- Last year, Heather took on Manon from GCN in a cycling race, which she lost - something which she has not forgotten! Earlier this year, they battled again in a duathlon, but now we want to take things back to the start for the big rematch: GTN vs GCN on the bike! Will Heather be able to get the better of Manon this time?

What other cross-channel battles would you like to see?
All of them
How about a mixed surface (road, gravel & easy single track) bike race between Anna, Manon & Heather on a course designed by James, Neill and Simon. Pretty sure that would be fairly entertaining.
To the Track!! Also a 3 person triathlon relay.
I’d like to see the rivalry taken to a velodrome.
We need Mark vs Si and James vs Hank....... Either individually or as a relay
Wonder Woman did it!! Love the.. ‘I’m not that fit’ after doing 90% of an Ironman with no fuel. Go Heather!! Manon.. rocked it too with only a 200k under her belt 😜 💪🏽.
They grossly underestimate themselves. And are a little too modest.
Correction, 96% 😁 but yes Heather should be banned from saying “I’m not that fit” 😂
tri bike positioning gives about a 4-5km /h aerodynamic advantage. They should be using the same gear.
GCN always does their best to say "expensive bikes doesn't make you faster." while GTN always wants to say "if you're rich you're fast." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the challenges with Manon and the other presenters from GCN! Good job for both of you, girls!
My friend who rode at national level told me aero tuck position alone gives 3 min advantage over 40 ITT, add in disk wheel, aero helmet and tri suit and overshoes, plus aero tri TT bike, shows less power plus aero translates to faster time of more than 1 min over 10kms.
Great fun video!
It would be interesting to see both ladies on the same bike set-up as this video, but with Manon picking a road-favourable course with climbing, descending and tight corners.
Yes Yes. Outstanding idea, make that happen.
Manon would trash Heather. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i just wanna see more of these races
@@lawrenceginete1030 Not really, their power outputs in this video were very similar and a road bike enables you to have a fraction more power output because of the position.
A really big factor is who is fit.
@@matthewbaynham6286 a pro cyclist is going to be much more aero on a road bike which is the biggest difference in performance. Add in the fact that Manon is/was a sprinter and you realize that she just needs to be able to draft to the end and will always win a sprint finish
Heather will win longer efforts, especially if they're unable to draft each other. Manon will beast any sprint finish or shorter effort
Fun video. Really enjoyed your competitive spirits. Great job!
Love a good grudge match. Well done Heather and Manon.
wow - well done both!! I'm hugely impressed how much the aero devices seem to have worked out especially considering that Manon pushed a few more watts!!
I feel as though I would need a 10 minute head start to compete with either one of those bad ass ladies
I'd take a 10 minute head start on a 20 minute course with them
Great to watch, looking forward to Ollies take on how to make Manon faster!
Ollies need to make himeself faster, did you not watch the 4 vs 1/5 vs 1 time trial bike vs road bike series? :)
Gotta get Heather an aero suit. Next video: Aero suits, how much difference do they make over 50k ride (at constant pace)?
Good ride Manon!! Always enjoy your efforts and great enthusiasm in all your videos, keep making cyclists proud around the world.
Fantastic race between 2 very competitive athletes and best friends. Heather is looking lean. Looking forward to seeing more great races and challenges 😃
awesome race. enjoyed. would like to see u 2 in same type of bike. 👍🙏
AYYY Congrats Heather! Cool seeing how much difference of aero when power is pretty similar. I've always been impressed at the avg. speeds Tri reaches compared to TT specific racing considering with Tri there's a race beforehand and after still.
I'd be intrigued for a collab vid of GTN-GCN crew going through the differences in disciplines lets say 2hrs Tri-Road-TT.
So roughly 30min Swim, 2hr Ride, 90min Run Triathlon Vs 2hr Time Trial Vs 2hr Road stage with 1,000m of up at the end, and what that means in changes for trainings, fuelling, ideal target zones... and so on.
