Gcn presenter race idea: 1km TT except not on bikes but on tiny pink tricycles with a bell and tinsel wrapped around the handlebars

@fergusjones677 7 лет назад

Mind you that's probably Simons bike of choice anyway

@MusingsFromTheDen 7 лет назад

Yes! Make it so, GCN! 😁

@Dparrey 7 лет назад

Will be great to see their "bike fit"

@perrytheplatypus8133 7 лет назад

Daniel hahaha 😂

@allbunsglazing 7 лет назад

make this happen or I unsubscribe

@MusingsFromTheDen 7 лет назад

I knew G wouldn't crack in the stare test! 😁 And what happened to the cappuccino test?

@jspaceman71 7 лет назад

I knew it was fusilli from that episode of Seinfeld. It's Fusilli Jerry!

@joshmagrum3552 7 лет назад

it appears they go to the same barber

@leedorney 7 лет назад

My position on the cycle feels like the same as GT's looks... 🤔

@tlove9125 7 лет назад

Matt is getting soft. What happened to his former pro "take no prisoners" competitiveness? He helps pick up Geraint's motorcycle, he gives hints during the pasta test, and wilts in the Staring to the Death competition. Very disappointing. Matt used to be my hero. Maybe I will switch allegiance to the former Cervelo Test Team rider guy.

@MartinLeventon 7 лет назад

Is it just me or does Geraint look like he could be Matt in his younger years ? Similar face and hair !

@AlvarWahle 7 лет назад

Perhaps his evil younger brother

@NielsHeldens 7 лет назад

Martin Leventon well Matt once stated that he liked training in Wales. And guess where Geraint is from...

@simonrano8072 7 лет назад

But actually Matt is Michal Kwiatkowski's hidden father

@ganainm5113 7 лет назад

@ Niels Heldens - Wikipedia tells me Matt won the Junior Tour of Wales twice. In '87 & '88. One of only two riders to have won the race twice apparently.

@NielsHeldens 7 лет назад

Gan Ainm to add to that, Geraint was born in '86. It just raises more questions.

@liambarber9036 6 лет назад

and Tour de France winner, Geraint Thomas,

@jaydenhunter648 6 лет назад

Yup, the welsh tdf winner

@natehart4050 7 лет назад

... 2:25 ... Cheeky attempt by G to derail Matt :)

@perrytheplatypus8133 7 лет назад

Nate Hart haha sharp eyes mate

@slimjimmypage 7 лет назад

Challenge a rider who doesn't speak any English and then don't translate the instructions. Surely you couldn't lose that.

@MultiWerner11 7 лет назад

pasta knowledge test, gcn has changed

@csantos2 7 лет назад

Without Matt's help with the penne I don't think that Geraint would have...pasta test.

@FlatSpinMan 7 лет назад

csantos2 Magnificent. A pun of this stature deserves some kind of official GCN recognition.

@TomTomLo1 7 лет назад

He knew it... but must have affogato

@jamesd5241 7 лет назад

Fuck me he looks lean this season

@NielsHeldens 7 лет назад

Look at them, just like father and son... And before you start to think that I'm insane for thinking this(well, I am but not because of this). Matt once stated that he liked "training" in Wales.

@jacksquat2067 7 лет назад

Really emotive guy, that Geraint Thomas. :P

@earthstick 7 лет назад

Pasta no.3 is also know as hulahoopolini

@uberbeasting99 7 лет назад

Geraint Thomas? more like Ge-Right Thomas

@joppiejoo77 7 лет назад

Josef Nelson Saik

@liambarber9036 7 лет назад

Geraint thomas just looks so done with this from the beginning. no offense

@mcclausky 5 лет назад

Yes exactly

@cup_and_cone 7 лет назад

In America, fusilli pasta is literally called "spiral"... #Sophisticated

@samuelzivin7276 7 лет назад

Yeah, and farfalle is called "bow-tie", we're classy here in the U.S.

@earthstick 7 лет назад

ROFL, its a helix, not a spiral.

@literoadie3502 7 лет назад

Yeah, should be helical!

@EloraBlue 7 лет назад

It's ok. In America it's 'alternative ' pasta.

@zafferung4440 6 лет назад

*USA Stupid fucking arrogant, ignorant Yanks.

@ozgeatik5053 7 лет назад

I LOVE YOU. I LIVE IN TURKEY. YOUR VIDEOS ARE VERY GOOD HOPE YOU SEE MY REMARK❤❤❤❤❤

@gabymhunter 6 лет назад

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but..... More respect please he's a tdf champ now. Respect to G

@fbaqueda 7 лет назад

Garent Thomas such a class act great video guys as always

@big_o_7956 7 лет назад

I am welsh and Froomey and Geraint are my heroes

@phillentz6742 7 лет назад

0 for 3? I think my 6 year old could beat you! Great stuff!

@Toastybear1 7 лет назад

this was quite a good idea to start with, and makes for entertaining viewing, but its starting to feel a bit strained i think. i think id rather just see you do a proper interview with these riders, maybe ask unorthodox questions instead of playing unorthodox games?

@CrookDanny 6 лет назад

This makes me sad again that Matt is gone lol - GCN is simply wonderful!

