And the wash-kit? No Sky-branded toothbrush? No blue-stripe toothpaste? Rapha (much lighter than your standard Colgate) dental floss? This is The Line...The Line between minty-fresh and dogbreath...
Delighted you chose Boz for your subject; it's nice to get to 'meet' the lesser known hard-working riders. Generally, the race cameras and interviewers focus on the big names so it's good of GCN to spread the net a bit wider.
I would be interested in more information on the pros recovery methods. Those recovery boots were sweet. What kind of specific food and drinks they use.
I'm surprised that sky with all their marginal gains lark haven't heard of f.lux - a little app that turns computer, laptop or tablet screen from blue to more pinky depening on the time of the day and the location - instead telling their riders to wear shades!
Great work GCN to allow us to see a pro's complete suitcase content, but couldn't help noticing the sticker 😳. Will you be doing a follow up for the "Own Shit" compartment that you clearly missed, and is that a new secret Rapha product soon to launch 😄
It's the patience and forbearance of the riders in these videos that never fails to impress me as some garrulous British man barges into their room and rummages through their underwear on camera. Fair play, Ian Boswell. Also, who else didn't expect that accent from someone called Ian Boswell?
I'm always surprised that even grand-tour pro riders carry with their own wears. it never happens in pro baseball. I think they need locker room truck.
Sky are still secretly bed doping =p Honestly though the whole idea of bed doping is ridiculous why punish riders who don't want to lose sleep in a already physically stressful job
rapha kit nice, but for the same price as a pair of socks i could have every depth of enve wheels and some chris king hubs. ya filthy rasclart, yah feel meh!!
Nah, maybe hundred quids worth, if that. The real cost is passed on to the pro kit wanker who thinks he's getting a 'marginal gain' riding 50mile a week in full team kit! Rapha do have the finest branding in the pro Pelton though. Can't knock em for that!!
love these kind of videos, would love to see more
1:06 that move of Matt hahah
Hahaha funny
7:51
"Yeah, we got some Public Enemy."
"Oh."
The Wig just realized he's an old man.
These kind of videos are my favourite. Good to see such a charismatic young bloke at the race too.
For a terrible second I thought Matt was going to sniff the boxers.
+Dan Vella Off camera, I wonder if he did...out-takes please, GCN!
Makes you wonder since there was no cap around.
Definitely a nice guy Ian. He could be part of the GCN team in the future!
Loving the "Own Shit" label on the suitcase
"Like a TARDIS". I was a Matt fan, now I'm hooked! Doctor Who ftw!!
Good job Matt.
(and good job Mom, too!)
Ian is such a great sport!!!
Boswell is a cool guy i really like him. Great video as always.
Matt looked too comfortable handling those boxers :)
And the wash-kit? No Sky-branded toothbrush? No blue-stripe toothpaste? Rapha (much lighter than your standard Colgate) dental floss? This is The Line...The Line between minty-fresh and dogbreath...
All in the preparation. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail as they say ;-)
+countertony comment of the week
countertony blue stripe toothpaste too funny

Very interesting and Ian seems proper sound. Keep up the good work guys.
Written all over his face: 1: Matt LOVES going through peoples personal possessions. 2: Matt is REALLY hoping to score some freebies.
Nice video ! I love the moments when the riders are so relax and joking :D
follow a proper team then. #Oricagreenedge
#OGEROCKS
Thank you GCN for making road cycling just that bit less pretentious. Thank you!!!
love these videos! good video. keep it up!
Well done on the Doctor Who reference Matt!
bed doping!!
Public Enemy yeeeaaahh! stoked to see a young guy like Ian listens to that! And great ride today for a podium spot in stage 11!!
Gotta love those moms!
Great video. Really enjoyed that.
When Matt says that he wears the same size trousers that he did as a pro could he possibly mean same length rather than the same waist circumference?
Nice guy Ian.
Cool to see that at least some one in the peloton listen to some good shit. I'm not a big fan of rap but you gotta appreciate Public Enemy.
2:02 Poor Matt seemed a bit miffed when Ian questioned whether he'd still fit size small :-)
wow Team Sky kit is insane. Do most teams get this sort of outfitting?
When ever Matt is on a team bus or hotel room he remind's me of Cosmo Kramer..
It seemed to have all worked, impressive job on the podium Stage11 #lv2015
I would be interested in more information on the pros recovery methods. Those recovery boots were sweet. What kind of specific food and drinks they use.
Ian seems like a top lad
Greatest tour. Tour de Suitcase. Thanks mom. ❤
Very entertaining!
I want to see a video on the secret to matt Stephen's hair
+ThatWolffe It's all in the nickname...
S.K.P. no no there must be more to it, there must be much much more to it..... enough to warrant a whole video.