Got to do what you got to do. bravo to both Manon and Heather. Money on aero is wasted unless you have the fitness to support. I would love the whole set up of Heathers bike, including the bike for my next race but I got to stay with what I can afford and have fun at all times. Loved the video.
12:40 looks like you have a new channel subscriber just behind manon 🤣🤣
See what happens Triathlete wears socks.
It must be noted, Heather, that you are MUCH fitter than the last time. Keep up the awesome content.
These 2 work together really well.
Great race Heather & Manon.
What will Dr Bridgewood say? But more importantly Sachin's tweaks would be good to hear too!!
Great sportswomanship between the two!!! Amazing,. 👍🏻😎💯💥👌🏻❤️
I missed the junkyard dog! Great Vid ;)
After accidentally starting this weeks Zwift TTT on a road bike, I can attest that this result was a rather inevitable. #knifegunfight - Andy
Impressive efforts, and equally impressive to see what a difference the aerodynamics make!
As to fitness, it is clearly a relative thing... I'm as fit as I've ever been, and Manon still beat my pb over 10k by a good minute 😃 I'll clearly have to start commuting to my gymnastics sessions on a TT bike wearing a skin suite to compensate...
As much as I love watching Mark’s challenges, it is high time James flexed his cycling muscles against Cycling’s Si in some wacky challenge.
@13:01 "thank you for coming out and letting me thoroughly kick your arse" 😅
Swop bikes and do the time trial again :)
That was a really great matchup! No the fact that GTN won (which I enjoyed, I'm not gonna lie 😁) but the effort of both of you put into it. Congrats to both! 💪😎
Manon in a triathlon next?
+1
I now have something in common with Manon and know how she feels, having seen Heather blast past me at Blenheim when she did the Weekend Warrior.
Well done Heather!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video. Can we recreate the exact same thing again but give Manon some clip-on TT bars? 🤞
This makes me wonder why I do my weekend rides on my road bike instead of my triathlon bike.
I put clip-on TT bars on my road bike and was surprised about the benefits. I don't use them as a radical change from my general riding position but use them more as an addition, e.g. when pushing myself, saving energy in a more aerodynamic position, be able to ride harder ⚙️ gears etc.
i like the friendly races, but a little disappointed that this really was not a heads up race.
Like a modern day re-enactment of when Lemond beat Fignon.
'Maybe another time' (about switching bikes), YES PLEASE!!!
I watched a film on Netflix the other day called ‘Onboard The Transcontinental Race’ and was gob smacked by the dedication of the riders, no medals or honours just the thrill of doing the race. I’d love to see someone from GCN preferably Manon do it! 😎🚴♂️😎🚴♂️
Doesn’t seem to be on Netflix, at least not in the US :/
This should be a 6 monthly event !!
I'm not sure Heather could've stacked the deck better in her favour. It would be good to see TT road rig vs Tri-bike rig, roadie vs triathlete.
Get Simon versus Mark
At 9:17 Heather just behind her. When I did a triathlon relay last week in Niagara Falls, I used my road bike and I will be remember the disk wheel’s sound! Great and what an interesting match up! Heather and Manon are great cyclists! Thank you GCN..
I think Manon's problem was pacing. 300W on the early section with an overall average of 217W? No one Heather came past super easy.
It's a pretty silly test, yes we know aero bikes are far quicker on a flat course as drag is the biggest form of resistance. Give Manon the same kit/bike and see what happens, in theory she has less experience on a tt bike.
Awesome win Heather love the video
I love both and customer of them both in on-line shopping.
