We’re holding our own GCN World Championships on Zwift, which uses the same format as this month’s UCI Esports World Championships. 30 presenters start, but who will be crowned the winner?

can you do a video on cycling with ankle weights? not sure if there is any real training effect but im just curious how it affects performence
100% should do a triathlon/duathlon/run
Agree, duathlon!!!
join the gcn auf deutsch guys for their triathlon
Next GCN/GMBN/GTN world cyclocross championship or xcchampionship, guive those mountainbiekrs a chance to win
Ollie not realising that he is about to be eliminated is probably one of the funniest thing that happened this year. he was looking so fresh, really holding back and saving energy hahaha
Better yet = Si calling out "you Muppet !"...haha
hahaha! 😂🤦♂️🤦♂️
Remember this year is only 35 days old, that leaves Ollie plenty of time to screw up in an even more spectacular fashion.
Damn, rider agent Dan L. will not be happy. He had almost placed him in the pro peloton.
Defo need to see the run
Tobi and Richie are the winner of our hearts, they gave everything and lost because of the internet connection 😢 #DankeOlaf 🇩🇪
❤
Excuses excuses! 😂
So Ollie finally got dropped again. We came full circle
It had to end someday...
Bruh😂
German team lost connection to the internet but gained connection to my heart ❤️
🖤♥️💛
And you are directly connected to ours 🥰
Other cyclists are beatable, but Telekom... it scares me.
Tobi and Richi won our hearts! And the rest only is some kind of storytelling
The true winners perhaps 🙌
Meanwhile on GMBN, "How to bunny hop on a trainer."
Blake classic
I'd love to see GCN team tackle a local crit/road season with proper tactics/training. Series??
Good idea! Maybe one for the future
you should do more with the german guys, winners of the hearts after their failed connection
Tobi und Richi - winner of the hearts!❤
😍
❤
the picture of Olaf Scholz on the wall made me lol
Grande Sebastián! Representando a América latina! Vamos!
great event, enjoyed it! i think it's great to keep the gcn cycling channels closer together. technicly our germans got only beaten by the german digital infrastructure. i guess thats the zwift version of a mechanical... looking forward to more gcn international challenges
You should check this out then! Our 'Cheap bike challenge' film on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/cbc
Manons face of disbelief at 11:50 when Hank said he was using his brain just couldnt be disguised. She always has the most expressive expressions
Germany lost Connection...Welcome to Europes Economical Power House with Internet Cables made out of Bratwurst
🤌🌭
You should do GTN vs. GMBN vs. GCN in course 1/3 out of road, 1/3 trails and 1/3 running+swimming. Lets see who’s the best allrounder.
Don't you think the guys who also do train running and swimming will beat the ones who really don't care about those two things? It should rather be about who's the most versatile Cyclist. Maybe do a time trial, a long climb, a cyclocross course and an Trail ride (atleast an blue trail) . That should have all aspects of on and Offroad riding involved in it. Could also add a few trackcycling rounds but I think adding that would put the balance a bit to much in favor of the roadies
Great idea, could be one for GTN! We think they would take us on the swim and run 😂
They already did a GCN vs GTN challenge where running was included. GCN didn't have a hope!
Hank and Manon make a cracking team of presenters, their personalities and humility are spectacular, but Si is showing that he can do the complex stuff brilliantly
All our presenters have bring their own strength 💪 Did you catch them going head to head in this video? 👉 czcams.com/video/xT_tpJlKkJs/video.html
We definitely need a post-ride interview with Ollie! And awesome rides by Conner, and Hank!
Hahaha we'll see what we can do... think it's still a bot of a sore subject 👀
17watts/kg! That’s incredible.
WHAT A FUN VIDEO THAT WAS! AMAZING, LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.
Just so cool to see all those channels come together for a fun and exciting race!
and Germany of course with it's amazing internet connection :))))))
Glad you liked it! For more of our presenters challenging each other, you should check out our 'Cheap bike challenge' film on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/cbc
❤
yes YES i agree. A sarcastic Ollie interview is needed! XD
Nice Championships! 🤙So sad for the german team, but in Germany we say "Sieger der Herzen".
