What's the coolest piece of tech you've seen at this year's Tour de France? Let us know in the comments below!
In the upgrade poll segment, the chain tensioner is a real bummer – the person bragged about a flip-flop hub, but it can't be used on the fixed side.
is a woop watch kinda like a WAP?
I just wanne say I still think that the gmbn bell is better.
English lesson for Ollie: Don't misuse the reflexive pronoun "myself" – it's "Manon and I" as a subject and "Manon and me" as an object. Didn't they teach grammar at your school? Oh, and why so many intrusive ads – it makes the show a really hard to watch.
73% are stupid to say tech doesn’t matter. Nowadays I am yet to see someone using steel bike, not using computer, and aluminum wheels in pro racing.
In the 80's When I first started following road racing most of the. bikes had the same tube sets and tube diameter despite the the frame builder. Components may have differed from team to team but it's the closest to all the teams riding the same bike.
My God take her away..
She is so boring…
Every thing she does is boring
Love this ep❤️
120k watch??? total poser, what a waste of money. he should seel it to another poser and donate the money for some usefull ONG. Not nice philipe, not nice at all.
Will we ever see integrated into seat post , brake lights? My save accidents. D
Manon perfects the GCN tech eyeroll.
Every time I hear Oliver speaks I am waiting for him to ask if you have tried turning off your computer!!! IT Crowd
WHAT BALLOX AERO IS FASTER ON CLIMBS !! LIGHTER IS ALWAYS BETTER RIGHT MR 5KG CLIMBING BIKE OLLIE !! AND ALL BLACK BIKES SUCK AND ARE BORING TO LOOK AT !!
I always preferred an Aero to a Mars Bar.
You mention Roglic riding in the organiser’s suit.. where do you think Pogacar was riding jn, wearing the white jersey?
Tubeless will never feel as good as a good tubular. Nor will they be as light
You didn't understand your own question on the TDF poll.
Lets be honest we all love cycling videos this is just what I need to get it going the blood I love it. I always watch these before I go out and get my body moving. I love when I always watch one of these, and then put up my heavy playlist I love like Delta Parole and then I just go haaaaard!!!! Tactic hasnt let me down yet.
Manon is so beautifull
ProTour riders are using latex tubes cause they get really unpopular if they spray sealant all over the peloton.
I love Bianchi brand
Ollie is it scuffed up yet ? I will buy it !
"the most optimized setup, vs the least optimized setup"
:seems like a good way to sum up both ends of the spectrum; 20w doesn't sound like much.
lustfully she says… ‘do you like tubeless…?” (insinuation….going raw)
ofc bike tech makes a difference the top ten finishers would be re-arranged some and there may even be 1 or 2 guys in and or out of the top ten
Dang! Manon and Ollie are getting harsh on these bike vault submissions! In the case of the bike on the yellow lines in the road, that rider was enjoying their roll and stopped for a pic in the moment! That has to have its own value, right?
Manon is thinner here.
