has its place if only that it makes me conscious of what I’m eating and in what quantities I eat in that way calor calorie counting helps you live with moderation so yeah so I made a

Comment basically about how um calorie counting is not an effective way of losing weight based on like the overwhelming scientific consensus really that it doesn’t seem to be very good we weight particularly well a lot of people it bounces back it so there’s normally people man to keep it off um but also

Because as we talked about in the video actually calculating how many calories you’re burning is a really inexact science added into the fact that the main thing is that a calorie isn’t a calorie so if you eat a, calories of McDonald’s it’s not necessarily the same as eating 1,000 calories of like whole

Grain goodness with salad and vegetables and stuff like that so you you can’t necessarily guarantee that you’re getting a great diet simply by counting calories but I totally accept that a lot of people have successfully lost weight and improved their health through calorie counting so whilst I agree with

What you say I’m not sure you should have delved into that what is that well I mean I saw an Instagram real from Tim Spectre the other day in which he said that during five myths of food and I went into the comment section what’s a Minefield oh really people were

Disagreeing with Tim Spectre yeah oh wow because he he really does know his onions doesn’t he yeah and broccoli yeah exactly yeah imagine eating a th000 calories of broccoli that would definitely have a different effect to eating a th000 um Brian Johnson on YouTube he’s trying to reverse his age

Eats seven kilograms of broccoli a month it’s part of his order anyway we’re really getting off topic now uh finally de heid rights I’m not sure I’d want to that long if I had to I I like broccol me again in the comments section I think there’s probably a lot of people saying

That yeah so miserable I mean that does seem like a lot like even on like a week by week basis that’s a lot broccoli and I do like broccol under two kilograms a week Char grilled broccoli it’s more in February per day isn’t it oh imagine

That yeah well as if February’s not bad enough already got over those on Broccoli right back to the show yeah David writes are uh you clearly had fun doing that one so I let right on the bike and did my 30 for 30 on Ruby I’ve

Never had a Big Mac uh but I think I burned off the two chocolate digestive I snuck in last night bet you did I bet you did David um they’re tasty aren’t they as well right um thanks for commenting under the GCM we do love reading it and and also like writing

Back to you as well um so we’ll come up with what’s coming up on the channel yes on Wednesday uh train from Ground Zero yeah what’s that about uh Connor basically teaches you or gives you some tips on if you have been well basically for you uh so if you’ve been off cycling

Off exercise for a while kind of giv you some tips on how to get back into it watch that tomorrow then on Thursday tips to nail your winter clothing choices that’s Connor again that is is it yeah right up there for you Canadians with mild wet Winters um Friday do
