#captioncontest that moment when you find out you were adopted and you’ve just been reunited with your long lost father “Manon, I am your father” (in Darth Vaders voice)
Oh man. I loved the impressions from back in the day! (2014, wow) Thomas Voeckler ftw!! I had to track down that vid for some old laughs. We need more impressions!!!
Hank Ideas: 1. Hank undercover. Join some local club rides without giving himself away. Can Hank, not be "Hank"? 2. Tri Hank. Hank does a sprint length Tri. Why anyone would do this I don't know...but hey, its for James's maturation. 3. Pro v. Pro. Hank rides with pros from other sports who also love cycling and challenges them to various cycling related events. 4. Fund raising Hank. How much money can Hank raise for a charity of his choice. 5. Renaissance Hank. Can Hank become better than average at another sport? 6. Ultra Hank. Hank competes in an ultra distance cycling event. 7. Vertical Hank. How much can Hank improve his climbing capabilities if training specifically for it.
18:50 Hey lads! 👋 Something was not working on the GCN group workout on ZWIFT (Apr 21st 8 PM Italy time); It's a pity, this was the last chance I had to join the event and the competition 😥 PS - the whole group of participants in the Zwift chat was complaining that it felt like a group ride with a "band" but no workout HUD or functionalities.
I'd love to see Hank ride the *Leadville 100* in the Colorado mountains in August. Or just ride the route if he can't make it there for the race. He seems to have the skill and stamina, it might be fun to watch.
I tried the stick hack when my rear derailleur cable broke. It wouldn't stay in place and I had to grind my way nearly 30km home up some pretty steep climbs. Perhaps, like live race coverage, this works worldwide except New Zealand?
Caption competition: The faces of the entire worlds cyclingfans when we realised, that the top 4 favorites in Paris-Roubaix had been dropped with almost 2 minutes in the wind!
Crazy what Smartphones do to people. When everything is in focus at the same time. People are getting used to that. Just look at the detail of whats in focus. I love the seperation and the quality of a real Camera.
Dan: anything that involves (Hank) taking his top off, he really likes GCN viewers: **cough** Epic Rides ep 1, Gran Canaria **cough** Note: Viewer discretion advised.
So Hank wants a challenge, what about picking the biggest mountain stage in a grand tour and doing it on a fixed gear bike, not just the last climb but the entire stage.
Whippets are when you crack a nitrous charge in a balloon and huff it. Or inhale the nitrous from a whipped cream canister. Hold your breath for best results si...🤘
Its these modern cameras that manipulate the focus for the depth of field. Sports events like the masters and NFL use them too and its just a bit off in my view.
now that we have cycling fans, how about a New GCN segment: cycling fan of the week! Love the guy during the Soren Kragh Andersen interview at La Flèche Mallonne
Wrong appliance Si. Not sure your cassette or crankset would appreciate the 1000rpm spin cycle. Dishwasher however..! The idea of Muc-off instead of rinse aid is a whole new concept. Wonder if it'll get the tea stain off the mugs too?! 🤔
Caption competition: The word on the GCN-set was, that Manon and Dan will read ANYTHING from the telepromter! Somebody wrote "say ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
The „upgrade from the god of cycling“ thing got me thinking. If a normal bike race with all its tactics is a game of chess, what is the cobble part of Roubaix? I guess something like Mario Kart.
@Si Whippets are either dogs or a slang term for Nitrous Oxide, an anesthetic gas that can be used to get high. N2O is easily obtained from whipped cream aerosol containers, hence the name.
Whippet or “whip-it” is like a Kleenex of nitrous oxide chargers. Those kids sucking down balloons? Whipits. Making whipped cream in a dispenser? Whipits.
On the case of Tubeless on cobbles. The cobble has raised sides and pinches the side wall side ways and inward, thusly unseating the seal.if you squeeze a tubeless tire at the side while test ting the pressure this will unseat the seal and let out air. Good for pinch flats but not for side-wall squeezes.
