No Auf Deutsch presenters? So, next time, it should be a GB vs EU vs ROW (rest of the world) competition. 4 from each. EU picks 1 from each country (Germany, France, Spain, Italy - Ireland too?), ROW from Japan and USA. And we need this at least twice a year in some kind of race/challenge format - these fastest presenter races/challenges are fun and exciting to watch!
YES! How long since anyone called him Siborg? Thoroughly deserved mate! To make things fair, maybe it should be every other GCN presenter on tt bikes and Si on a BMX.
This was absolutely brilliant and very watchable. I can't believe you pulled off the commentary with such a prestigious commentator from the Tour de France who really made this production that bit more special.
This was an awesome idea! Congrats to all the Ladies and Gents taking part. I hope this could become at LEAST a annual event! This would be so cool in real life but with Zwift making it possible to race from Japan, Spain, France, Uk.... wow. So cool. I was smiling just watching all the way through! Manon... hitting13.4 wts!!!! wow.. just wow.
Great video guys, really enjoyed that and i was excited over the race. Si is a beast! but kudos to all the presenters. i wonder if a video opportunity would be an explanation on what tactics people could use when Zwift racing? you guys would mention some strategies you were using but us non racers would like to learn more! More Zwift races!
Not surprised by SI taking the prize. Totally impressed by the sprint effort by Manon. Respect! Hoped to see Oli in the points as well. But Comp seems to be pretty steep. Great show all! Oh and midnight for my man in Japan! Yeah! I love a good midnight Zwift ride! Oh... And what's this under 40 crap? A presenter is a presenter, right?! Maybe next time it's time for the Open category? You know, you're breathing, you're in! 🤣
What a great visual spectacle, well done GCN presenters, an absolute pleasure to watch. More of this “insight” into the pro biking world please as it is fascinating for all us who only dream of hitting those speeds, cadence and power levels as the norm. Fair play to Manon with the sprint win, didn’t see that one coming.....but well deserved.
Seemed to have worked out though. And it might very well have been a joke, as he always says he's done his training and then attaches an unusually small timeframe.
Already in the first minute of the video I was talking to myself like "Si's gonna smash 'em" and yeah, I was right 😆. Congrats Si, you're my favourite presenter since I started following GCN some five or six years ago.
Super Awesome! I loved this. The announcer was fantastic too! Great Job everyone and Congrats Si. The teamwork was fantastic and really cool to watch. Congrats to the English Speaking Team! Thanks all for this great video/race.
Great entertainment! Love how a) Manon could relax and send a few texts after her prime win and b) the elevator music thrown in during those shots. Kudos to the riders and to the production team for putting on a great show.
I was hoping that Hank and Connor would win this time! I mean Hank is a Beast and Connor is a Champion for gods sake 😂 But the Siborg did his thing again! Great job dude!! You are always my favorite presenter with close second Hank and Connor!
Well done Si holding on to that huge effort. Well deserved win. Hank and Connor trying not to puke Si looking well pleased & Manon can we do that again....brilliant!
Brilliant race, fun to watch. Congrats Si! Amazing effort! Maybe you should do one with GCN members as well? That would be even more entertaining for us 😃 Cheers guys!
Si-borg is hitting some fantastic form recently. Is it that the others are letting things slide? Hank looks like a beast atm but no-one has an answer to Si, he has really started to unlock some potential and looks super fit with it.
Two firsts for GCN this year. The first BMX video after waiting to 7 years. Si's first presenter win after waiting for 8 years. At least Si doesn't need to go in for a respray like last year.
Conor: recently retired Grand Tour rider, still getting the hang of presenting, can’t beat the GCN hasbeens. (Each of whom I love dearly) Si: several years since retirement from okay pro career, arguably the best presenter on the team, routinely smashes the team challenges. Is it possible Conor’s gone full natty whilst Si’s forgotten to end his last cycle? ;)
There’s something seriously doctored about Si being faster than Conor. Didn’t he compete anonymously last year matching the hour record pace for 45 minutes?
