You gotta love this guy! Been to the TOP of his profession. Raced against the BEST in the world. And now we are lucky enuf to get to share his WIT and WISDOM! Thanks Daniel,keep up the great work!
Dan, I know your joking and all but you shouldn't talk yourself down so much. There are MANY people who really admire you and what you have done for cycling... and I'm not only talking about your mom!
I like how proud you are of having ridden for the Cervélo test team. You should be, nicest kit in the peloton, great attitude towards the whole doping situation and my absolute favorite team at the time. :)
Great to see this Dan, still think of you as a local Bournemouth rider who went on to great things......and rode for .......what was that pro team (sorry couldn't resist). Can't think who who you might have been riding for at the time (mid 90's)I was & still am a Bournemouth Arrow CC very average rider at best.
i live just down the road Dan and love the new forest. But this pub looks perfect. Where is it? and any other hidden gems you can enlighten us with? Olly
Frank VDB had it all, style, glamour, not afraid of making big statements. There is no such rider in the peloton anymore.. Even if they were all juiced up, it was great fun to watch his exploits on and off the bike!
I would have thought Dan would have mentioned his time cycling for the Cervelo Test Team. I always thought he did quite well on the Team but he never seems to talk about it. ;)
I agree riding around Boulder, CO, USA is a great place. In fact I live up the canyon in Nederland. Let me know the next time you're in town and I'll show you the secret Mtn. bike trails that only locals know about (you can even bring out that classic mountain bike from your youth). We will require you take the blood oath of secrecy of course.
Dan, any thoughts about the usefulness of a power meter for some of us OAP's (old age pensioners) that have never used one before? Love all the vids and always look forward to the next. Thanks Boss.
The fact that I'm far more out of shape than someone mocking the fact he is out of shape makes me sad. Great video though! Dan, What's your desired groupset? Money no problem - Dream bike (Frame, grouppo, wheels etc).
Really great vid. this - fantastic.. ;) looking forward to the rest..of 'em GCN's just getting better even after a 1000 vids. which is some achievement !!!!!!
you mentioned Tuscanny as your fav place to ride. if by any chance you find this comment, would you recommend any specific routes, places there to ride? I plan a cycling vacation there. thanks
+videomiesto The thing that I like so much about Tuscany is the sheer number of roads - there isn't one specific ride that I was talking about, but I like the fact that there are so many options. The high mountains are fine, but there are only normally a couple of road options so you can soon get bored. Dan
Hey Dan - I noticed about 5 mins into the video a photo of a much younger you sporting a GIOS cap and long-sleeve jersey. Are you/were you a GIOS fan and do you still own one of the famous 'blue bikes'? Btw - I am currently on my 4th GIOS and love them!
Laurie Smith It was my first ever road bike, bought from Primera Sport, a shop near me who later became a sponsor. I have to admit I've not owned or ridden one since.
Daniel Lloyd Yes I remember Primera Sport (the owners name was 'Tony' something I believe) and they did sell GIOS bikes......sadly most of the traditional Italian frames (GIOS, Tommasini, Bottechia, CIOCC, Olmo, De Rosa, Masi etc) seem to have disappeared from the pro-peleton these days in favour of mass-produced American ones....?
How come everyone mispronounces Cervélo? They put an é in it and that says _ay_ as in hay not _e_ as in pet. Is it a veiled allusion to the Canadian _eh_?

Yeah don't forget his dad, daddy boss.
Compared to the top 0.5%, it can be easy to feel "inferior" but he was still in the top 99% for some time. Props to dan
Turk3YbAstEr Top 1% even...
Although you're probably right today Dan could only ride faster than the bottom 1% of riders, look how fat he is now.
I meant to say he was better than 99% of the people on the road. top-10 at strade bianche doesn't happen by accident
Love Dan´s sense of humor and he is a great presenter and a great rider too. Respect to the Boss!
like if you want the "Day in the life of a podium girl" video to be uploaded!
I like how proud you are of having ridden for the Cervélo test team. You should be, nicest kit in the peloton, great attitude towards the whole doping situation and my absolute favorite team at the time. :)
"Did I mention that I ran with the Cervelo test team?"
Sen Flores "Did I... yeah, I probably did..." That was priceless!
This is wonderful Daniel, you road in the 2010 Tour de France! Wonderful!
Dan, you are a delightful fellow. Fair play.
I could watch these GCN videos all day.