I don't know about a washing machine for cassette and chain, but what about an old dishwasher? You could fill the top rack with cassettes and have a shiny stable of bikes.
Challenge for Hank (and others): how fast can you guys do a bike change/wheel change just like the pro teams? Break up into several teams? Various GCN international presenters?
What is the easiest way to find the current Hack/Bodge entries? I no longer see a Hack/Bodge tab in the app. Are they just randomly in the Community section?
Whippet or whip-it™ canisters are used to make restaurant quality whipped cream. They also contain N2O or CO2 and can be inhaled to kill some brain cells. Also, a great song by Devo.
Hank likes long distance. So Lands End to John O'Groats. On a penny farthing. He tried hour records indoor and outdoor. Failed on both so chance to redeem his self.
Well, not sure what bookies you checked guys, but odds for van Baarle winning were shorter than 34/1. I got paid 22/1 for his win. Anyway, to me it was not a surprise win, he was knocking to get a big one!
Do you think you could be better than you think you are at cycling?
I'll be grateful if I can eventually meet my rather... high... expectations... just need to stay... like... focused... or whatever
If there’s anything that my father ever taught me, it’s that I’m never good enough.
#challengehank how about bicycle jousting with the mentioned flagpole?? He’d be up for that!
#captioncontest that moment when you find out you were adopted and you’ve just been reunited with your long lost father “Manon, I am your father” (in Darth Vaders voice)
Always getting better that is the goal of life.... remaining stagnant develops rust.
This week in the world of cycling, the Cameraman learns about depth of field.
Hank Challenge: go to Norway and see how many km of tunnels he can ride through on one ride
Next Hank challenge should be tackling the rickshaw hour record! It’s only 17.73 km according to a recent GCN app post. I think Hank can crush it!
Oh man. I loved the impressions from back in the day! (2014, wow) Thomas Voeckler ftw!! I had to track down that vid for some old laughs. We need more impressions!!!

On GTN some time ago there was talk about "Iron-Hank".
Also still eager to see Dan run a half marathon.
Also, last year, van Baarle aledgedly finished dead last and past the time cut off...
..next years winner is Bas Tietema, write it down.
👀👀
Caption Competition: Manon and Dan’s reaction when Si finally manages his third press up in a row.
That f stop looks amazing.
I feel like a dishwasher vs washing machine challenge to see which is better for cleaning bike parts is the only solution to this matter.
Hank challenge... Wash Hank in both units which gets him cleaner

Sounds awesome
*on a recumbent
@@tabishop3 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@tabishop3 Even I don't want to see that poor man tortured like that. I may be a psychopath, but I'm not a complete ogre.
That would be awesome

You should have asked your president for a more ridgid stick
31:24 sorry Dan but your reaction to Si’s comment had me in stitches. 😂😂
Caption competition: The faces of the entire worlds cyclingfans when we realised, that the top 4 favorites in Paris-Roubaix had been dropped with almost 2 minutes in the wind!
Caption Competition: When you realise that ‘only dallied’ is an anagram of Daniel Lloyd and some parts of his career start to make sense...
Like when he performed that burlesque show dressed as an evil babysitter named "Dolly Denial"?
Ooooooo... New fancy optics eh!
#Captioncompetition : Manon and Dan test their singing skills as they rehearse their harmonies for the upcoming “GCN Show: The Musical”
Ha ha lol, a dedicated washing machine, Dan's face cracked me up lol. Excellent!
I like the separation in field depth with the camera work but I can't see the brick clearly in the background!
Is it just me who puts my phone down and listens to the gcn show like a podcast?
Why does no one appreciate the art of depth of field. Nice experiment gents.
New setup is awesome!
Yet it still loses the cosiness of old setup. Now it looks too "pro" and like a big TV show
Crazy what Smartphones do to people. When everything is in focus at the same time. People are getting used to that. Just look at the detail of whats in focus. I love the seperation and the quality of a real Camera.
