Who should we interview next? 🎙
Wout won aert
Volt Van Art
Tadej Pogačar seems a really fun guy to interview.
Whoever wore the maglia nera in the recent Giro. Would love to know the rider's thoughts and feelings. We've had tons of interviews with winners but none really from the ones who finished last.
Edit: Just did a quick search and realized it's no longer a thing. Still would love to watch an interview with someone who finished last. I think it would be interesting
KUSS
From my investigation, Alex finished 71st in stage 4 of the Tour de Yorkshire in 2018 while Tom came in at 90th. Does it count as a win? No. Did Alex beat Tom in a race? Yes, he did! 💪
Hahahah yes Alex is going to take that one as a win! 😂
cilian kelly fearing for his job right now :D
😂 I love the loooong pause before Pidcock decides he’s the best descender.
i don't..i wish he'd express his thoughts out loud, made me so curious
This is the best part
The best descender is the person on the bike behind keeping up with him while filming
#CaptionCompetition: Sepp told the team he needs a loyal friend, the team told him to get a dog.
Ohhhhhh daaang dramaaaa
Yeah man, they need to work for Sepp. Without him they don't win the other grand tours and what better show of team dominance than to have 3 different riders win grand tours in a season, plus Wout getting Tour of Britain. If they don't work for Sepp I'd be highly disappointed. Who knows if he'll get that chance again, he earned it.
Thank you for choosing the Bisikleta Club video clip for the GCN show intro for this week!
Bisikleta represent!!!
@@ZacBlanco Bisikleta boys miss you, brother. I hope you can visit San Diego soon.
PH represent!
And fair play to them too for being prepared to post their blooper reel. 😂❤
That long delay from Tom on the best descender question. That was gold.
That modesty 😂 When you know, you know
Tom pidcock is like sleeper class car who kicked when you expect nothing😂😂😂
OMG Connor and his brother-in-law's broken toilet, I just about s*** myself laughing so hard😂😂😂😂
I've never seen anybody draw the derailleur on a bike before. Nice touch, Alex!
You can tell he's the tech guy ⚙
@@gcn That was exactly my first thought!
Beautiful video! Thanks for Pidcock's interview
#captioncompetition : Bimba the dog providing Sepp with Primo Dog licks
Looked like he was trying to give honest answers. Hes the real deal. My favorite rider. I just hope the pros dont change him too much
Pidcock is a pro 🙌 Was great to get some time with Tom 🙌
He's a gem.
#Captioncompetition; Sepp tries the new version of the Dogma.
Tom needs to pop over to Sheffield this coming Saturday and race MTB DH at Steel City. From what I've heard of his training at Caersws he'd do well!
Caption competition: Sepp Kuss introduces his new team mate Primoz Doglic
#CaptionCompetition: great to see Sep Kuss FINALLY get a lead out
Raced the N Florida series back in the early 90’s……still racing over here in 🇬🇧 these days! Love seeing the old tracks back in Florida! 👍
I reckon that was the best GCN shows I've ever seen. Best 2 GCN presenters 👍
Caption completion -
Off-camera Farmer “stop that grass-fed puppy!”
Sep Kuss “I’m a little out of my comfort zone here.”
Off-camera Farmer “Well done”

@GCN
If GCN can persuaded Hank to do the Tour Divide. I think he may struggle slightly with the new record time.
Hahahaha yep... that might be a little bit too tough for us 👀 Hats off to Mr Morton 😬
C’mon. Even with the support crew he wouldn’t have a chance on Hall’s record.
#CaptionCompetition: My best friend taught me a thing or two about loyalty Worlds best domestique come leader of the pack
#CaptionCompetition Even when he is just poodling along, Sepp Kuss is a top dog...
We had a herd if cows (and one goat) follow us out from an open gate we passed in the Burren once. Decided to drive them back. Yes get big and spread arms wide - a long stick never hurts. Worked a treat. Except the goat - she looked at us like we were idiots.
Hahaha goats are more wise than we'll ever know! Maybe cycle herding could be a new sport 👀
Has there ever been a pro who's genuinely a fan of gcn and just trolled the interviewer? "Favourite GCN presenter?" "Matt Stevens"
I was thinking exactly the same thing while watching - Matt Stephens or Tom Last 😆
#captioncompetition Bimba the Toy Poodle is very loyal, sadly the same cannot be said for Great Danes or Slovenian Karst sheepdogs.
Thanks for the HACK guys, the cushioning is on the end of the knee pad part. Has got me back on and recovering well.
…Made you both feel a right t!t too 😂😂😂
So that on the app and gave it a hack! As someone who joined the collar bone club and sat staring at my trainer for months.. I wish I’d of thought up a way 😭 I just did short 1 handed rides with the sling on. Hope your recovery goes well! You definitely have tons of spirit to get back out there far more than most so you’ll probably come back kicking ass in no time!!
These interviews might be a cool series. Specially the contest how to draw a bike. Having entire series with signatures as photos(?), or postcards, or something alike?