That's a waddam sayin' a brother
+ThatWolffe There's actually a moisturizing conditioner out there called "Curly Sexy Hair"... could that be part of it? lol
1. Apply Pritstick liberally to head.
2. Roll around on barber's floor.
Gcn is love
The Bos - has it hangin' man !!!!!!!
Nice bloke is Ian, might have to get me one of those mesh baselayers
Ian looks like a nice guy
Never mind the case, Ive never seen shorts like those Matt's wearing!... look at all those pockets.
Looks like a right leg, phone specific pocket!
Could you do a video on best junior road bikes?
Also maybe take a visit to ppycc great youth club
I'm surprised that sky with all their marginal gains lark haven't heard of f.lux - a little app that turns computer, laptop or tablet screen from blue to more pinky depening on the time of the day and the location - instead telling their riders to wear shades!
Man it must be nice to get most if not all of that kit for free. I have only one set of cylcing clothes because high quality stuff is so expensive.
Tom, how much would it cost to kit out one team sky rider in rapha kit.
Very little. schmuck consumers pay for it!!!
Interesting question
At recommended retail prices, I might add.
+Lorcan Byrne Twould be like Xmas if that box arrived
+Vincent Guerin oh yea. Or maybe a full pro castelli set too.
Great work GCN to allow us to see a pro's complete suitcase content, but couldn't help noticing the sticker 😳. Will you be doing a follow up for the "Own Shit" compartment that you clearly missed, and is that a new secret Rapha product soon to launch 😄
Ian seems to be such a funny guy!
is it me or is Matt looking a little leaner than usual?, possible come back mate? lol
+kiely 456 #crossiscoming
Word is he is really unwell
+kiely 456 I was thinking the same - I'm putting it down to a haircut or a bigger tee! ha
Ian Boswell listens to Public Enemy. He is now my favorite pro rider. :V
osx users get flux to block out the blue light at night =D no need for those super crazy weird but awesome glasses
wow that's worth thousands of retail dollars of Rapha apparels in there! It's good to be sponsored!
I could just smuggle a random team sky rider's suitcase and eat out of that for the next year.
I wish I had a suitcase full of Rapha clothes.
I reckon I could fill a suitcase with my Rapha kit... I'm obsessed and completely broke please help me
good video
Nice vid :)
one pair of pants for a 3 week tour, respect man.
What model are those Oakleys anyone?
just look at his face when Matt is laying on his bed, he may bring his own sheets to know what he has done in them, but what has Matt done?!?!?!
Where's the gcn show ?
which is the song played at the end of the vídeo?
I need one of those mats.... for my wife. Perhaps one for my son after he's born too.
It's the patience and forbearance of the riders in these videos that never fails to impress me as some garrulous British man barges into their room and rummages through their underwear on camera.
Fair play, Ian Boswell.
Also, who else didn't expect that accent from someone called Ian Boswell?
"Typical stuff - Rapha Jeans, Rapha Transfer trousers, Rapha Boxer Shorts" Huh? Typical? I don't think so.
Cool Guy
Matt: 'Who's that at the door interrupting our video.'
What's the car for that carry the bikes
Where's his clips
Matt should've modeled some of the clothes. Just picking them up, one by one, I mean c'mon. You're denying your audience, Matt Stephens.
His mum is so cute
where's all the gear
I wondered if he brought his own pillow with him.
I'm always surprised that even grand-tour pro riders carry with their own wears. it never happens in pro baseball. I think they need locker room truck.
Najs vid :D
rarpha jeans
You guys forgot to show whats inside the fridge....
I hope the Team Sky soigneurs washed those sheets again...
Only if the sheets belong to Team Sky and not the hotel.
This guy has thousand of dollars worth of kit.
All that stuff in his bag, but nothing to iron his t-shirt?
I to the A to the N...
Matt what happened to your skinny jeans? Those are the baggiest (and ugliest) cargo's I've ever seen!
Sky are still secretly bed doping =p
Honestly though the whole idea of bed doping is ridiculous why punish riders who don't want to lose sleep in a already physically stressful job
Wooooooha
Cut through the fabric of that suitcase and show us what they re really packing.
Epo
rapha kit nice, but for the same price as a pair of socks i could have every depth of enve wheels and some chris king hubs. ya filthy rasclart, yah feel meh!!
Thousands of £$£$£$£'s worth
Nah, maybe hundred quids worth, if that. The real cost is passed on to the pro kit wanker who thinks he's getting a 'marginal gain' riding 50mile a week in full team kit!
Rapha do have the finest branding in the pro Pelton though. Can't knock em for that!!
+MG if I remember correctly I think 1 bib shorts are about 100 or 110 while bib tights are 200 or 190
glasses for computer hahahahahaha
love these videos! good video. keep it up!