Great to see this Dan, still think of you as a local Bournemouth rider who went on to great things......and rode for .......what was that pro team (sorry couldn't resist). Can't think who who you might have been riding for at the time (mid 90's)I was & still am a Bournemouth Arrow CC very average rider at best.
Daniel Lloyd is even more awesome than I thought he was.
Please, PLEASE let the videos about the other GCN presenters be as good.
Doubtful.
I always enjoy watching gcn videos, so glad I came across their channel
Who was the team you rode for Dan I didn't get it !
Did he ride for Cervelo Test Team?
Yes.
Dunno, he didn't make it clear.
Team sky
Ye
I can't stress enough how awesome this video is.
Release 'a day in the life of a podium girl' immediately.
Far and away my favorite channel on TH-cam! Great insight! Looking forward to hearing the other guys' stories too.
That helmet is borderline trypophobia trigger...
Googled; That's a new one on me. I have that helmet (but in much cooler matt black). I don't have that fear, thankfully.
That helmet bugged me- but I finished the vid. Lol hideous helmet.
I thought the same thing haha
Thank you Daniel it gave us a closer look to your personality.
Please please upload that video! Dan and the podium girls would be just the best thing ever.
You guys sure make it look like your having fun, so it nice to hear you say you are.
All your videos are really amusing Dan, keep up the good work!
"didnt think you'd see my ugly face again did you?" LMFAO I DIED XDXD
Dan why the Cervelo test team brag, why not "the time I beat Chris Froome" brag.......
Big_O gun how to list
gun how to do. Videos
Great interview but that glass of beer seems to randomly refill itself and evaporate. Amazing!
Big BIG thumbs up. Dan is my cycling hero. Cheers.
I love your videos! You guys inspire me to be a better rider, big time!
Gotta love the British accent. A place cooled (called) cool.
shoutout to Gavin Free
Would love to see more of him on the channel
Joking aside, I notice that none of those hairdos were mentioned in answer to the regret question. This worries me.
This worries me too!
Upon seeing them, I dont think I'll be sleeping well tonight...
Hi Dan, just realised that I live down the road from you guys and I think that I've seen you interviewing on tv at a recent race in italy I think
+somerset hikes yep - that was me. Dan
somerset hikes your lucky that you can see them.
You guys are great , keep it up and thanks for all the tips and help.
What team did he ride for again?
Cervélo test team, not sure though cause he didnt mention it often enough
@@matejburian3191 He mentioned it many times
Even the interview... LIKE A BOSS!
So I looked up the definition of boss and a picture of Daniel Lloyd popped up.. hmm...
GCN Viewers demand the podium girl episode! (well, at least the male ones do)
Where is Ollie’s Meet the Presenters video?
i live just down the road Dan and love the new forest. But this pub looks perfect. Where is it? and any other hidden gems you can enlighten us with? Olly
I want a compilation of all the times Dan forgot to tell us about his "Pro career"
About the haircut; I can't stop thinking about the singer in Happy Mondays, mid 90ies.
great vid. would love to know more in depth about your training blocks you used to do!
Trypophobics may faint watching Daniel's helmet on the left corner
Frank VDB had it all, style, glamour, not afraid of making big statements. There is no such rider in the peloton anymore.. Even if they were all juiced up, it was great fun to watch his exploits on and off the bike!
The middle parting hair on that mountain bike 😂 😂 😂
Hey Boss! We all want to see that podium girl episode! 😜
Dan, once again, like a boss!
I would have thought Dan would have mentioned his time cycling for the Cervelo Test Team. I always thought he did quite well on the Team but he never seems to talk about it. ;)
Awesome video guys.... can you do a video on way to buy these thing. I'm getting a road bike and i need to know what to put on and where to get them
Dan, do you like that Castelli-kit more than your GCN kit, quality based?
I agree riding around Boulder, CO, USA is a great place. In fact I live up the canyon in Nederland. Let me know the next time you're in town and I'll show you the secret Mtn. bike trails that only locals know about (you can even bring out that classic mountain bike from your youth). We will require you take the blood oath of secrecy of course.
Absolute legend!
i loved VDB too!
Man, Dan should update this! I'm going to blink and this video is going to be a decade old.
keep them coming, it's going to be a long winter..
i've just started on rollers..Elite Mag Arion..can you do something more on rollers...?
