From the Central Coast of Chile welcome to the gcn show hello and welcome to the gcn show coming up this week we ask the newly crowned gravel world champion cashier new 21 hard-hitting questions as the second ever gravel world champion can you explain to us what the spirit of

Gravel is we’ve also got exploding track Riders some science some hot Tech Plus the latest from Advanced physics news and parking Network really like [Applause] really this week in the world of cycling we learned that AOG Gravel Products have now officially crossed the line GCM presenter Alex got his hands on Head’s new gravel wheel which isn’t 40 mm deep it isn’t 60 mil deep it isn’t even even

80 mm deep nope it’s 180 mm deep yeah no just no someone put a stop to it UCI come back All Is Forgiven now for viewers of a certain experience level you might think that this is very nearly history repeating itself with a tyoga disc drive from early ’90s manb and

You’re pretty much right I think anyway we also learned that some of you have requested nutrition advice to help get you through the gcn show Robert Charles wonders how many gels he needs to watch to the end without blowing well it’s a good question Robert yeah it is I would

Say one scientist bought beat a fuel Jael at the start of the cycling short segment but if you find the show particularly heavy going yeah some of you might you may well need a second gel at the end of hack for/ bodge yeah finally we also learned this week that

By winning The Unofficial gravel season finale Big Sugar newly Crown World Champion Casher nuvia Doma is more than up to the task for proper us CR gravel that’s right gravel snobs take note us gravel is the same as European gravel which is to say it’s just really small

Bits of ground up rocks yeah exactly her winning margin was 9 minutes over second place and the rest of the top 10 were just separated by four well that is some right isn’t it could she be the new queen of gravel potentially although a lot depends frankly on how many gravel

Races she’s actually planning on doing well roing reporter Alex went to find out as well as helping our gravel NB Chloe in her big event and as well as hunting out the best tech he also managed to sit down with cashia and Ida for 5 minutes

To get the answer to that burning 21 Questions cassia are you ready for your worst ever interview this is going to be 20 questions it’s actually 21 Questions 21 yeah yeah 21 questions don’t know if I can be ready for that yeah well okay it’s fine here it goes so where does the

Gravel World Championships rate on your list of achievements oh it’s a hard one actually um I think it’s a solid top three I would say uh just because of the celebration afterwards and uh I feel like the last victory happened in 2019 and for so long I was crossing the

Finish Line just like with my head down cuz I would get second third or like fifth fourth whatever so being able to like raise my head this time I don’t know why this moment kind of got Glow In My Memory but it definitely felt great and seeing Beth and Julia and my team

There for me it was very special so if it was in your top few achievements what would you say is your best ever like what’s your best day on the bike the best day on a bike H it wasn’t a race I would say it was just Adventure I went

On with my partner Taylor we went exploring the world and we spent the whole day outside riding having fun and jumping into the sea and just feeling like a kid you know exploring that sounds better than any R know it’s definitely not like one of those really

Ugly Classics in Belgium when it’s like pouring rain and you just fight for your life well actually that leads me nicely to the next question what’s the worst the worst oh my goodness um I think it was woman’s tour 2018 uh first stage cuz just before

Arriving to UK I kind of sickish so I was hoping I could Rec before that and then we SP like 5 hours in a pouring rain and it was so slow cuz the rain race was long and no one wanted to go hard from the start so the rain is just

The UK yeah exactly it was a really long wed day yeah okay fair play um what race would you most want to win wow that’s a hard one cuz there are a few of them um but the first race that came to to my mind was to the friends

When I think about longer Olympic Games okay wow yeah um what is your favorite coffee oh I love L I love like a big cup of L you chose a cappuccino I know cuz I need to reduce amount of milk I’m drinking cuz otherwise I’m a milk lover

And when you stop and have a coffee what cake you having with it m I usually like like caramel slice or tahini bar made by me us made for you okay what would be your perfect post race meal uh always burger and fries and lots of ketchup I’m

