It's all looking nice. I still don't understand why Cannondale is using Helvetica-written straight logo, while they have better,, italic, one. Also Colnago uses serif font on their bikes ... and it just doesn't fit. Im still in love with Trek logo, that show technical spirit mixed with dynamic expression. In addition, Cervelo and Fizik logos have that wonder spark that warms my heart.
Trek whose logo on the downtube is so large it's hard to see the paintjob behind them? Ew. The nicest looking logo remains Wilier, the nicest looking paint job is the Factor
The main reason Ineos is on rim brakes is because pinarello frames are a boat anchor. Same reason they go for the uber expensive Lightweight wheels on mtn stages
@@philipk4475 No, they do so because they have the resources to ride what they like and can resist pressure from sponsors. Rim brakes are more reliable, easier to maintain and make for faster wheel changes.
Notice how the stays, top tube, & seat tube connection ALL seem to have similar geometry now? Must make structural sense, somehow. Just seems like the short seat tube extension between the stays & top tube is getting enormously-more bending moment & shear, no??
Wilier, De Rosa, Cipollini, Bianchi, Colnago, Pinarello, Campagnolo, Vittoria, Pirelli, FSA, EDA, Selle Italia... Plenty of Italy in the Cycling World Tour!!!
Love looking at bikes I will buy used in 3-4 years! It's like a glimpse of the future. That Shiv look amazing. I like the yellow forks on the Jumbo team bikes.
Guys, thanks for this update on the pros bikes always great to see and hear despite not being there in person 👍🏻😍 BUT there are 3 W.T.T. on oversize rear derailers/jockey wheels but you only mention on of these teams therefore I’m left pondering what ones the other 2 teams are on......🤔🤔🤔😃
All those details on the ISN bikes, all the way down to the brake pads, and all we get is a cheeky grin from the presenters who steered around Froome's comments about disc brakes. It's not like we're not all thinking it.
@@RidgwayBrandon i see. Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated. It's sad that they are not the sponsor of any team in the mens' this year, knowing that they are the largest bike manufacturer in the world. And also i just love their new Giant TCR.
Pay attention to the way the bikes are posed for photos, lads. Most often cranks aligned with the chainstays, not horizontal. Valves at 6 or at 12 o'clock, and even at 10 and 2 on the SD Worx beauty shots!
I'm interested to know why the various GCN presenters ride the bikes they do, as you all seem to ride something different. There is so much choice out there (depending on your budget) so what determines your buying decision?
CCC team dissolved and their owner sold the license to Wanty-Gobert. Giant, being the biggest bike manufacturer in the world, probably does just fine without any sponsorship.
Yes and no. The Litening comes with NEWMEN wheels, if you buy it fully spect out. But they are not the OEM Brand of Cube. NEWMEN is a own company, they are selling there wheels on there own.
So many pretty bikes! Can’t help but feel bike racing would be more appealing to more people if the team names were simpler or more along the lines of the canyon sram or liv teams, these randomly changing bizarre mega sponsor teams make it hard to keep track or feel any kind of loyalty to any one team in particular and really detracts from the gear they are using.
What's your favourite set up for 2021 out of all these teams? Let us know 👇
loving the Ineos Grenaders bikes
Ineos grenadier bikes > all bikes
Canyon Sram look awesome. Fantastic paintjobs on awesome looking bikes.

Difficult .... I love the Wilier-paint job, the TT-bike of Bianchi. But my favorite is the Canyon CFR (will get mine in March 😍)
A sad moment when there will be no Giant TCRs in the pro peloton :(
Yea only regular sized TCRs.
Jon's grubby little hands are missed for these videos.
Lol! Exactly!
And freehub sound checks
Let´s hope the seatpost will not burst on the canyon ... cheers.
I'm glad Bahrain kept the colours I thought the bike looked great last year.
Beautiful bikes all of them 😘, none of which I can afford 😢
😂😭😂
Which bike would help someone not get DROPPED? asking for a mate
A motor bike...
Any one of the time trial bikes....
But that would defeat the purpose, would n’t it !