All these guys are funny as hell...who says work can't be fun lol
Living in Boulder now and starting to cycle more. Can you reccomend some of your favorite rides?
Roumor has it Dan once cycled with the cervelo test team
Hi, great job on your videos but why didn't you publish the one with the podium girls??? Would've been nice
Lol this video came up just days after I asked for it in the kit survey!
dan had a 5 some with those girls that's why he loved that day so much
Favorite moment with GCN The podium girls! Yes!!! Yer da man!! Haha!
1:53 is a top class 'curtains' style 90's centre parting
The 4 hour epic sweet spot training session - how did it break down? There must have been more than 2x 45 min intervals to make up that duration.
One effort at the start and one at the end. The rest probably at a steady tempo. I think.
Thomas Ashford correct
Dan, any thoughts about the usefulness of a power meter for some of us OAP's (old age pensioners) that have never used one before? Love all the vids and always look forward to the next. Thanks Boss.
Started off as a mountain cyclist??? ....hmmm, i'm going to have to re-watch the 'how to jump' video with GMBN! :)
How many bikes does Daniel have? Seen him riding a Cervelo,Felt, Spesh etc.
The fact that I'm far more out of shape than someone mocking the fact he is out of shape makes me sad.
Great video though! Dan, What's your desired groupset? Money no problem - Dream bike (Frame, grouppo, wheels etc).
Dan is the boss of modesty and self advertising
you are a legend.
We love you Matt Stephens!!! Ride on you crazy diamond :)
Anybody got the song @4:38?
Thanks!
Really great vid. this - fantastic.. ;) looking forward to the rest..of 'em GCN's just getting better even after a 1000 vids. which is some achievement !!!!!!
0:54 I thought it was Bradley Wiggins.
How did he get to have a cervelo jersey?
you mentioned Tuscanny as your fav place to ride. if by any chance you find this comment, would you recommend any specific routes, places there to ride? I plan a cycling vacation there. thanks
+videomiesto The thing that I like so much about Tuscany is the sheer number of roads - there isn't one specific ride that I was talking about, but I like the fact that there are so many options. The high mountains are fine, but there are only normally a couple of road options so you can soon get bored.
Dan
agreed. after all we spent a week close to San Gimignano and had couple of rides on a roads nearby and it was really good.
Which test team did he ride for, again? I didn't catch it.
Hey Dan - I noticed about 5 mins into the video a photo of a much younger you sporting a GIOS cap and long-sleeve jersey. Are you/were you a GIOS fan and do you still own one of the famous 'blue bikes'? Btw - I am currently on my 4th GIOS and love them!

The final question seems more appropriate for Matt.
Hi Dan what place did you come on the Tour de France? From Sam.
I can't find the podium girl video. Is it in a playlist?
He said it was never completed/uploaded. Probably too much unusable footage of them fawning over the pretty ladies/kept for 'personal' use...
typo at 1:46, unless it's a UK thing which I'm 99% sure it's not.
Jeremey Bot what wor?
You should have asked them to top up that pint
We need that podium girls video!!
how about matt the flight deck man? when does his video coming out?
I nearly spat my tea out laughing at 7:10
whats the video of them swimming
Did he say 'Like a Boss' or 'Lycra Boss'? Either works, I guess! :-P Oh, and Ronda should definitely be included in all GCN shows from now on :).
Quality stuff, keep it going GCN
Which pro team did Dan ride for ?
I was surprised when I googled Daniel Lloyd under Google images
Why didn't you ride your Cervelo bike back from your time on the team? :(
Wonderful!
Dan that is sacrilegious! How can you ride in your Cervelo test team kit and not on your Cervelo!?
How come everyone mispronounces Cervélo? They put an é in it and that says _ay_ as in hay not _e_ as in pet.
Is it a veiled allusion to the Canadian _eh_?
Favourite bike? Nice vid... As per😀
Loved it!
Dan, how tall are you and what size bike frame do you ride? I'm 1.98 meters and hate the look of long head tubes.
PavlovOlbrzym I'm 1m88 and ride a 58cm Cervelo, varies in other makes.
Villager no. 9 is on the scene
Is there a cervelo test Team and race team? Or is it the same thing. Someone explain lol
Gabe Hamilton It was the same thing, later on it would become the structure of Garmin and, nowadays, it's the structure of Cannondale-Garmin Pro Team
Thanks
Looks like Si is winning on the views. Mind you, he could be clicking on it himself :)
Great stuff!