@@theinstigatorr or he didn’t work out as much, even less during the original lockdown and lost a lot of fitness. Realistically, it goes fast when it goes. I tore my meniscus a few years ago and had to stay off my legs for months. I went from a tank who could walk for miles regardless of my weight to needing to sit regularly every little bit, even when I lost. Cycling is starting to help me rebuild some of that. I thought it was gone for good.
@@theinstigatorr I think conspiracy theories about Si's performance being faked perhaps aren't the way forward... or are they? Is he really just faking it? Maybe the GCN show should address these rumours.
LOVED IT!!!!! LOVED IT!!!!!! The pain faces at the end... . hahahahahahahaha I've been there Threw myself on the sofa once and the Wahoo Flywheel burned my shin because it was still spinning from the final sprint. hahahahahha
Loved it! Si was my favorite to win this one, phenominal power! I wish Oscar Puyol from GCN Espanol would have joined coz that guy is super powerful too! Love these videos, keep them coming.
#GCN "Si-riously" impressive! The Plant Based Cyclist wins again. I've always been impressed with Si's mental fortitude to push through the pain. Well done!
What did you think of this epic Zwift race? Let us know in the comments 👇
So dan wasn't included because his new e bike has hub bases motor and has a direct drive trainer only😂😂
Well that looked hard well it was poor hank:(
It's insane
Manon is the fastest.
No Auf Deutsch presenters?

It was SI vs 2
Si vs 3
and now
Si vs everyone
What we can conclude is that the Si-borg has unlimited powerlevels
^ ^ ^ This post needs more likes ;-)
😂 If we're not careful the pro peloton will come calling...
YES! How long since anyone called him Siborg? Thoroughly deserved mate!
To make things fair, maybe it should be every other GCN presenter on tt bikes and Si on a BMX.
And he wasn't even on a TT bike.
@@gcn are you kidding they are probably aldready searching for Si's phone numbers
Ollie’s got a $6000 bike and a $10 webcam lol
priorities
And 10 mg internet
@@EddieDBama 10 milligrams of internet? :p
Haha, that was funny!
@@OCloker sorry MBPS...
Manon "Can we do it again", as Hank tries not to be sick🤢. Priceless Manon 😂
LOL, Manon is a subtle troll...
@@schumzy subtle? She was playing on her phone mid race like a boss!
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
@@All4Grogg Well at that point she already snagged the green jersey, so for the rest of the race it was just "don't get dropped"
Hank-"I mean, you've won the national champs! And you come to GCN and your form goes to S#*T"
🤣😂🤣😂
Connor- "I know Hank" 🤣🤣🤣
But then Hank loses to him
🤣
Manon what a true pro , warming down while everyone else was collapsing at the end
Hank and Conor tired dead on the floor.
Si on the bike: yeah, that was hard enough :)
Came to post this... leaving satisfied. Well done, Simon!
Props to Si on his win but for me seeing Manon sitting up and texting while racing was something else!
Si's power to weight goes up throughout the race from all the sweating. It's his superpower.
Wait, I must remember that... The way I sweat ... 🤣🤣
Si needs the GCN champion stripes now!
Respect to Si. My favorite gcn presenter
This was absolutely brilliant and very watchable. I can't believe you pulled off the commentary with such a prestigious commentator from the Tour de France who really made this production that bit more special.
Si was holding 5 watts per kelo for SOOO LONG!!!! The man is a monster, holy sh*t. #Bigdoggottaeat

Very entertaining and congrats Si. A beastly finish. Manon hitting 13.4 w/kg in the sprint was also quite impressive.
Everyone: Out of breath after the race
Manon:
Never mind Manon's and Oli's training plan videos, we need Si's training plan. When is he going to tell us the secrets to his new level of fitness?
I agree, he's been doing his thing...