Manon rocks always enjoy her vids, and watched Heather for first time attempt her Triathlon on zero food and really impressed , these ladies hard-core 💪
Put Mannon in a skin suit, areo helmet and a time trial bike and find out what happens.
great stuffs girls
would have like to have the W/KG to get a real sense of how much the aero adaptations helped
if it's a flatish course, W/KG has nearly no relevance. Only outright wattage output matters. The aero positioning would have accounted for almost the entire variance ~ about 4-5km/ h in aero bar position vs road bike
Love these cross channel events, however equipment makes a big difference, next time kit manon out in full TT kit
I like to think that the UK has great roads like this everywhere with lamas in everyone's backyard
Right!
I have that shirt now 🥳🥳🥳! I will tap into my inner Heather to be fast 😃.
I love it when cyclists challenge each other to cycle more, what a great world to live in where we can share our passion to ride.
I love this one Heather!!!!
ah the time tested tradition of starting every group ride with excuses and explanations of why each of us are "not very fit at the moment"
@1:13 new tactic from Heather... don't tell Manon the route 😅
if Manon goes bend ellbows, she can save 5 watts i believe
Gravel challenge next?
honest question, why should I buy a road bike, when I can ride a tt bike and be faster and more comfortable ?
My two favorite Lady's on CZcams 😃
Watts are nice, but watts per kilogram would be more accurate. Maybe show that next time.
are they on 650b wheels?
What is the weight difference? That would tell us more about watts per kilo rather than just watts.
I don't care what you all do! It's freaking awesome! Throw Manon in the water!
Do the swim next!
Heather is awesome. Manon is cool. Bish bash bosh.
I'd like to see a three way tussle between Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard. That'd bring the crowds back
Very Interesting 🤔
#Challenge. Climbing on a single speed. Not necessarily fixed gear but LIFE IN ONE GEAR!
Way to go Heather!!
Bit unfair on the choices of equipment. Not apples for apples
Seemed a bit of a mismatch really, clearly aero was going to take it...
But didn’t happen in first one😌. This time yes because of heather used all the advantages she can..
@@lionden4 she also put a lot of power. 209 watts in a TT position requires more effort than 217 on a road bike.
@@igoryan1111 strong cyclists!.
Here comes the time trial vs tri bike
Manon needs to pick a hill climb to try to minimize the aero gains.
A road bike vs a triathlon (TT) bike is a bit of a cheat for GTN.
Superbike without Superbike Price tag!!
Now 217W vs 209W, last time: 260W vs 225W ( czcams.com/video/er2fcvGijFo/video.html )
Get Heather on the Track. Pusuit challenge
fun but not fair
The canyon bike is angelic
Heather you're looking super fit!
Love these Challenges. Great content👍
But why do you (all included) always downplay your fitness?? You always talk about how you haven’t trained, your not fit etc. etc.
You all have fitness most of us normal humans can only Dream of.
great video and all but... 19 minutes for 10k seems a bit slow for such fit women. Also, 10k in 19 minutes doesn't quite equate to 36kmph, or does it?
Surprised to see Manon using Ultegra mechanical 😬 Go mechanical 👍🏼
How many to beat the tri bike?
Heather rode well, but there was a massive equipment difference
Racing is racing. Question is distance. And bike capabilities.
Halhal man kaau
Heather needs to get a bike fit! Could get wayy more aero 🤙
Did anyone else get distracted by the sheep and alpaca behind the girls during their recap
How about a neutral event like Tough Mudders 😃
Manon just have not recovered from the long ass gravel race.
I'm three minutes in and both parties are saying that they've done no training, their not as fit as they used to be... I mean it's what 'everybody' says on race day. If you win great, you're way better than your peers. If you lose, well you've been doing nowt.
Make it long 100miles and no food since the night before, manon would get thrashed.
Track sprint next…
Its all about the gear.. Again! Yeah right! Often watching these clips is more like watching commercials. Sad! How were they able to speak during the race?
Are you guys sponsored by Canyon or are they the best rides??? Or why do y'all ride them most of the time??
thought she was pogacar for a sec lol
I just realized... I hold the lower bars like manon.
I think Manon got stitched up there!
For 10K, you can survive even without a water bottle!