Another amazing Video! it's always great to watch the gcn channels, but Champions of hearts are tobias knaup and Richard Weinzheimer (gcn auf deutsch).
At the end of the video. Yes I want to see Hank and Simon doing the running challenge.
Ollie’s new excuse for getting dropped 😂
😂🤦♂️🤷♂️
Well done mates! But the Germans are the world champions of hearts 🇩🇪 😘
That's the Spirit!
Only eleminated by Internet sabotage 😜
What a fun race! Love the friendly rivalry and comradery between the channels, the teamwork, and good sportsmanship!
We love getting the chance to shoot with our other channels! Would you like to see more of these group challenges? This one was lots of fun 👉czcams.com/video/PiwWgALiNzc/video.html
I follow GTN too. They are the most unbelievable athletes and people, socks or no socks!
I thought Ollie would unload a wattage bazooka on the hill course to put some fear into everyone.
Hahaha think we all did... he should of been listening during race briefing 😂
That was a lot of fun, great video!!!
It was! For another challenge between our presenters you could check out our 'Cheap bike challenge' on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/cbc
bring back the Ollie getting dropped jokes!
They were always there, they just dropped off...
that was so fun! always love these videos with multiple GCN presenters having a blast
Rich and Blake turning the trainer into a manual machine. Hahaha, really shows how different mtb guys and roadies differ.
So much fun to watch! I love the collaborative videos between channels/hosts!
You are one of my favorite GCN presenters if not my favorite.
Very honest and humble which makes you incredibly inspiring.
I’m sure you’ll better your time and will qualify next time. Cheers.
Actually really exciting to watch! Have to say ... GCN auf Deutsch had the funniest format - tip hat galore
Love these videos with multiple channels. That short track one with gcn vs gmbn was great too.
For me the Germans are the winners of the hearts ❤
🖤♥️💛
This video was quite exciting to watch!! The music on here allowed me to push my Zwift session further than I ever did before on the Tick Tock route this morning 🤭!!
Cracking video it is! Very inspirational! Dang GCN España! Chapeau!!! 🎉
Great to hear that you enjoyed it so much! Have you seen our previous Zwift races? 👉czcams.com/video/yVbhcPuhyAM/video.html
@@gcn - Yes I did! I thought I didn’t but when I went back already watched them. Quite exciting!! ☺️
It’s incredible, after being around for so many years, Zwift still looks like a video game from 2003.
Some of the more "modern" ones borderline require a gaming PC to use so there is a certain wisdom to keeping low quality graphics. Can't says its ever bothered me either.
“Out brain’d” 😂
Just wanna say you guys are pumping out good vids!
Whoop whoop 🎉 Great to hear you are enjoying them! What videos would you like us to create next? 👀
That was great! We were out of breath ourselves after the final sprint! 😄 We were both yelling at the monitor. Excellent, thanks!
So much fun watching that :)
As sb from Germany it is so funny to see German internet crash. Happens really often. Feels like internet in Germany is on of the most unstable of them all.
😢
Great race - James from GTN was pretty under the weather so a decent result from him too!
The GTN crew gave us a run for our money!!! 🥵
¡Grande, Sebas!
Super fun video! Thanks guys.
The Germans are the world champions of hearts
❤
Ya'll are awesome. And you make people healthier!
Running, yes! That should be hoot!
Super awesome job guys!!!!!
Connor, what’s with the Isle of Man flag on Zwift?
Now that's passion right there!
This was entertaining. The rivalry was great - well done everyone
Who did you think was going to take the win? 👀
Doi-さん looks way too happy as he rides!
that was fun to watch....I was pulling for GMBN .....but it was great to watch non the less....cheers 🇨🇦
GMBN certainly turned on the pain! They gave us a good race 🙌
You can use the anvil uphill. It just won’t do anything. They disabled the disadvantage a while ago
Great effort Neil 😊
Man, it was fascinating! 🎉👍
Come on Spain!!! We did it!
argentina...