Hooning it up Belmont Hill over and over to try and get the KOM back?
Genetics. Plus he still trains hard

Si is a beast! but kudos to all the presenters. i wonder if a video opportunity would be an explanation on what tactics people could use when Zwift racing? you guys would mention some strategies you were using but us non racers would like to learn more!
More Zwift races!
more presenter race videos please. they're heaps fun to watch.
Si has been in great form! Great race GCN 👊
Hank: *Pukes*
Also Hank: I enjoyed every minute of that!
8:13 Manon completely unbothered & texting after her sprint victory was done & dusted 😂😂😂😂

Jeremy Powers, where were you, man?! No USA rep? Breakin' my heart here.
I'm pretty sure JPow is just riding for fun these days, so much less time consuming.
Yeah, was thinking the same thing. Would be cool to see "The Colonies" bring the smack down and take the overall trophy, FTW! 🤣
Agree a short Zwift race is more like a CX crit. JPow could hang!
Would have loved to see Jeremy included!
JPow could have narrated AND won the race had he entered. He'd even discuss the merits of front tire choice and pressure at the start line. :-)
Si on a winning streak. Well done mate. You’re invincible! Great effort by all presenters going all out. This should be an annual race
"I've done my training over the weekend" What???? Weekend??? Connor? Are you listening to yourself?
Seemed to have worked out though.
And it might very well have been a joke, as he always says he's done his training and then attaches an unusually small timeframe.
I just love it when Hank says "GCN auf Deutsch"
Rob Hatch is just an incredible commentator. Well done everyone.
Already in the first minute of the video I was talking to myself like "Si's gonna smash 'em" and yeah, I was right 😆. Congrats Si, you're my favourite presenter since I started following GCN some five or six years ago.
Hank and Connor absolutely dying at the end, while Si still has a big smile
Awesome race, full gas!! Si's pain face would rival Aru and Hugh Carthy for beauty 🤣
Still doesn't compare to Lasty
@@bluesman4894 Lasty has the best pain face evar!
Have yet to watch the video but im voting for my Si!
I read the title and was like “What's the point if Si is competing?"
@@jantoman2279 hahaha Si is a machine! A Si-borg!
Hatch's voice is so calming. I needed this today
Si all the way with a side order of Manon. Epic! Had to watch it with subtitles... hilarious!
Si is such a hero. Gets so much stick about his age but he's winning every competition going at the minute.
Thanks boys and girl, we really enjoyed it. What an effort! I wish Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy (and Healthhy, full of rides) New Year!
LOL - amazing how a bit of competition makes you put it hard…great stuff GCN.👍🏻.
This was great fun to watch. Full respect to Simon; after taking this and the TT vs bunch ride challenges that’s a lot of bragging rights earned!
Super Awesome! I loved this. The announcer was fantastic too! Great Job everyone and Congrats Si. The teamwork was fantastic and really cool to watch. Congrats to the English Speaking Team! Thanks all for this great video/race.
Thanks Tim we enjoyed racing our GCN family for this one
Absolutely awesome. You guys went so deep... can’t wait for the next one. 👍🏻😀
Great entertainment! Love how a) Manon could relax and send a few texts after her prime win and b) the elevator music thrown in during those shots. Kudos to the riders and to the production team for putting on a great show.
Agreed, that was a really nice touch.
Guys that was awesome!! I would love to see this become a regular (quarterly?) thing with GCN teams from around the world!
My fav presenter won. Si and Dan were always a brilliant combo, Manon and Conor tbf also pretty brilliant latterly.
Si does always say that he just can't let the competitive edge go. Chapeau my man, ace ride.
Fair play Conor, you've done the Ivory Coast proud. There won't be a cow milked in Yamoussoukro tonight!
Well done Doi-chan and Matsumura-san from GCN Japan!
I was hoping that Hank and Connor would win this time! I mean Hank is a Beast and Connor is a Champion for gods sake 😂 But the Siborg did his thing again! Great job dude!! You are always my favorite presenter with close second Hank and Connor!