The amount of memes that will come out of 'Bahrain victorious' this year will be ridiculous
And that's whether or not they get a lot of wins!
xd
Well, they've already got a win this year at the Tour de la Provence. Fingers crossed we get a full season of racing this year.
Shimano going in heavy with the power meters.
Here's to that eventually bringing the price on power meters down.
Too bad they are a compromised design
Boliver Fridgewater is looking more and more like dracula
No Giant on Mens Team😭😭😭

That Oltre XR4 with that new paintjob is just beautiful 😍
I preferred last year's paintjob better..

Corima wheels are stunning and the best looking wheels on the pro peloton imo
the integration job cube did is amazing
The look on Ollie's face when Alex says, "Synapse" at 4:57 💀
Ollie should be hiding himself until he can learn to pronounce Bontrager correctly.
Rim brakes for the win.. go Ineos!

Drool worthy rigs!
I love the De Rosa, and Colnago
1923, six Parsi boys begin world tour from Mumbai. Book first published in 1984
Been waiting for this video for ages!
Really wanna see LOOK bikes in the world tour.
Ale BTC ´s Cipollini NK1K is so beautiful
When will GCN be going to 4k resolution?

No disc brakes on the new Bianchi Aquila, though.
Campagnolo + Colnago of the UAE team. It doesn't get any better.
what happened to team CCC with their Giant TCRs?
CCC doesn't exist anymore. It'll be replaced by Wanty (using CUBE bikes by the way)
pandemic. CCC was a brick and mortar shoe retailer and covid hit them hard

One of them is Astana, but I couldn't see the other they didn't mention
1. Israel Start-Up Nation
2. Astana - Premier Tech
3. Team Qhubeka - Assos
3:30 I think the lever hood needs to be pulled back on that DeRosa Merak... Cervelo, Cippo and BMC for the win.
That merida reacto is nice!!
Its cool to see cube at the World Tour.
Is the fact some bikes get major detail and some a 5 second comment a sponsorship thing?
No GIANT bikes for the men teams...
A sad season for the GIANT fans...
Can´t be that much ...xD
@@hendriksiering9077 Hey there's dozens of us!
Was this recorded before or after chilly nuts were consumed?

Glad to see De Rosa in the mix. Very classy.
No Giant bikes for Mens 2021? Why? Who replaced?
CCC isn’t a team anymore
CCC folded and were replaced by Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux so effectively Giant have been replace by Cube
Team CCC sells their WT license to wanty-gobert.
@@RidgwayBrandon i see. Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated. It's sad that they are not the sponsor of any team in the mens' this year, knowing that they are the largest bike manufacturer in the world.

