As Si has mentioned before, Dan is a smart cookie, really knows his stuff. For all his modesty here, his knowledge and experience is a real advantage for GCN and it's viewers.
Wow! Great insight, thanks Dan. And we're enjoying your commentary on Bein Sports here in the USA.
+Medium Rick Definitely one of the reasons I was willing to pay up for their service.
+Medium Rick Thumbs up for that!
My head is just spinning after watching all of that! The massive amount of logistics that have to come together to make that happen is just mind boggling! I can't imagine what the Tour de France television area looks like!
I'd love to see a day in the life of a GCN presenter, like the background of how a GCN video is made!
+Catman dumb
+Catman Indeed!
What a quality insight to bits we never see. Cheers Dan appreciate the behind the scene stuff
true. Dan keep a good side of urs and hope i could see u doing some races
This is a super video! I didn't expect broadcasting a race was that much work.
Thank you for sharing this!
Definitively my favourite GCN video! Thank you for bringing an insight on how the magic of the cycling transmission is brought to us on tv.
Impressive amount of information about all the effort and work that goes into the broadcast. You make it look easy Dan..well done.
possibly the best gcn video imho, and that's saying a lot as I love gcn content. so awesome to see behind the scenes and get a glimpse of what the commentators and riders experience.
Great video! Loved seeing all the behind the scenes stuff.
This was one of the most interesting GCN videos, good job!
Great video guys! Really intresting to see behind the scenes of a grand tour.
Fascinating. One of the most interesting GCN pieces I've seen.
Great insight, thanks Dan, really enjoyed the tour behind the scenes.
That was definitely one of my favorite videos you guys have done. Very interesting stuff.
Awesome behind the scenes, GCN. Thanks!
fantastic! love the behind the scenes stuff
I watch every second of tv coverage of the giro from the USA on bien sports, and I have to say, Dan does a stellar job commentating , hope you start doing more races Dan!!!
Great video guys, it's nice to see what goes on behind the scenes.
Neat behind the scenes look. Thanks for sharing Dan and GCN
truly amazing, thanks for sharing!
Excellent Video GCN / Dan, very interesting and well put together!
Dan, how do you commentate and ride for Dimension Data at the same time? You are a beast of a man
The Dimension Data thing was an april fools joke...
+Hi:Fi6 a writer's diction can only convey sarcasm so much, in this case not enough for you
+Hi:Fi6 no this is the april fools joke. Dan is The Stig
+Lionel Messi comment of the week LoL
Wow, really interesting video! This sort of videos is waht keeps GCN at the top. Great job guys
Brilliant video - really interesting to get a different perspective of the post-race area in particular. Great respect for all cycling commentators, must be difficult to keep it interesting on transitional stages etc.
Excellent video! Very insightful
Best video yet! Thanks Dan.
Once again, GCN delivering content that no network, no TV show and no other TH-cam channel can.
So good!
It’s so boring
Excellent video Dan. Great behind-the-scene look for the rest of us.
Dan your a absolute pleasure to listen to. I believe you will be the future of the Tour de France you have a wonderful voice you're great at commentary you're a true professional and I'm proud to listen to you. I hope that this blows up for you
Fascinating behind the scenes look at broadcasting.
That was a brilliant video! as a cyclist and asa graphics artist in broadcast its great to see so much of the live side of sport
GCN you are amazing!
Really enjoyed the show Dan, very interesting thanks!
Very informative. Thanks for the tour.
Loved this segment !
Great video, Dan. I really liked hearing about the behind the scenes stuff. I really wish I could get Giro coverage here in California but best I get is snipits on TH-cam.
absolute the best video you have ever done!!!
great video dan....it was the most interesting thing i saw in a while.beside racing afcourse.. great job
Really awesome video! Thx guys!
Truly interesting and informative video, gives us plebes a glimpse behind the magic curtain. Thanks Dan!
So that’s why Cédric talked about GCN the other day ! Didn’t know you knew each other that’s super cool ! Fascinating video thanks a lot !
I never knew that Dan was commentating the Giro. I recognized his voice the other day, but I thought it couldn't be true. It's pretty awesome that you're a race commentator and a GCN presenter
This was the best GCN video ever!
Great behind the scenes video!
Fantastic video, thanks Dan
I'm loving your commentary in Canada! Awesome job and nice to see all this backstage stuff, so overwhelming for these guys, wow might put me off winning! Ok probs not, but still give them some food first at least!