DIsagree. I liked looking at the stuff in the background. This is nauseating.
I like it, but I do like knowing the specifics of what's in the background.
Whippets are a delicious French Canadian confectionary! Cake spread with jam, marshmallow and then the whole thing covered in chocolate 🤩
9:15 there was me expecting 'Belgium' once again, but hey , I'm on the lucky side this time around
Dan: anything that involves (Hank) taking his top off, he really likes
GCN viewers: **cough** Epic Rides ep 1, Gran Canaria **cough**
Note: Viewer discretion advised.
So Hank wants a challenge, what about picking the biggest mountain stage in a grand tour and doing it on a fixed gear bike, not just the last climb but the entire stage.
2015 Vuelta a España Stage 11 should be the stage then. 138 km and 5421 meters of elevation through Andorra with 5 major mountain passes
I just realized I’ve spent nearly an 8th of my life watching the GCN show! I don’t know how to feel about that! Thanks…..I guess?😂🍺
Thanks for joining us
@GCN - did you move the desk up? The focus is different.
Caption: All of GCN in complete shock and awe as Dan Lloyd wins the caption competition.
I can't help but laugh every time I see Conor on that ridiculous oversized bike! I have to pause the video until it passes so I don't miss anything.
And wearing his short shorts!!!!
I love el alto, it's such an awesome bike I'm jealous
When we saw it for the first time, it looked even bigger in person! It's awesome!
Dan and Si in the foreground make this look like the GCN View-Master edition. :)
Whippets are when you crack a nitrous charge in a balloon and huff it. Or inhale the nitrous from a whipped cream canister. Hold your breath for best results si...🤘
#caption competition "Ollie drops the whole GCN crew! Manon and Dan in shock!
I think GCN should have gotten Industrial Light and Magic to do their green screen. Or is it. "Honey I Shrunk the Presenters"?
Its these modern cameras that manipulate the focus for the depth of field. Sports events like the masters and NFL use them too and its just a bit off in my view.
Caption: Dan and Manon react to the news that Hank has finally been broken
Caption Contest: Manon and Dan see Conor shirtless-something the sun itself has never seen.

The "Mountain of Hell" bike race definitely sounds like a Hank challenge to me. Look it up, the crashes are spectacular
Hank Challenge: The Broadmoor Cycle to the Summit (aka Pikes Peak Hill Climb). Aug 13, 2022. They do have a tandem class Ollie.
Caption Competition - Manon and Dan witness Hank having a wardrobe malfunction whilst perfecting his squats.
Caption: Dan and Manon react to the news that Si’s ankles have returned to normal size
a slight twist on the rubber band wheel hack, I use a length of inner tube with two holes either end cut with a hole punch. Works a treat.
Nice work!
30:13 - Caption Competition : When Manon and Daniel find out that cycling specific aerobic fitness is about 50% heritable
#captioncontest: the look when Ollie dropped Contador
Bas Tietema certainly will take note of van Baarles performace increase!
#Captioncompetition: Neither Dan nor Manon wore pants on "Bring your dog to work" day.
Easy on the Bokeh there Tony and Chelsea.
Washing machine for the entire bike takes the powerwasher torture to the next level! LOL
The „upgrade from the god of cycling“ thing got me thinking. If a normal bike race with all its tactics is a game of chess, what is the cobble part of Roubaix? I guess something like Mario Kart.
Am I alone in thinking Dan and Manon's reaction to the cleat hack should be another moment for the time capsule...
@Si Whippets are either dogs or a slang term for Nitrous Oxide, an anesthetic gas that can be used to get high.
N2O is easily obtained from whipped cream aerosol containers, hence the name.
Great episode, wish I had a beer to share trough the screen.
Whippets and several spelling variations is aerosol whipped cream containers (nitrous oxide) used as a recreational inhalant
Caption: Mannon and Dan like two birds in a nest - one want to eat and the other to drink.