Also a ketchup girl would you wear your leg warmers over your socks or underneath of your socks uh underneath my socks okay beer wine or something else uh definitely something else what would it be gin tonic Yeah okay or yeah usually Gonic or apperal sprits in summer yeah Arrow or lightweight uh

Lightweight favorite place to ride um damn a lot of it I think my hometown the tat mountains what makes it so special I have a lot of memories uh that were made there and anytime I go back home I feel like I can believe it yeah like yeah okay white shorts or

Black shorts with your new world Champs Jersey black shorts do you obsess over your bike setup or do you just get on and ride it Go and ride it what what’s better Road or Gravel Road if you were president of the UCI for just one

Day what would you do wow that was a tough question yeah that’s a that’s a tough one uh what would I do I would I guess throw a nice party for all the cyclist so we could like I don’t know Bond or have fun together yeah okay big

Party for the UCI yeah um short Riders yeah yeah short h intensity intervals or a Long training ride um both both yeah oh okay early morning yoga or would you rather hit the snooze button and go back to sleep go back to sleep what motivates you to keep training and racing uh

Losing oh interesting um as the second ever gravel world champion can you explain to us what the spirit of gravel is what I really like about gravel is that before the race everyone is Chill and cool-headed and relaxed and it feels like in some ways no one cares but the

Reality is that they really care about like the proper preparation and being ready but they just like are cool about that and then during the race it’s very uh just organized and prepared and you feel like you can be focused and concentrated and then again after the

Race everyone is chilled so I like the fact that when it has to be strict and like I don’t know proper like the relaxed atmosphere and then it gets serious yeah exactly okay um what is the best piece of advice anyone has ever given

You um I think just to like have fun on the bik and stop stressing okay what question should we ask the next pro cyclist that we interview what’s their favorite meal okay and finally but actually there was a question like this the post race meal maybe was their favorite song to like

Like get like okay I’m in the mood now yeah what would be like the song they listen to before a race yeah okay and then finally who’s your favorite gcn presenter do I have a choice right now other than saying you yeah you have a choice I don’t mind

Chloe Chloe doesn’t count but she’s wearing dyn too she probably do a better job than me Chloe you’re now famous there you go thanks very much that’s amazing she is cool isn’t she have you got crush on ey oh supp suppose a little bit of one

If I’m totally honest but no I mean she’s just like she’s just a great Ambassador for the sport all around yeah right let’s move on to py shorts shall we H with the news that track cycling is back the UCI track Champions League started in New Yorker the weekend some

Great racing was on display in Palmer but One race that made the headlines was the men’s Elimination race which saw 11 of the 18 Riders hit the deck in the opening few laps yeah it’s hard to see exactly what happens other than something detonating in the middle of

The bunch luckily all Riders are okay but that’s one way to make a bang isn’t it it is start with a bang should I say yeah I don’t think you need to see what happens frankly because we all know it’s a result of racing in a bunch with no

Breaks yeah you sound a little scared sigh well I am like fixies well what should we say I would say they suck but clearly there’s a lot of people out there that really like them for some reason but they are definitely not for me brakes and free

Wheels are what makes cycling great if you take off those you might as well just go jogging well don’t forget you can catch up all the action with these Daredevil track Riders over on the GCM Plus app yeah and the cycl cross season as well which has kicked off in style

Too now back to V James for a second though because Victoria Busy has reclaimed the world hour record and in doing so she has become the first woman to break the 50 km barrier what an incredible ride now we did mention in last week’s show the father and daughter who rode

1,343 miles on the tanon to celebrate her 16th birthday in order to create the world’s biggest piece of straa art in the shapee of a beautiful heart it was was delightful wasn’t it um well Frederick and Matilda deuel were not the only ones crazy enough to ride an insane

Distance all in the name of Art and Records because David schart has set a new Guinness World Record riding 982.551 straa art is a separate category apparently yeah who knew that anyway we have got to thank GCM viewer Ian Stewart for this next story which was then

