When people think of Finale Ligure, they think of great trails, great gelato, and great pizza. What better way to spend a day than combining all three?!
With some enforced downtime after an unfortunate crash early on during our trip to Finale, Isaac Mundy set Blake Samson, Rich Payne, and Anna Cipullo some fun (and fiendish) challenges to put their riding skills, Finale Outdoor Region knowledge, and tolerance for humiliation to the test.
Who could drink the most espresso? Who would be brave enough to death-grip a rock garden? And which presenter could successfully sabotage the other two? There’s only one way to find out…

How do you think you would have done in our Ultimate Finale Challenge? Who do you think deserved to win? Let us know in the comments!
How about as winter is coming a "snow theme challenge" in France or Austria or Scotland ? In scotland gotta eat a haggis, in France Andouillettes, in Austria Labskaus or Tiroler Gröstl
great and funny vid Blake wuz robbed LoL
That was good stuff. Do more like that. Especially with Anna. She’s amazing.
Richards voice can be grating
There are wanted posters all over Italy for the food crimes you guys committed 😂
👌 very entertaining
“That’s my kind of trick!” 😂❤
I would have loved to help with the Espressi
Can u do a video you only talk afrikaans
Anna dogpoo.
Love Anna. She didn't win but she took it to the boys.
It’s a dubby not a backy. Dubby as in a double mr blake
I'm right there with ya on the coffee Rich, I felt your pain!
Men's DH ist closed for good. Don't know why they rode that.
Awesome video!! More of these please!
Awesome stuff as always. More challenges!
Awesome episode 🤘
road rash sting! Nasty. Heal quickly Isaac
Brilliant 😅
good recovery!!! Get heakthy soon!
Absolutely class FairPlay
Very crazy funny Challenge, its amazing what you can do in one day.
The icecream really was the worst. 😂
Loved the swimming
Loved it! I would have happily watched an hour of this. Always good vibes when Anna rides. I was waiting for Blake to stab Rich's tire lol. Good luck on the recovery Isaac.
Gutted you came off on tarmac Isaac. Get well soon ❤
Thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed watching this, thanks for making it. I didn't stop smiling throughout , please keep it up brilliant!!!!!!
That was a brilliant vid! Great to see the competitiveness between these three
More Challenges!
Ha ha loved this vid!
This is great 😂
A good one very funny
This is awesome. Presenter challenges are my fav gmbn videos and this is the best of them imo.
Think that was the best one yet. Anna deserves a recording contract!!
The boys made this one, Rich and Blake were hilarious. It was a shame Anna’s performance of fun seemed so forced and fake when the others looked like they were genuinely having a good time. Great vid gmbn
Hilarious! 😂
I don"t ride my MTB as much as my road bike, but your videos are miles better than GCN's!
Can GMBN presenter please take 5min to at least learn how to pronounce the place names properly? You'd sound so much better if you did. Just saying….
Yes another Challenge video 👊
This format is fantastic guys and the Sabotage challenge is awesome 😂
You all made an awesome effort, hat off to Anna to having 6 Expresso !!! 🤢
Rich having his 1st and I'd imagine only Expresso 🤣🤣🤣
Jack with the 'are these trousers' comment priceless as was Blake's reaction 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome stuff #GMBN 🤘
Great video you three are savage all in good fun of course 😂
Do a "Collect M-T-B" challenge next time!
Isaac my side matches your. I'm almost healed and the itching is worse than the first day burning😂❤
That was hilarious. How many attempted sabotages did you guys squeeze in? Did Rich get extra points for doing a wheelie whilst singing opera? Anna definitely had the best singing voice. Blake's face just lights up when you mention a train. But wow Isaac, I think you have got to send your video in to fails of the week with that crash,
that was gnarly, glad you're up and walking. I don't think Rich blowing out the crocs and scraping his shin could top that crash. Speedy recovery with that gravel rash, that was a big hit.
This has been brilliant!! Excellent video keep it up guys …
Probably the best video you guys have done. Loved it!!
Just wondering why a few of you don’t wear gloves. There’s loads of trail gloves which can be worn in warmer weather. This would prevent a lot of damage to your hands in the way which Isaac has suffered from when he came off in this video. The first things you always put down are your hands.
Just wondering what your thoughts and comments are regarding this.
Love the video and the channel by the way. Always extremely entertaining and informative.