The difference between a Rich person and a Poor person is how they use their time. Your Future is created by what you do Today not your Tomorrow.
Caption competition: Dan and Manon's reaction to being shown Hanks scar from the Penny Farthing!
Hmmm not sure whether I love or hate the new blurred background.
Whippet or “whip-it” is like a Kleenex of nitrous oxide chargers. Those kids sucking down balloons? Whipits. Making whipped cream in a dispenser? Whipits.
Loving the wider aperture on the camera…. Much better separation from the background 👍👍
for me it's way worst
I find it so bad that I actually wonder if they are just in front of a green screen with the background actually a photo of the old set.
Caption: "When Si announces he's going it alone with a personal zip-tie sponsorship."
Another thumbs up for this show!
Cheers, Charles! 😍

What is the easiest way to find the current Hack/Bodge entries? I no longer see a Hack/Bodge tab in the app. Are they just randomly in the Community section?
The depth of field on this episode is much shallower than usual and it is somewhat unsettling.
The Cervelo bike in the Castelli shorts promotion should be straight into the bike vault
I use a old toe strap rather than an elastic band. Also works great when using tow bar racks.
Also a great hack (or bodge?)
Caption contest: yes, that’s Lloyd with an “oh!!!”
Whippet or whip-it™ canisters are used to make restaurant quality whipped cream. They also contain N2O or CO2 and can be inhaled to kill some brain cells.
Also, a great song by Devo.
Caption Competition: Inflatable dolls now available at the GCN shop
This week on GCN show, new optics or new green screen?
Both? That AI lens is definentely loosing track of Dan sometimes
No green screen, juist a fast lens wide open.
No control over the break, gears and nothing to stop you flying over the handlebar. Si is speaking about the reins or aerobars? :)
Do you know the feeling .. when my little beautiful homeland .. is mentioned on the big channel :) :)
Having fun with depth effect I see.
Caption Competition: Oh my Lloyd!
Hank Challenge - Connor returns to the Donegal 555 and takes Hank with him... Connor gets to ride whatever he wants. Hank has to ride the Euro bike.
Hey @gcn You're forgetting to add Johan Vansummeren's win. He also only has a handfull of wins.
The moment tDan tells Manon that he is changing his sweat top from Black to another colour!!
Caption Competition: Dan and Manon reacting to a GCN email on doing a 2 v 1 video against Si.
Caption: Dan and Manon react to the news that Ollie didn’t get dropped
You’ve got me thinking about using the dishwasher for cassettes and chains 🤔
I never let food appliances mix with non-food applications...just a good life rule.
Dan and Manon seeing Si's ankles
#CaptionCompetition Manon and Dan are in disbelief as they watch Si secure set lighting with Zip Ties.
Great little post race chat guys!! Si your ideal race was the RÀS…..??😬😂
Cervelo Test team... is that like the back up team? The team that tests out all the gear for the main Cervelo team?
#captioncompetition the look when seeing a kickstand on a superbike
Hank's challenge to one day try the cyclocross race. He has the energy for it.
#captioncompetition Si's investing in cable-tie company causes quite the stir
Nice new camera/lens setup. More bokeh please.
Caption competition: The telepromter said: Dan=😯 - Manon=😲
Hank likes long distance. So Lands End to John O'Groats. On a penny farthing. He tried hour records indoor and outdoor. Failed on both so chance to redeem his self.
in the paris Roubaix, don’t you think all the mechanical bike changes were actually for getting a bike with different tire pressures?
i've been watching the Tour Of The Alps, on GCN+, and with all the descending, would this not have been the PERFECT race for a Dropper post?
I guess we'll see.. Not that Bilbao needs anymore help to go down hill ridiculously fast
@@gcn everyone else needs the help to keep up, lol.
Well, not sure what bookies you checked guys, but odds for van Baarle winning were shorter than 34/1. I got paid 22/1 for his win. Anyway, to me it was not a surprise win, he was knocking to get a big one!