Picked up by our gcn website a new study has just been published in Frontiers in sport and active living one of my personal favorites I bet it is mate um it involved more than a, middle school children across 20 schools in the United States who were put through a 6 to 8 we

Program designed to introduce ruce young people to basic cycling skills and proficiency as well as physical activity okay the study however looked at their mental health before and after and the results showed significant improvements with a decrease of participants in the critical risk Zone from 26 to 21% I mean

That is great isn’t it sticking with young people for the moment though we spotted this on the advanced physics news website like seriously you are going to have to explain what on Earth you were doing on Advanced physics news I can’t believe you need to ask well I think anyway I’m

Sure you all remember or have a truly great influential teacher but how about this for inspiration Canadian teacher Michael Gregory has cycled the equivalent of a lap around the planet visiting 40 countries in order to share his passion for the beautiful art of science the art of science yeah nice I

Like that M yeah right to connect with more science Educators and to share his ideas for educational experiments apparently he bought a bike and hit the road starting from his home in San Francisco he went North back to Canada where he began doorstepping by count science teachers um apparently arriving

On a bicycle was bit of an icebreaker so yeah there you go now that’s amazing is it a traveling physics evangelist which is just great phys get a bad rap I’ve got to say and it really shouldn’t so I’ve got to say big well done to Michael

That’s right now given that we have just had a random website Cameo Hank courtesy of you perhaps you could just fill us in on what the latest of your absolute favorite websites uh parking network is do you know what I can do just that because we’ve got some big news in the

World of parking adaptive recognition launches Carman Cloud trans transforming yeah transforming parking management with cloud inov ation it’s a groundbreaking solution designed to revolutionize parking management and operations so there’s some really exciting stuff happening on parking. network yeah I mean that does sound quite exciting man um okay well lastly

We’ve got a bit of new cycling tech for you as well Haven we cash newa her again won the gravel worlds on the new Canyon Grail but at the same time mat maharic also won the men’s gravel worlds on one at the time was unreleased merid yeah it

Broke cover last week though confirmed as the new silx and despite it being used to win the World Champs it is apparently more versatile and Adventure ready there you go now speaking of Adventures hopefully by now you will have seen olle and Alex’s lap of meor aside from Alex very nearly dying

Finishing looked like he’d ridden across the Sahara quite frankly um it was a banger of a video wasn’t it it really was and if you haven’t seen it you have to see this pace Palm moment where olle gets a flat and neither gcn Tech presenter had a pump or a tube with them

Which is what they were looking at marginal gains you know olle bangs on about this constantly he even told me about this this morning about this weird sleeve bra thing his hero bra yeah yeah but like think about the basics you know well yeah I mean a marginal gain of not

Taking an Inu with you is fairly marginal particularly when you then get a flat but anyway fortunately though a group of cyclists came to their aid as good roadside Samaritans Anyway said good roadside Samaritans have now got in touch so thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Warren mccormac and

Friends for bailing out a couple of hapless newbie cyclists yeah drop us a message Warren with your details because we’d like to award you the highest Accolade here at gcn a gold Elite water bottle oh yeah so far only handed out to another Good Samaritan who rode back to

Connor’s Aid in Unbound and Andre Connor who heard it a pack of rampaging grass puppies too that’s right yeah so there you go congratulations I think that’s probably more copper isn’t it than uh than gold I’ll tell you what is bronze anyway it’s a lovely color yes I mean

That is a high acol not goinge get in touch I tell you what I’d lend someone a che with the roadside if I get one of those in return ABS lutely mate that’s not the only way there is it this weet of course we got caption competition

Coming up but we’ve got a competition running at the minute as well haven’t we yeah we’ve got some clothing from Gore and uh it’s actually ending on the 27th so time to get your entries in W you got be quick there you and you get some transition bib shorts and a gortex

Jacket too you actually rode in those didn’t you I did yeah and I can say that they can handle most and pretty much every Adventure because we went through some pretty harsh temperatures and conditions it was pretty gnarly that was your trying to ride to the most remote