Why isn't anyone riding the Giant TCR in the Tour De France? Snice they say it's one of the best bike out there.
All hail GCN+ ...... the constant reminder feels like I'm being indoctrinated into a cult.... I'm already in a cult which is riding bikes!!
Sad times Harry, I'm sure you'll get this back up and running in the future. Medium (white) if still going 😁.
What happen to Giant bike this year
No Giant TCR or propel by pro team
What happen to CCC team?
CCC lost their sponsorship and the former BMC/CCC team owners Continuum Sports (Jim Ochowitz) sold their WT license to Wanty-Gobert
Will giant bike be a sponsor to other pro team in future
@@virtualmartijn thanks for the reply
Will Giant bike be back in action again I am a fan of giant bike
Love That Bottechia
Alex is improving every week. Now if only Ollie can up his game... ; )
Stop pushing things I can't get.. Can't even download the app here 😑
Canyon logo and design looks rlly slick
Pay attention to the way the bikes are posed for photos, lads. Most often cranks aligned with the chainstays, not horizontal. Valves at 6 or at 12 o'clock, and even at 10 and 2 on the SD Worx beauty shots!
Only teams left which are sticking to rim brakes :-) I feel sorry for the riders!
I assume you mean you feel sorry for the ones who are forced by their sponsors to ride disc brakes?
Can you also make a video which bike manufacturer is the most unsuccessful in racing?
My dream bike is a Bianci w EPS Campy 50/34 12 speed w disc brakes. How can i get a used pro bike?
I'm interested to know why the various GCN presenters ride the bikes they do, as you all seem to ride something different. There is so much choice out there (depending on your budget) so what determines your buying decision?
I also wonder this. Why Ollie rides Pinarello? And Dan usually Orbea
Trek have made the world lightest roadbike in history
Please, where can i one of this bike am in Africa... Am really impressed
I'm in Johannesburg. You?
Sir , please am here in Ghana 🇬🇭 now
Hey GCN, please ask GCN Japan how to pronounce Shimano!
She - ma - no. Should also learn Movistar - Mow - v - star, not Movie Star.
@@rlanger hmm here in spain we say movie star
Never heard of quork power meters myself
Their owned by sram if I’m not mistaken
@@montgomerycurren4890 it was a joke cos its Quarq and they pronounced it quork
Quark is a dairy product halfway between cream cheese and yoghurt.
Farewell, Giant
Isn’t there a subdivision of Giant in women’s?
the bike in the background is fit as
Should get riders to do freehub soundchecks at home
The industry push for disc brakes is ridiculous!
#askgentech why do so few of the pro teams in your latest video use SRAM groupsets?
Their marketing department needs to wake up from their slumber? One men's team on Sram is not a good look. .
Because it just isn't as good as Dura Ace
Because Sram is not willing or does not have enough budget to sponsor more teams. Simple as that.
UAE Emirates NEEEEEDS a gold chain
Is this the first year all manufacturers have moved to disk brakes?
I have a soft spot for Bianchi bikes!
... disc* brakes ...
Lapierre Xelius absolute beast 👍🏻
What about the ccc team with Giant bikes ?
CCC team dissolved and their owner sold the license to Wanty-Gobert. Giant, being the biggest bike manufacturer in the world, probably does just fine without any sponsorship.
How many channels do these guys have? Like i keep finding them. I found ebike channel even. These guys must be under pretty big pressure
If pressure? Fkn lol. It’s called covering all bases.
@@redditislife7997 which is a remarkable feat. It aint easy my friend
No Orbea :(
Lotto Soudal Ladies racing are using Shimano Ultegra di2 and non-campy wheels also.
probike review is back!!!
A disc brake Bianchi 😢
So? Their first disc model was introduced in 2014.
Where is the LOOK? According to Hambini the Best bike.
racing crits
Anything with organic Campisconolo goodness will do for me, as it did at the end of July in Paris.
love Your videos keep up the awesome work
Why no Alpecin Fenix?
What about fuji bikes 🚴🏾
Liked that 👌
Cries in Felt...
Why use a seat post, if a bike is used by just one person just make the seat tube the right height and save weight.
hm.hope can afford one of this bike😍
No Giant this year?
Sadly not!
Where are other teams
Factor
BIANCHI 😮🤤
CUBY's 💚
What's the Shimano SRAM Campagnolo ratio? Can't be bothered watching all of this but no SRAM until half way.
Hardly any SRAM in the men's teams but dominant in the woman's?
@@maxgrass8134 ... in the women's* teams ...
You forgot alpecin fenix
I see all but one team took bribes from the disc brake industry? (except for an occasional TT bike)
Astana will be using Filante as their aero bike, not Cento10 Pro.
Are nobody use road bike name Polygon ?
Isnt Btc Slovenian team
No Trek in this ???
real pro bicycle race should be two riders on one bicycle (not tandem).
7:47 “small German brand NEWMEN” it’s just the oem brand of CUBE, do you homework Ollie ;)
Yes and no. The Litening comes with
NEWMEN wheels, if you buy it fully spect out. But they are not the OEM Brand of Cube. NEWMEN is a own company, they are selling there wheels on there own.
