    Did the result surprise you? Should we get two people on time trial bikes for our next experiment?

    Ollie getting dropped twice by pro and ex pro cyclists, while funny for the viewers, is expected. Well done to Ollie for being the best sport, and participating despite the expected drop and following jokes, for the good of the channel. He might not have the biggest stats, but he’s got the biggest heart of them all.

    The more I think about these videos, the more respect I have for Ollie. As others point out, he alone among the presenters is not a former pro and is in over his head. He knows this and stood up anyway. Even taking all the grief he got on the 4v1 video, he stood up again. While I've given him grief over the years, he does have my respect for participating knowing he was in for another ration of grief. Congrats Ollie!

      I reckon the plan was never for him to keep up, and it was done purely for laughs. The bit with Manon closing the window on him is genius comedy that breaks up the seriousness of the competition.

Some pros can have an FTP of 450 Watts, compared to this where could an average person's theorical limit be?

      Bringing in a Pro-rider and non-GCN employee was the equivalent of a Sunday football league team fielding a non-registered player, ie a ringer, and therefore against the rules and unethical. I would guess that the Pro would beat Si on his own riding a cheap bike! Additionally, surely 5 riders didn't beat Si; it was 4 or the time should have been when the last member of the team, ie Ollie, finished? Therefore, should be a team of GCN employeses and all riders to finish the course.

      okies I watched it again (surprise) and I still cry foul per surface/air moisture. Paddling through the puddles at the start probably cost him a second or two in itself, Therefore, logic dictates that until a proper dry surface race is performed, the Siborg is still undefeated. All will be assimilated. Resistance is Futile. Lots of fun thanks again.