Pub and let me tell you I wouldn’t do it on a bike we were told actually that this isn’t something that you should do and we did it and let me tell you we we got stuck out there yeah you were told not to do it we were told by our guide

That it wouldn’t be like it’s not you know it’s not safe for cyclist you either should he’s never met Hank though has he no one says no to H completed it say there we go thanks to your Gore jacket and shorts um now unfortunately there are some entry restrictions in

Terms of whereabouts in the world you live which is unusual for gcn so apologies for that um but anyway give it a try fingers crossed you’ll be one of the lucky winners it’s now time for hack forward SL bodge of the week just before we

Start mate I think this is this is the problem with us GCM presenters is that we come up with a nutritional strategy and then we probably forget about it so um yeah this is your reminder that you’re now late for your energy gel do you need that you

Have just had lunch haven’t you I have just had lunch I don’t think I need energy just this time okay but I’m just going to have it in the back pocket what that’s that’s a risky place to put it oh my God just in case I do need it yeah

Okay anyway there we go carry on right it’s s time for hack forward SLB of the week right kicking off with this for um or from the Candice Cadence cat um the new Jiro synth 3 and this is basically designed from bananas it is indeed yeah uh he said it’s available in

Yellow only or green for a short period of time which is quite good comedy bounce there um I feel like I might have seen this photo I I have seen it float around but it is uncanny how much it looks like a jro synth helmet so there

You go clearly modeled on it but I think you might have got your bananas on the wrong way around that looks a bit less Arrow than if you had him flip the other way but anyway um I’m going to give that a massive bodge it’s it’s a bodge

There’s there’s no question although 72% of you lot think it’s a hack so uh um worrying yes uh right next up we saw this uh wind chime outside a bike shop in Mount Vernon Hawaii Hawaii Ohio sorry uh according to Detroit Johnny so um well that’s quite a nice little wind

Chim isn’t it a few old frames look like they have been sacrificed on the altar of that wind chime I’ve never actually seen a wind chime made out of a bike pass so it’s a first for me um that’s a hack from me it’s a hack from me and 87%

Of you guys on the app also thought it was a hack so fair play nice number three we got a uh got fed up of learning my bikes or hang my bikes up against stuff so built a Wei stand out of a scrap wood Johnny Spitfire 76 and check

That out for a bike stand that’s not a Wii stand that’s an absolute Whopper of a stand look at that yeah I mean I’ve got to say hack like I mean it is fairly industrial so I think you need quite a bit of space it’s not the one of these

Like space saving B Storage it’s more of like a kind of like a sculptural thing if you’ve got a big empty room and you can put your bike private place in the middle you need without a doubt one of Johnny spitfire’s bike stands so yeah

I’m going to say hack is is very robust it is indeed yeah um 89% of you thought think that’s a hack as well is that really scrap wood that looks like nice wood doesn’t it it does yeah depends where you got it from well yeah maybe

You’re just an avid DIY Johnny and you happen to have book shelf that’s it yeah oh yeah no don’t sacrifice your own table for a bike stand that’s not scrapwood that’s like Furniture don’t do that right then uh number four this was sent in by Luke ruton I’ve always been

Annoyed at the standard SKS manometer on the SKS Ren compressor pumps well I haven’t but there we go it’s tiny and N to 16 bars is overkill that does sound quite Overkill actually 16 Bar would be a lot um anyway I replaced it with a larger diameter n to

10 bar meter the new 63 mil meter is much more readable 4 to six bar is now in the mid-range and I can actually see a difference between 4.8 and 5.3 there you go um I me they go on Luke goes on and on and on here but um in

Essence I think we can see what you’ve done made a bigger dial yeah basically um and it’s a hack because that like you know the original does look real small it’s a bit vintage in it 16 Bar yeah like um track Rider I think that’s genius I think that’s genius although

