Dan & Matt took on the medium route 106km, and 3130m of climbing. Matt appeared to go off too fast, in Dan's words of course.
Taking in the following climbs
Passo Campolongo
Passo Pordoi
Passo Sella
Passo Gardena
Passo Campolongo (again!)
Passo Falzarego
But before they could ride it, the guys had to undertake a medical test to make sure they were in good enough shape to participate. We never had any doubt!
Also show is Dan Lloyd taking part in a kids race, don't ask!

Let us know what you think of Dan & Matt at the Maratona 👇

Global Cycling Network you deserved to win

@mihpop9733 7 лет назад

Finally a video that isn't about how to change gears, or questions being answered by showing old videos.

@alexjrashman 7 лет назад

si would have held the front group ;)

@joaovictorgoncalves6217 7 лет назад

How did John Chocolate Voice ? and the winners of the GCN's competition ?

@gcn 7 лет назад

That's for the Haute Route Joao.

@brianmcg321 7 лет назад

woozer Yep. That was funny.

@OnzaRob 7 лет назад

The best part of this video, two former pros showing the joy of riding your bike is more important than being at the pointy end of the race! Chapeau!

@CulturalCats 7 лет назад

Great to see Matt has his former national Champion stripes for the race, no more electrical tape for him.

@NielsHeldens 7 лет назад

Dan definitely had the best number in the entire event.

@joeyslats31 7 лет назад

(someone may have already suggested this) You guys should do a cheap second hand road bike challenge. and then test them out to see what you can buy for certain budget price points. like a second hand £300 aluminum road bike, each presenter goes off and buys a bike, meets back and tests them out. it could provide great advice on buying second hand bikes for people that either cant afford or dont want to blow £1000+ on a bike.

@alexjrashman 7 лет назад

yes!!!!!!

@ska042 7 лет назад

I mean, £1000 is barely leaving "cheap road bike" territory, for what these guys are used to ;)

@joeyslats31 7 лет назад

cerebellum haha. i suppose so, I mean if youre not a competitive racer and are studying or still in school anything over that is astronomical.

@mathijss.8347 7 лет назад

Ican buy road bikes for

@paras86 7 лет назад

I don't think you can find road bikes for 300 £, brand new road bikes start from 600 £ (if not in special offer, then it may go to a bit less than 500), unless you go second hand, you can't find cheaper bikes, and that if they are even available (so far, saw one once, it became my first rad bike). The most expensive part of a bike is the frame set, if the budget should be that low, the frame should be provided, mid-entry level aluminium maybe? and then the presenters should have a week to find the rest of the parts in second hand for a limited budget (tires maybe also brand new?) and in the evaluation it should be considered the budget and performance in different tests (climbing, sprint, max speed on flat, gear shifting performance, etc)

@workingguy6666 7 лет назад

"!%$@#, I've never seen so many hidden motors in one place." lol

@strokenumber3 7 лет назад

I like Dan's self assessment and his honesty about it, but what I really like is his racer's instinct: "We'll get some on the descent, let's go". And genuinely so happy about his lung capacity too. Heart of a racer, has Dan. I bet he's right about the number of hidden motors out there though...

@snerual2010 7 лет назад

David Simons do you know how expensive hidden motors are?

@dupondavignon869 7 лет назад

+Laurens Verheij : I've just checked for a bike + motor : 5.800 € (carbone frame and fork, shimano ultegra). That's a price pretty many cyclists put in a bike, even if their fitness level is low. Many cyclists are just arrogant and nearly retards, they compare themselves when they cheat with other honest riders, and forget the cheat they made... I just couldn't do this, it's like writing on Wordpad : "I won the Tour de France 2h ahead the 2nd, and this each time I participated to it." and thinking what I just wrote would be true... The fact with retards is they don't realize the history they write is full bullshit, they really think they're strong.

@Sionnach1601 6 лет назад

+dupon davignon: Yeah you're right about a lot of cyclists' arrogance. I've worked and dealt with a LOT of different varied demographs and all types of people throughout my life; and I have NEVER come across such an unfriendly, and insecure demographic of people. The non-competitive people are lovely; but the competitive guys are just so up their own asses. Look down on anything they can, and will not return a friendly salute as they think they are setting land-speed records!! Just asses a lot of them.

@douglasdick464 5 лет назад

I never knew any of the stuff existed until I tuned in, thank you for your humble beginnings that turned into this! Amazing!

@TheWhitster21 7 лет назад

It's because of GCN I found out about the Maratona! What a fun video! I just put the Maratona on my bucket list now. Cheers from Utah!

@pinoy1970 7 лет назад

Great video, A must do for all the cyclist enthusiasts. Thank you Dan and Mat for having time to have picture with our group on Friday at the bottom of valparola. Hehehehe, " we have an appointment, thats the way it goes" 👍

@LukeGJPotter 7 лет назад

One of your best, lads. Great production and editing too.