Thank you guys for reading my comment, Im a long time fan. That aside, dont let my mistake discourage anyone from doing the Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder, because its five days of amazing and should be a bucket-list experience for everyone. I sincerely hope GCN sends a rider to take it on. Just bring a jacket.
#CaptionCompetition: The cycling world calms down after a photo is released explaining the "Sepp Kuss Loses Lead" headline.
6:36 that cheeky look 😂😅
Great chemistry between Si and Conner 😊
Always a fun day filming with these two! 🎬
Hang on this thing about having a beer mid-ride, surely this needs some GCN testing, I wonder who Dan can assign to the task.
Probably the only way to get Dan on a bike
We'll make a cyclists out of him again 🍻
Thanks for having Tom on, he's my favourite rider. I bet Luke Rowe would have some stories.
Hahahah Luke Rowe is always full of stories 🙌 What's your favourite Pidcock moment?
the toilet story made me lol for real. cheers
#captioncompetition: Sepp Kuss and his dogged determination!
#captioncompetion Sepp Kuss trying to rival Vingegaard as the obvious Bond Villain. “I’ve been expecting you.”
I love how at 14:10 Si laughs at his own shit joke (pun intended) 😂
Moooving on. Yesssss🎉🎉🎉
Caption contest: Sepp Kuss, "they said this was turning into a real dog and pony show, so I brought my dog."
29:00 #captioncompetition - Unlike Mathieu van der Poel, Sepp Kuss drops his poodle off BEFORE the race!
Tom Pidcock, greatest all round cyclist right now? He is amsolutely amazing and could easily be, but maybe it’s Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. 2022, Gravel, and XCC, and XCO, and MTB Marathon Rainbow Jersey all in one year, plus XCC and XCO world champ again in 2023. Plus, she has been world champion in Road and Cyclocross before. Okay Tom, has the Olympic gold which she’s missing so far, but watch out for Paris 2024. Either way though, Ineos Grenadiers have nailed it.
Cool intro.😁😎…Cheers!🍻
"Does he do a lot of plunging?" 😂😂
Funny intro. Thought I clicked on the wrong channel.😆
Love how equally proud Conor is and dismayed that Si is at the same time #plunge
Connor should have the Coastguard's phone number on the back on his toilet door. That sounds like a danger to shipping.
#CaptionCompetition: “Sepp certainly loves his Cava - poo”
Dog says to owner, 'C'mon Sepp it's time you took the lead.'
#captioncompetition With Sepp Kuss Jumbo Visma has got the new top dog of the Vuelta in the team
We can hear Dan cheering all the way here in Canada.
Hahaha sorry about that 😂
#captioncompetition: Primoz and Jonas are still hopeful of another GC victory as rumours spread that Sepp Kuss may have unkowingly breached the UCI's new ruling on the puppy paws position
Dang, the T-Shirts are cool.
Great show! By the way, Hank is not a spaniel. Hank is a Jack Russel Terrier!
You should have asked Dan Lloyd about beer rehydration!!!
You've got to work yourself in to dehydration first 👀
29:00 #captioncompetition - As Sepp Kuss gets another round of ap-paws from his fans, the pup-arazzi go wild for his new loyal teammate, Bimba!
#CaptionCompetition With Sepp Kuss having control of La Vuelta, the only way he can lose now is if he stops to cava-poo
#CaptionCompetition: Jonas “so that’s why you wanted to keep the lead of La Vuelta”
Tarling and Evanopoel were born in different time zones too. Too hard for my brain, but someone needs to factor that in as well. And of course, that needs to be calculated relative to the time zone their respective wins were achieved in!
About the cattle video, please talk with Temple Grandin about this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Grandin Thanks. And I love "giant grass puppies." Really get her on your show. Thanks again. Love the show.
#captioncompetition Kuss’s ultimate plan is to keep Rog and Vin on a short leash for the rest of the Vuelta
#CaptionCompetition. "When the dog surprises itself by catching the bike."
29:00 #captioncompetition - After the race, Sepp tells the press: “stop hounding me about Primas and Jonas, you’re barking up the wrong tree!”
Oh what a great show - I will publicise the beer/hydration strategy to the poor guy I advised that no-alcohol beers were the way to go for rehydration in hot climates (when he started fainting after long runs in hot humid conditions, followed by alcoholic beer). And Conor used the word 'shonky' which my colleagues (Cumbrians) don't recognise as a real (i.e. suitable for Scrabble scoring) despite it being, as far as I'm concerned, a good Yorkshire word. Glad to see it's known and used more widely - and the colleagues are wrong!
#captioncompetition "Goodbye Wolf Pack, hello Puppy Gang."
Lizzie Deignan has gone one better than my hack this week and is just out cycling one handed with her cast on 😎
Si. To be honest I've never had any issue with Giant Grass Puppies. Even when I'm 1 metre from them. I just call then silly cows. Just like when I tell wasps to buzz off as they are trying to help me eat my full English breakfast with black pudding.