Can I say honestly nothing beats a digital gauge if we’re getting nerdy I think that might have made the difference if you got a digital gauge on there um have you got a digital g gauge on your pump on one of my pumps and it it sounds really stupid but

Um I’m lost without it really yeah yeah I’ve never never had a digital but I might have to try now particularly for gravel it’s like well how do you know if you’ve got 33 PSI or 31 PSI cuz the difference is mindblowing so uh not wrong actually there you go yeah

Something for me to think about there absolutely mate yeah anyway I would applaud Luke and say that is a hack but um but next time put a digital one on it’s basic same but you can do better yeah exactly and why is it not 3D printed and it also you probably need to

Calibrate it don’t you so well 93% of you guys out there also said it was hacked so I think it’s a big hack it is a big hack isn’t it um now we’re going to finish off actually with a little update from last week because someone had 3D printed something which is great

They 3D printed a dut mounting device onto the down tube of their bike which you know is right in the firing line of every possible nasty that you run over also someone commented that you might get attacked by seag girls in certain parts likely um but then I quite like

This from Buster Brown who said that doughnut hack is not a hack it’s a snack there you go and Nessie Japan said put the dut holder on your helmet and ride like a unicorn which I think that’s great isn’t it you could be like you could be the person on your group ride

Who hands out all the time just lean your head forward have a little nibble on the end yeah there you go so one for Ollie I can imagine Ollie with one of those on his helmet yeah if you could send one in a helmet mounted unicorn donut storage device yeah Ollie will try

It with a whole load of crispy creams yeah cuz if you say it’s more Arrow 100% buy into it would he yeah I love that he can wear it with his Arrow let’s make that happen let’s make that happen right give it a like and we’ll make it Happ

That’s right yeah if you uh if you want to submit a hack or a bodge you know what to do put it on the gcn app where you can vote on all the others that are up there as well actually and we will pick a few to go through next

Week 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 Elite water bottle I mean having biged up the metal one a few moments ago I feel like this feeling sorry for itself but no no this is like

Iconic isn’t it and you can’t fit the other one in your bike you can that goes to the bike B cage there you go you know you every day anyway uh this was the photo that we gave you last week Hank can you describe said photo

For yeah so we’ve got the two hater boys at uh of Great Britain basically we’ve got Ethan with his hand on Leo’s head or helmet um it’s quite a nice it’s quite a nice looking photo of of them both I think Dan’s comment last week was that

It was like a tempin bowling ball yes it’s a good way but B BR Bob Braton sorry Bob uh has got the winning caption this week the UCI has now banned the sticky helmet hack that some Riders were using see what we did there bit like sticky

Bottles for sticky helmets nice I like it genius that is good is it uh Bob get in touch and we will send you your classic coveted gcn Elite water bottle yeah yeah right this week’s photo Hank again what on Earth is going on here this week’s photo we’ve got uh all the

Riders of or at least six of the Riders of AR samik sitting on chairs looking like they’re being well they’re just waiting for sign on or something and it I have to admit it calls out for a very easy caption from me call it mate you get started the caption is AR Samick

Couldn’t get their bus over to China but don’t worry David DEA is willing to take over his bus driver no I should did that he did that cuz he’s got got his hands up like he’s driving the bus is it a single Decker or a double decker it’s a

Single Decker uh it’s pretty fast but at the moment it’s run out of patch you got my great joke there did you never mind never mind yes because it’s David deer there you go genius right okay if you think you can beat H’s comment H’s caption rather get involved in the

Comment section down below and we will pick another winner next week it’s now time for comment of the week the moment of the show where we run through some of the best comments over the last seven videos and you’ve left some absolute bangers kicking off with a

Few comments under last week’s show one of from moror the worst type of cyclist to ride with is any other cyclist I like riding by myself I spent all weeks surrounded with people having to constantly communicate with others at work I need the Solitude and silence and

I’m not going to lie I also sometimes like be on my own not often not often no you don’t but sometimes half an hour is fine it’s fine for me so yeah I I don’t I think you just like if there’s no one around I’m pretty sure you just sit in a

