They've all been pros apart from Ollie.

Really? I had no idea, except for Dan but he's quite obvious with all the ribbing he gets for mentioning Cervelo Test Team a little too often.

I don't really watch them much mind you, I had a little phase of maybe two months a few years back, and I watch their tech / how to clips now and then.

Used to watch them , but the shows are just one huge blatant advert nowerdays, Matt , Si and Dan were the best of the bunch.
This, I liked it more when it was low budget guys having a bit of fun. I think it has lost it’s way quite a bit, although I have not watched anything this year.

Got to be Jon as he’s a retro enthusiast. Here he is describing the build on his amazing Eddy Merckx 1990. WARNING: This is pure vintage bike porn so have a hanky ready:

I sort of like it but it's a weird restomod with modern grey drivetrain and those brakes from a much earlier era. It's a bit of a mess, and less than the sum of its parts.

I kept my Strada OS as a 7-speed (and yes, you can get STI levers) with shiny alloy bits throughout. Mine seems to have an internal guide for the rear brake cable (and all the chrome). Same size and weight though.

Si all the way.... Manon is lovely but she 0would never get a job as a presenter outside of this niche. She has a good comedy on screen rapport with Hank (I think).

Manon is getting better, was too careful of her speech initially and now more fluent. Tend to watch the weekly news show to pass around half a hour of pedalling nowhere on the indoor trainer. Currently seems to be a near constant change of presenter pairings on it each week
GCN is owned by Play Sports Network of which Discovery Communications (who own Eurosport) now have a controlling interest and which presumably explains Dan Lloyds appearances on Eurosport and Eurosport presenters appearing on GCN racing coverage.

Used to watch gcn religiously, but it has become a bit stale. Recently found francis cade's channel and am too busy going through his vids to deal with gcn atm. My fave gcn presenter was Matt, he is on sigma sport's channel now.