@Phantom0309 7 лет назад

what has happened to GCN?

@jacgn_cycling 7 лет назад

Cav was so much more fun.

@EloraBlue 7 лет назад

and this is why professional athletes should be seen and not heard....I'm going to go watch the paint dry in my hall now, more rewarding

@jonowee 7 лет назад

Plenty of lively pros out there, Geraint isn't one of them.

@GaerHampton 7 лет назад

I correctly "educated-ly guessed" the book coffee question even before the multiple choice answers were presented! (My wife is my witness!) What do I win?! G couldn't even get it right ;)

@edwardowen2 7 лет назад

Don't mean to be negative but has GCN completely ditched the cycling content now and just does fluff pieces? I for one would have liked to hear some questions asked of Geraint

@TomTomLo1 7 лет назад

A video every day? That's strong content. But agreed, hope they got an interview off the back of this :)

@themanonthemoon111 7 лет назад

isn't Matt doing stuff with Eurosport during the Giro. Maybe he's busy or there's some sort of exclusivity contract, as in he can't do interviews for GCN while working for Eurosport.

@chrispollock5953 4 года назад

Matt Stephens is a national treasure.

@Jack-cu7rl 7 лет назад

3:32 Here we see G taking a peek at the answers

@mcclausky 5 лет назад

This Germaine Thomas is not nearly as fun as Mark Cavendish. Emotionless robot.

@robertreid2241 2 месяца назад

Lost a real opportunity to call this the GCN GC G quiz - shameful to leave that on the table

@goblin8906 6 лет назад

Congratulations Geraint Thomas 2018 Tour de France champion!!!!

@dewoepe842 7 лет назад

he did also a stare off in sky vs oge, man i loved to watch those episode they should bring it back

@NeoPayneHK 6 лет назад

and he got his TDF winner finally!!!

@05kendalls 7 лет назад

Guys, this video is trending on the youtube trending page.

@ds9923 7 лет назад

There is no way that last one is rigatoni.

@RadiuI 5 лет назад

He’s just as bad at handling a toy bike than the real thing

@sambutters6585 7 лет назад

big up whoevers on the kam

@bxw640 7 лет назад

Cheeky little attempt at a kick by Gee during the TT.

@olly24c 7 лет назад

maybe you should get someone else to do these challanges

@rmhorn 6 лет назад

and tour de france champion

@cva9224 7 лет назад

#askgcn Why do you guys don't do Race Stage Reports for the Giro #GCN?

@__Mr.White__ 7 лет назад

Because Eurosport payed 42 million dollar to do it. Google "license".

@Cortes19882012 7 лет назад

Can't wait to see who's next.

@nebsu_ 7 лет назад

Hey, I am aware that this is out of context, but I saw in one of your videos that dan was wearing a white helmet with a visor on it. I think it was your deliveroo video. Just wanted to know, what's it called? And where could I possibly buy one of those?

@SuperAsdfgert 7 лет назад

duhnebs probably a kask helmet

@nebsu_ 7 лет назад

Ye, kask lifestyle! Thank you so much for you help :D I know what im getting next!

@SuperAsdfgert 7 лет назад

@lucywareasmr 7 лет назад

If anyone can help.. I am really struggling to get up and running with my bike because I just can't seem to get comfortable!! I ache in my wrists and buttocks every ride. Any advice for a more comfortable ride

@hennings40 7 лет назад

G is not a comedy man...

@Abnsdllnnlosnfd 7 лет назад

Just found out that Matthew Stephens is 47 years old! Jesus, you look like 35 and you have more hair than me (and I´m 31) LOL

@benedward8559 7 лет назад

Love this

@nickhumphrey4833 6 лет назад

should redo the quiz albeit with facts about G's TDF victory

@TunaTheMiner 7 лет назад

Nice

@simonlee-plunket5005 6 лет назад

Matt's long lost son?

@koko-lores 7 лет назад

Let's have the guy who rides against telephone poles race against the guy who falls off his bike every week and see who can hit the largest number of obstacles.

@chrisclark9116 7 лет назад

I feel like GCN handicapped themselves by making Matt the contender in the staring contest. We all know how prone to cracking he is.

@neo_geo_ 5 лет назад

I miss Matty boy

@maximilianmuller9955 7 лет назад

mooorrreee😍😍😍😍

@mirceaandreighinea 7 лет назад

Fantastic episode, great laughs! imagine all the pros you can do this with!!

@SergioCristancho 4 года назад

@daanishmundroina3987 7 лет назад

does beer have any side effect on cycling and if your aim is a pro rider

@wackery_zeimer 7 лет назад

Glad to see the pros are such great sports when it comes to stuff like this!

@DanielLavender1988 6 лет назад

Almost feels like a GCN prediction!

@MrPoldekrosmol 7 лет назад

Wait why has the team sky bus belgian plates?

@ganainm5113 7 лет назад

The team are based in the UK but their logistics base is in Deinze, Belgium.

@MrPoldekrosmol 7 лет назад

Alright didn't know that thanks

@ganainm5113 7 лет назад

No probs. :)

@peteradshead1981 7 лет назад

Also with most of the races being in Europe would make life easier with the drivers side being on the correct side for mainland European countries surely.