And it's not just Si has a problem with cows. Driving home over Corney Fell (English Lake District, single-track road with passing places) a few weeks ago I found a car stopped in the road, engine off. The driver and passenger were in the car with the windows closed despite it being a gorgeous day. What had stopped them was a few cows (actually young bullocks) stood in the road. These are put up on the fell to graze in summer, but unlike the sheep which mostly stay out of the way and off the road, they tend not to bother about the cars and stand their ground to honking horns. But all you have to do is get out of your car and go up and shout at them, even give them a slap on the rump and they'll amble amiably out of the way. I don't know how long this couple would have sat there waiting if I hadn't taken matters in hand.
Need to get myself a Californian cycling silk shirt
#CaptionCompetition “I think I’ll name him Dogma, slow uphills” 🤙
Caption contest: Sepp Kuss checks out the new Dogma bike mascot.
Not sure what's more ridiculous: Si's cow paranoia or Coner's confusion that cows are mountain lions. From my days of riding my new fangled mountain bike through my family's cattle ranch (1980s), not to mention just working in a herd of hundreds of cows, some quite unbowed; one needn't fear grass puppies as a general rule, and running from them is both unnecessary and highly unlikely to incite them to chase after you. If they were the violent buggers you city boys seem to think they are, the Union Jack cyclist in the video would have been mush under their churning hooves. Maybe you're thinking water buffalos or hippos? Still, love both the paranoia and confusion, makes for fun videos.
That was the only use for a GripShift!
#CaptionCompetition: While Sepp Kuss was amused by Conor's pun, his dog said it was 'ruff'.
#captioncompetition Jumbo Visma didn't mean that when they said they wanted Sepp Kuss to 'take the lead'!!!
#Captioncompetition
At the end of the Vuelta, Sepp Kuss' nearest rival was dog tired!
Caption comp. Kuss wishes that just like his furry friend he could keep his team mates on a leash!
Caption Competition: It has not been a ruff SEPPtember.
Tom Pidcock sounds and looks like Jamie Tartt in Apple TV's Lasso show!! 🙂
Caption Contest: (written after stage 16 Jonas attack) "C'mon Jumbo! Throw my dad a bone here!"
Riding on a turbo trainer with a splinted broken arm is not so risky. But I injured myself again when I got off. The rotation of the forearm damaged one of the two titanium plates. 2 months after the first operation. A second operation was necessary. Sometimes it takes a little longer to heal 😖
The forearm broke after hitting an A-pillar of an oncoming car. The police estimated the impact speed at 50km/h. I had driven past 2 parked cars on a narrow road and the oncoming driver was blinded by the sun. He drove about 40. Thanks to Helm I can write something here. The first surgery was an hour after the accident. I stayed in the hospital in Germany for another 2 weeks. Take good care of yourselves.😉
Mike Hall’s record stands. Lochy had support.
Is Conor related to Harry Dunne, who had a similar bathroom “incident,” from the movie Dumber and Dumber?
#CaptionCompetition Say hello to Shep Kuss!!
Caption: Sepp Kus seen holding the latest Pinarello Dog-ma.
“It’s been a ruff week, but things are looking pup”
#captioncontest: it’s gonna be a woof week for anyone planning to beat Sepp…
At 30:00 Connor and Si strike a similar pose. Connor looks like someone copy and pasted Si, but 1.5x’d him.
#Captioncompetition.
“Sepp Kuss gets all his dogs in line.”
Re: Lauchlan Morton's ride, surely the fastest known time is irrespective of support, weather, equipment or anything? If anyone did a ride faster than anyone else is known to have done it then that makes it the fastest known time
FKT's are self supported. You can't have any visitation or outside support that wouldn't be available to any random rider on the course. He also didn't do the entire course due to wildfires.
@@cjohnson3836 are there different classifications of FKT's then? Self supported, supported, team, group, individual etc.
@@Alvio64 No. Its effectively a giant ITT. Also I think you might have the wrong impression. Its not a real race in the sense of a managed event. There's no regulating body. Its more like a few people deciding some rules and then doing it. No one is enforcing rules except your gps logs. There's no prize money, just bragging rights.
#captioncompetition Sepp Kuss grabs his canine companion as he gets a bit too close to brother-in-law Nigel's toilet
Conor, that's savage. Poor Nigel.
I love the intro for this 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🙌🙌🙌🙌
🐮- Giant Grass Puppie🤣 It has white, it has black, it has long legs... always claim it's a stork! Just has some issues with flying.
#Captioncompetition Sepp Kuss playing Top dog in the jumbo sqaud
#Caption: "How much is that cute puppy in the window?" "$250.00" "I'll take it!"
#CaptionCompetition: The age of lightweight is truly over; Sepp Kuss actively adding hounds and ounces.
Did you take into account what time of day they each finished their respective races? as they continue to age throughout the day.
Mooooooving on
There's no way Simon would have been able to stop those stampeding cows.
