    This twist on the GCN Presenter Challenge sees the boys split up into 2 teams to take on 2 challenges. Successfully assemble a bike, then ride it as fast as possible, relay-style, up the fearsome mountain of Sa Calobra on the island of Mallorca. Who can stay cool under pressure while pushing themselves to the absolute limit?

  • @liambarber9036
    @liambarber9036 Pƙed 7 lety +28

    when they tell Dan to put the pump between his legs, was the funniest thing ever on GCN. I thought this was supposed to be a family show.

  • @itschriswinter
    @itschriswinter Pƙed 7 lety +208

    Brilliant! Thank god for GCN, so much entertainment. And bringing in Carlton Kirby, possibly the greatest cycling commentator in history, was so good.

      @budesmatpicu3992 Pƙed 7 lety +11

      now GCN vs GMBN - road+mtb (with assembling, obviously). Include huge jumps on mtb so that roadies lose minutes navigating around, and have to make it up uphill (assuming they should be much better uphill).

  • @loopie007
    @loopie007 Pƙed 7 lety +1

    It's the first time I think we have ever seen the GCN camera bike. For some reason I expected more. Maybe a trike with a camera platform and more lights to warn drivers about the film stars passing through. Excellent video. Can't believe SI didn't do the bike build as he does most of the GCN tech videos.

  • @edwardcooney4101
    @edwardcooney4101 Pƙed 7 lety +22

    Dan clearly had very few opportunities to practice with the champagne!

    • @gcn
      @gcn  Pƙed 7 lety +13

      +Edward Cooney if Dan had a bottle of champagne for every time he was on the podium of a bike race, he.....well he probably would have been able to open this one.