@ishyr 7 лет назад

Great video!! Enjoyed watching the GCN boys ride in the big sportive so. The classic one liners on hidden motors was hilarious!! Hahahaha....

@SuperTabaka 7 лет назад

Guys, you really are the best Cycling channel there is. Even my wife (who has never sat on a road bike) enjoys your content. Keep up the good work and don't stop producing top notch content.

@dannyhanny1191 7 лет назад

Not even half-way through the video yet, and am relishing it. Great event and video, guys.

@TheWaxChainFanClub 7 лет назад

This is a strong contender for my favourite ever GCN video. I honestly can't think of anything to top it. From any channel. Amazing.

@gcn 7 лет назад

Thanks Michael.

@debidousagi 7 лет назад

That looks like an awesome ride! The Maratona is now officially on my cycling bucket list!

@derekkuhl 7 лет назад

Really great stuff guys! This is one of your best. You should do more sportiv videos, so much fun. All of you have such great chemistry, your videos are so fun to watch. I am thankful you have so many videos, I can binge watch you for weeks. 👍👍👍

@craftyplayss 7 лет назад

What a refreshing video!

@losFondos 7 лет назад

Yeah agreed! Too many new shiny bikes and expensive tech lately...

@DANEX7799 7 лет назад

Seems that they should've watched their own video about preparing for the Maratona

@joestevenson5568 7 лет назад

"it is imperative that you pace yourself" **goes full gas at the head of the race**

@Sionnach1601 6 лет назад

@dankwatts591 7 лет назад

Daniel Lloyd's race number.... nice ;)

@Meur1g 7 лет назад

Best video released by GCN for ages. Great stuff guys.

@gcn 7 лет назад

+Marcus Meyrick glad you liked it

@weru3510 7 лет назад

Very nice video! I met Matt twice at the Pordoi climb and after completing the maratona again on the Valparola downhill, that was pretty fast. Me and another guy tried to stay in your slipstream... was not easy ;-) Matt, very nice guy, was a pleasure to chat with you.

@petinka721 4 года назад

Epic vintage GCN video!

@RAFR3AKY 7 лет назад

this gives me hope. I'm doing a similar distance next Saturday in sunny teesside, and although in much less fit than you guys, it's nice to know oldies can do it too.

@krblackburnuk 7 лет назад

Great video! Brings back memories of 2008 & 2009 (long route) 2010 (medium route after needing new hip), 2016 (long route to test out the new hip!) - the best sportive there is!

@optical6879 2 года назад

Have to agree, I did the long route in 2018, an amazing experience. The scenery at the top of the climbs are just stunning. Getting to the top of the Giau was truly amazing.

@alemangooh 7 лет назад

I live in Italy and it's my dream to ride this maratona. thank you for the video 💙🐨🐨💙

@jackrigal9085 7 лет назад

Really enjoyed watching that do more. Well done guys

@maximilianaulbert2088 7 лет назад

@dom7215 6 лет назад

So a Great Video ! You can feel the Energy of this Event . So Many Crazy People i Love it more of this Style of Video !!!!!

@brianwillaman1776 7 лет назад

@FlatSpinMan 7 лет назад

Daniel Smith I reckon it'd take me about that long, too. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

@Timtimzi 7 лет назад

I'd love to do this ride one day..... it's awesome that gcn had motorbike access to record this event as well

@danwoodman00 7 лет назад

Great video - the footage of the event and your narration was really well done. I'm surprised tho that it was such an effort for you? Still, its nice to think that the GCN team are suffering like the rest of us on these big hills. cheers,

@tdougs77 7 лет назад

hahaha! Matts failed fist bump / offer to do dans washing - amazing!

@dee-jay-gee-bee7659 6 лет назад

4:26 Had to check the comments to see if anyone else found this as funny as I did! Proper lolled and it's gone 3am, I'm sure I'll be hearing about this from the missus in the morning...Thanks for that, Matt...

@scobrackc 7 лет назад

It's more a roadside bodge; run a finger over your chain and transfer that lubricant onto the pump-head screw threads, before putting it onto the tube. It's a bodge because you'll only realise after once the moment has passed.

@mr.actiongal1017 7 лет назад

not the grips😬

@magpie7791 7 лет назад

brackc that's more of a hack I'd just zip tie it to the spokes...

@joestevenson5568 7 лет назад

if its a big pump it might not fit in the frame

@Enigma71559 7 лет назад

LOVE the vid guys. Great job!!!