@@chbrosz yeah but.. living and recording in SPAIN! GO SPAAAIN!
@@Aaalaamm ok vale. Punto valido. Enhorabuena :)
World Tour level riders are on a different level
They really are! Did you catch Hank hanging out with Ashleigh Moolman-Pasi? 👉 czcams.com/video/XPCjTCd_Exg/video.html
Hank: "Go hard, go deep, and don't leave anything out." 🤣
Looked like fun!
Super fun! Nothing like a Zwift race to bring out your competitive side 😂Have you ever tried one?
I felt so confident ollie would win.... Felt so disappointed to c him go out the way he did
Go Blake !
Go GMBN !
Although the race is unfair towards them, no off-road descents to be done :(.
Think they might take us on that one!!! 😂
Great video folks. Enjoyed seeing how the format will work for the actual championships.
I like the look of the new map, and have had a wee explore myself, which I enjoyed riding. What do you guys think of it?
We loved this new route... maybe we need to take out time around it next, take in the views a bit more 😂
Otsukaresamadeshita, GCN Japan!
Argentina again!
good race, but at 6:54 were Manon and Hank setting up for the GCN calender photo shoot? 🤣
Winners of the hearts: the Germans 🇩🇪
Se Germans and se internet... there becomes the fish in the pan crazy❤
This is awesome. Sébastien is a savage
He smashed it 👑
Ollie got dropped the universe is back to normal
It was fun while it lasted!
Sebas Haedo sprint peak: 20w/kg (1349w/67,1kg*dressed to road cycling route)
Ollie! Ollie! Ollie!
Great fun, thanks
We had a blast! Have you ever entered a Zwift race? 🚴
Connor and Hank put in a solid effort.
How do you set up two or more smart trainers next to each other in a garage or shed that avoids signals dropping out or interfering? It it possible to replicate what GCN does in the studio to avoid such tech problems and without breaking bank?
Do you know if there'll be public elimination-format events like the third event here?
"English language, ya muppet" 😂
Ouch! Hank's high fives hurt through the screen.
"The anvil makes you undraftable for 30 seconds..." and everyone hate you...
Well done, Conor
it looked epic ..
Vamos Sebas!!
How many wats ,you beast , did on that sprint?
Imagine them doing an actual race i would be a banger.
Should that be the next challenge? Where would you like to see them race? 👀
@@gcn Italy!
Just watched this vid a second time.
Awesome edit team.
Awesome video.
Hank you don't run like EMBN's Steve Jones do you. It was fun watching him run on the treadmill.
This looks like a lot of fun🇦🇺
It really was! Have you ever tried Zwift racing? 👀
Reminded me a little bit of Diego in Mexico '86. They huffed and puffed all the way to exhaustion, but in the end FIVE Englishman could not stop a SINGLE Argentinian. The Hand of God is STILL alive. And Ze Germans not always win!
OOOLE OLE OLE OLE,
HAEE EEDO!
HaHaHa you rule, man !
Ollie betting dropped jokes are back on the menu!
Ollie, Ollie, Ollie!
This is more like a bike programme!
nobody can beat Ollie. You surely made some mistake with calibration
Next up the running version!
What happened Ollie? I thought you were meant to be a pro 😂.
I never never knew bicycle racing would become stationary and electronic. I prefer riding in the real world on challenging mountain roads. Here in SOUTHERN OREGON there are some good hills that can be ridden year around.
Yay now we can comment Ollie got dropped again! ;)
Tobi Knaup did really well
Was Connor hoping to channel some Cav like sprinting by having the Isle of Man flag next to his name rather than the Irish flag?
Excellent video, shows how important it is to understand the rules, Eh Ollie :)
Rules are there to be followed... someone tell Ollie please! 😡