In last challenge and in this challenge, Si just smoked them, What a beast. Seriously How fit are you Si.
2020, year of the Si!! Always a blast seeing everyone destroyed after the race :D
Lol Manon texting as Si destroys himself killed me! 😂 Terrific content as always. Merry Christmas GCN crew!
Simon all the way. Congrats!! No surprise after his performance on the recent swift race challenge.
He's been doing a lot of secret training!
Well done Si holding on to that huge effort. Well deserved win. Hank and Connor trying not to puke Si looking well pleased & Manon can we do that again....brilliant!
Just watched fantastic effort from all great to watch
ALL WINNERS .........
Si's wall showing how much sweat has evaporated into the air, looks like serious damp. Definitely see how he won!
Even tho Ollie has the least chance to win, I'm still cheering for him. He's still the winner in my heart
when they are trolling Ollie is like they are trolling all (the non-pros) of us
Super nice! The commentator is the same as the commentator in TDF, Giro, Vuelta!
The 3v1 and now the presenter WC as well :O Good job Si!
this is the first time that flags on zwift have ever actually come in useful😂
Brilliant race, fun to watch.
Congrats Si! Amazing effort!
Maybe you should do one with GCN members as well? That would be even more entertaining for us 😃
Cheers guys!
Si does it again, what a legend! Bravo!
Si must have been on his aero TT bike! Merry Christmas and thanks for the videos this year.
Happy holidays! Thanks for your support!
Absolutely awesome effort from everyone and well done Si for coming first but you’re all winners in my book 👊🏾
Great video... congrats Si .... and all the riders, love to see some suffering!
Yeah, a lot of pain faces 😂😎

I dont know what training Si has been doing but he's been killing it lately!!
Who said winter is a dull time for cycling? Thankful for Zwift being here over these winter months, so much fun!
8:09 Haha! That's often me when I realise it's approaching midnight and I'm about to lose my Duolingo streak...
In a country like England with the world's worst weather, Zwift is a Godsend.
well done Si! Well done whole GCN Tea.. but I though that Oli is GCN secret weapon hahaha
That was great fun, looking for other annual gcn championships!
Well done again Mr Richardson! Another boost for us oldies
I'm exhausted watching Manon sprint lmao what a talent
Enjoyed your efforts GCN, do keep up the fun works along with your more informative works.
4:30 Manon hitting 13.4w/kg!
And this is 1+ years after retiring from pro track racing, track sprinter power to weight is crazy
Absolutely excellent guy, that's GCN, you guys are all awesome, well done, really enjoyed that. Keep it going, you are all brilliant. Stay safe.
Rob Hatch is the man. More of him on GCN, please.
Looks like Conor moved to the Ivory Coast at 10:46... 🇮🇪 -> 🇨🇮
Two firsts for GCN this year. The first BMX video after waiting to 7 years. Si's first presenter win after waiting for 8 years. At least Si doesn't need to go in for a respray like last year.
"I've done my training over the week." lol
Loved watching this bit of fun. Didn't realize the GCN team had grown so much!
Yes SIMON !!!! :D Fav presenter. Best rider.
When you can I would love a cross series. Gcn does we epic rides with the Japanese crew in Japan!

Is Si vegan? Didn't know that.
No, he lives in a greenhouse at his local garden centre.
That was very entertaining. I want to watch more races like this!!
5 minutes in and I love it already! You are all wonderful! :))))))
I can't wait to next week's GCN show - Si will be unbearable 😉
Just catching up with this video now, this is priceless, gimme more hahaha :)
Congrats to Si! but if Sebastian Haedo had a team it would be a different story. Vamos Argentina!
GOD I love Manon’s type 2 fun!!! You go girl!
a very exciting race to watch. Happy Holidays to all of you there on GCN! watching from the Philippines.