It's really cool to see how all race commentaries take place. Thanks Dan.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember you said you are going back in pro race according to one of your GCN videos back in March or April; When would that be? Anytime soon? It'll be great to see you riding in the peloton.
What a great video! With a subliminal frame of Dan on the podium.
It sure is great hearing a familiar voice calling the race here on the US feed/BeIN sports. Amazing job Dan!! BTW-The Giro, Spring Classics, MotoGP, WSBK, and MotoAmerica are the only reasons I even subscribed to BeIN sports.
Great backstage tour. Nice to see the "kitchen" of the Grand Tour. It's also cool that Dan has a level control to adjust the voices in his head. Wish I had that)
Awesome insights Dan. I never new the leaders had that many press obligations. Thanks
Excellent informative video!
Cool video. Love behind the scenes stuff.
Great behind the scenes!!!
Excellent Video GCN / Dan
Great stuff. Very informative.
Yes, finally! Thank you Dan for pulling back the curtain. Question: how do the commentators deliver so much of the little nitty gritty details about each rider such as their palmares for example? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thank you very much for that great insight!
great insight dan! Cheers boss.
been enjoying your commentary here in Australia Dan
Thanks Dan, this was great!!
Great video. Nice to see Ned in action as well. *Really* enjoy his books.
Great job Dan!
Thanks for this video, it was an amazing insight! Now, was that bein cycling TV for Dan? I though Dan was part of Eurosport productions.
Great video, love it.
Wow that was pretty cool. And I thought you just brushed your hair before a gcn video ;-) Thanks, great insight!
That was great, thanks for doing it.
That was awesome! You made it much more clear why the commentators seem to know everything...... in a good way...haha
Very interesting. Thank you. Well done.
Great video guys!
I must say, that Dan, you and your partner are so much better commentators than those who cover the American races. I've been watching the Tour of California concurrently this week and it's so frustratingly stupid that it makes me so happy to hear the commentating of the Giro
+Lucas Bandarkar thanks Lucas. Dan.
Super cool - well done GCN gang!
There's a dial for voices in your head :D. Great video and insights!
Great choice of subject. Thanks.
Great video, thanks for the insights! I'd love to see a video about the experience as a fan of going to a stage of a race - apologies if you've already done this. For example, the Colle delle Finestre stage at last year's Giro. How do I get to the base of the climb? How do I get up to the top of the mountain? How early do I get there, and how long do I have to wait for the race to arrive? What do I do during this time? And, once the race passes, what next? Do people turn right around and head down? Or does the party continue for some time longer? How easily can I follow what's happening in the race before and after it passes me? You guys do great work - always entertaining and interesting. Keep it up.
this was awesome!
I agree with the other posts. This is a standout video, really excellent . Bravo Dan Lloyd
Thanks, this is very interesting!
Thanks for this most interesting video! Btw, why are stage winners / race winners wearing the podium jersey backwards?
Really great video. So interesting
I really enjoy your commentary in the US BeIN Sport channel, Dan. A familiar voice and knowledge from someone who was in the peloton only recently.
very interesting. thanks for sharing.
Really cool, thanks Dan
Oh wow! Dan's got a real job! That's amazing. Congrats Dan!
+Maxmaxz And a real full time hair stylist as well!
Thank you. I like the behind the scenes stuff.
That was great! Like a boss.
Id love to have the access to multiple views on the race and be able to listen to the raceradio at home. Very interesting video!
Great segment. Well done Cerveza Lloyd.
Fantastic, thanks.
that was a lot more interesting than I'd expected. Never knew Dan was such a big deal. His manner in the GCN vids is always so self a deprecating (or jokingly arrogant).
Nice one Dan, well presented, don't give up your day job ;)
Great video, love the behind the scenes look. I know it's been mentioned many many times before in other videos, but please make the music volume quieter (or the speech volume louder). I constantly have to increase and decrease my volume so it isn't blasting through the house when music comes on. There are usually people sleeping nearby, and I don't want to have to put headphones on just because the video volume is poorly balanced.
very informative!!!
Amazing!
Top behind the scenes business Dan!
When I glanced at the topic I thought this would be boring as hell, but I'll be damned if it didn't turn out to be really, really interesting. Thanks, Dan! Well done.
Really interesting...nice work...
Brilliant!!
great stuff!
Dan, I really enjoy your commentary during the Giro. You always add interesting little tid-bits of information that keep the show interesting especially when the racing is at a lull. When you interview the riders do you already know if they speak English well enough or do you have to ask them? Is there a group of translators standing by in case a rider doesn't speak English?