@Sionnach1601 6 лет назад

Italy's beautiful and the scenery is stunning. But boy, it always looks so damn cold for its sportives. And living in Ireland, I am so sick and tired of cycling in the cold! I think I'd do the Pyrenean Haute or the Alps one instead. Looks a lot warmer!! Well done to the lads though. Great show!!

@goldfever4570 7 лет назад

Great video, would love to see more big sportive or trip videos. You could do one on the Raid Pyrenéen for example

@martinsmith6772 7 лет назад

When I did the maratona there really were loads of motors and old Italian guys laughing, pointing at their bikes yelling moto, moto, brrrm, brrrm and cruising up the mountains. Good on them I say.

@TheNorseGamer 5 лет назад

Would be alot of fun to see you guys do Vätternrundan in sweden! not the toughest ride but would be cool to see you guys cover it and to hear what you guys thought of the ride! Cheers!

@MarkStringer96 7 лет назад

Loved it! Could've been longer, great content there

@joachimstadel937 7 лет назад

Good stuff. I love these climbs although I haven't taken part in this ride (yet). However, you guys should look at the Alpenbrevet (platinum) in Switzerland too.

@ViewTalay 7 лет назад

Great video chaps. Loved the bikes, the scenery and the GCN banter. Dan was also beaten by the kids ;-p

@luisrosano3510 7 лет назад

Time to do another one of htese where you actually do the WHOLE thing !! The really tough bit is getting over the Giau after the 3 Sellas and the 'Longo' twice.. (maybe you missed the time-cut??) Go for it boys !!

@leedorney 7 лет назад

Great to see the lads in good condition on the ride... Matt looked like his old self 👌

@paulverweij6348 6 лет назад

I did the 140k 1,5 year ago... was damn hard but I enjoyed it a lot :) weather wasn't to good in late september :( 2degrees on the last to colls with rain/wettsnow 7hr20min ride with long stop on top of the giau to shelter for some hail and a warm thee :) I rode it on my own with vactation there

@dannyhanny1191 7 лет назад

I think we all loved the casual approach that you guys took toward enjoying, and reporting on, the event - but, at the same time, you guys were/are our resident team, so I'm equally willing to bet most of us were a little disappointed that you guys weren't passing everyone in sight. ;-) Yeah, yeah, you told us that it isn't a race... but we all want to see our GCN team 'school' the competition (at least a good part of the time). I am really torn between appreciating the 'participate' and not 'compete' approach (great to see), and the 'pass and destroy' approach for future events.

@gcn 7 лет назад

Hi David - in all honest, we couldn't. Matt and I raced and trained for many, many years, and competed at a decent level, but we're now retired from that and ride our bikes simply for fun. We're a long way from our race fitness, and to be honest, we've done so much racing that it's quite nice to ride around without worrying about getting passed. Dan

@dannyhanny1191 7 лет назад

I'm honored, Dan, with your reply, and you guys are still our heroes and our team - even if your beer diets aren't quite giving you guys the competitive edge these days.

@benjaminchoo3220 7 лет назад

I wonder how many "Hey, it's GCN!" reactions you guys got along the way :D

@williamtudway1481 7 лет назад

@LoscoeLad 7 лет назад

Great video and good effort youths

@gilesg7697 7 лет назад

Guys, come on, you chickened out, the Giau is the best bit, well the descent anyway, the climb is just damn hard. Where you turned off for the SHORT route, well that just lead on to a fabulous descent to the foot of the Giau. I rode the event last Sunday though never saw you, I`m sure that I would have said hi if I had & yes the Mur du Giat was a killer at the end wasn`t it, the sting in the tail for sure.

@EpicShiba 7 лет назад

@woolfel 7 лет назад

that looks pretty epic

@zombierider2794 7 лет назад

Good job guys! The views in the Dolomites are awesome, I have to check out this ride next year for sure! Also, I saw you guys drinking beer after your ride. Are there any positive effects, aside from fun, that can be had from beer post workout? Cheers!

Go champs go for it, this cyberspace for me is a riding area, pushing pedals connecting people for those who are not your fans yet...for those who are not cycling lovers yet, we have to push pedals a bit some more huh? Enjoying Tour de France these days, be careful the extreme heat everybody Ok?

@jeffdavis5841 6 лет назад

Just wondering I rode the Maratona in 2007 but there was no medical or physical required. Is this something that has been added since the time I rode it? There was a medical statement I had to fill out and sign with the entry package as I remember but nothing once I arrived and picked up my packet/number. Great event to put on ones cycling bucket list!

@andrewhawley7777 7 лет назад

@MVProfits 7 лет назад

It looked bloody cold for a July event! Is it typical in these mountains or just this time? Many riders start like crazed witches but then explode after the first climb. I think so anyway LOL It must hard to pace oneself when ego gets in the way... And I cringed at the 4h30 wake up time... Why are these events always so early? Body is simply not ready yet.