Corner and just like like just switch off until someone turns up and then you be like hey how you doing I am an extrovert you know I thrive with people but sometimes I do not think you understand where moreor is coming from con be honest I like do you like a solo

Bicycle ride yeah for half an hour 45 minutes riding to somewhere where those people fair play no there was a lot of people commenting about like effectively solo B rid the only time b r Steve Smith uh put it well he said thanks for explaining cycling what most people already

Suspected a group ride is the equivalent of sticking hot needles in your eyes it can be get a good group and it’s brilliant yeah exactly all it takes is one person to kind of like disrupt the V yeah Andre hernes said in mountaineering the act of waiting for a slur member of

The group just long enough for him to catch up and then setting off right away it’s called the Italian break it’s considered bad matters I did not know that I didn’t know that either and you know I do a little bit of mountaineering and that always does happen you know you

Just one person just arrived and bang Gone Gone take no prisoners that’s right you saw that in action actually by the end of Ollie and Alex’s lap of me yes O’s like don’t worry Alex mate help get you through this I’m just going to ride by myself and then wait every now and

Then true Ollie style but to be fair I mean it also having been that person it is really annoying isn’t it if you’re like oh my God I just need to get home I just need to get home I’ve been on my bike for 9 hours you’re not wrong anyway

This next one made me really chuckle Victor Lee said uh added in the comment section basically that annoying P cyclist AR is the cyclist who knows everything and talks non-stop throughout the ride to which Jesus Pascal Camino said well that would be the mansplainer as pointed out by Sai mansplaining comes

From joining mans and the end of explaining as a term coined to describe a man as this is usually a masculine trait that goes to Great Lengths to explain things to others that otherwise are quite self-evident and might already be known to their interlocutors usually without the interlocutors having to ask

For an explanation in the first place so there we go the orang is a mansplaining there we go anyway to begin with I was like seriously does this guy not spot the irony Anyway by the end I was like oh no that’s the whole point it was

Ironic so I did have a chuckle to that one so thank you very much Jesus uh right and then last one thank you Jesus in the um in the search for books written about bicycling turns out to scooter that Socrates by bike is a classic written by guo Martin the very

Same guo Martin of C it this yet apparently it’s not been translated into English yet probably why I wouldn’t be able to read it no uh it is available in German and French yeah so we understand definitely that counts me out right next up we’ve got talk of lap around the

Island we’ve got one from Shan 7163 I’ve got nothing left mate I know but I’ll help that’s the spirit as Hank said in the previous video the race comes second and guess what your mates come first do they they do do they really yeah I mean for me anyway yeah right um

No it’s true they do and if you get a ride around mayorca with your mate then you kind of have to finish together don’t you because if you finish on your own oh imagine yeah that would have been that would have been frowned upon um

Anyway and then 66 mcke said I felt that Bonk we’ve all been there cudos for finishing the ride yeah was in a hole that was some serious Bonk wasn’t it yeah six flipping kilos he lost ouch there’s something in that yeah um on Conor’s cyc race cyclocross race uh we

Got one from bike and dog trips his love for the soil you no bounds for in the mud true Freedom he found no judgment no cares just pure Bliss as he danced and twirled in the mud’s sweet of this that is beautiful it’s beautiful I love it

Poetry and that really stood out to me in the comments um because that really does marry up what Connor’s psych cross experience was like was slightly more artistic than Connor’s actual cycl cross experience but but maybe that’s maybe we need some a cycling poetry anthology that would be great imagine you could

Just go through the men’s and the women’s prop pellaton and ask them to write poems yeah and I read them it’d be like the most beautiful podcast ever because I’ve got like a voice like Harry Styles he does like um Harry Styles does like going to sleep reading books and I

Thought and he’s got really VI voice like goes like that and it’s like I think I can do it I was thinking he’s not he’s not the most famous kind of like Global oror but um you know he’s no he’s um no he’s not clearly T and glad
