Just before heading out to Malta, Heather and Mark were presented with a challenge, the first GTN presenter challenge!
Heather Vs. Mark in the format of bike and then run! They had to start on bikes in the medieval city of Mdina, close to the centre of the island. It was then an unsupported race to the finish line at Popeye village, famous for being the set for the 1980 film Popeye.
Other than it being bike then run, with a transition point at Golden Bay they weren’t given any other rules or restrictions.
Check out how they got on, and who came out on top in the first ever GTN presenter challenge!

It's the FIRST EVER GTN Presenter Challenge – what do you think we should do for the next one? Let us know.
Awesome !
mark put gloves on
excellent tunnel audio, road biking is superior indeed 🙂
always cycle with gloves!
cool, that you are showing the xterra part, just startet xterra racing myself this year (the duathlon), would not mind, seeing more of that aswell. keep it up, cheers from Denmark
When did you Guys filmed this? At 4am? When i visited Malta the streets were extremely full
Now I want to go to Malta for my next vacation. This looks like it was a blast!
Well now Mark's showing off his MTB skills we need to get him in the mix for the next cross channel MTB race against the Don and Si.
Not running tubeless though?
YAYY!!!! you came to my home country 😀 Loved the race
I love this channel but don't like topgear style fake af challenges. Don't need artificial drama, music or acting. Id much rather see the odd boring predicable outcome and feel its real than see one fake one and have every other loose a bit of cred. Keep it real! Again: love the channel, watch every video and the how too and tips videos are incredibly useful, thank you
I loved that Heather's first thought when she heard that Mark had fallen wasn't the race but is he alright.
Heathers comment at 5:25, “Is it really mean if I like try and crack on?” Had me rolling! Fantastic content yet again. Really enjoyed watching this one.
Love this video! More challenges please!
I live in malta
Technically he cheated when saving time by not dressing properly.
Love from nepal
Uhm… triathlon participants have to CHANGE clothes when changing between cycling and running? Seems incredibly silly. Maybe if the girl had the kind of shoes that stick in pedals and those are terrible for running, I could understand changing shoes, but all cloths? Cycling and running are too similar to required changing clothes.
Loved this video!! I am from Malta and I get lost too sometimes LOL! Great content keep it up guys.
Back in 1990 l used to go All over the island with my Gainte mouten bike.Nice to see nothing much has changed.
nice of them to cut out the bit where Mark stopped for pizza
Mark falls off the bike for getting carried away… gets carried away jumping the bricks in the run again… good thing he didn't fall again xD
As a local the locations are not in sync, but still entertaining video.
