1/4/2016
heard of april fools ?
+Josh McCaul you two been fooled by brad XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
+Josh McCaul ha ha
+zeppy it was when I got the vid!
This joke is just too much. It's like pretending to dump your girlfriend on the 1st of April.
+stoppsi yea it really makes you FEEL
Rumours also say that there will a new classification and jersey in each of the Grand Tours called the 'Boss' classification, and this will be awarded to Dan Lloyd by default at the end of each stage.
Anyway, congratulations Dan. It's a shame you'll be overshadowing Cavendish in his sprinting duties, but I'm sure he'll make a great lead out man. I really learnt a lot from that video where you taught him how to sprint like a pro.
Keep on bossing,
All the viewers at GCN.
This got me to start with before I remembered it was 1 April - good April fools
africasteam.com/category/latest-news/
yes, it was a good play.
Good one
Oh shit you got me for a sec, one of the best April fools I've seen in a while
I'm so stupid! Of course! April fools... They do April fools across the pond?
+13ottomburp Its tough when you're in Aus and you're 10 hours ahead. By the time I saw it, it was after 12...
Oh yes. They do. I think they invented it! www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2017/apr/01/fake-news-the-best-and-worst-april-fools-day-stories
All the best dude, hope you get back to your best form.
+Cycling Maven Haha I didn't think I'd see you here. You know it's April fools right?
+Cycling Maven Maven!
+Cycling Maven Very nice lads, very nice. You looked so lean too, it was believable.
+Cycling Maven I bought in!
ALMOST HAD ME THERE FOR A SECOND, BOSS.
+TYPE V3 you watch GCN to Vincent?
+Darth KyloRen Of course! When I'm not doing the UA-cam thing, I can be found outside cycling or watching GCN!
+TYPE V3 really That's nice... What's your bike bro?
Some news just in, Bradley Wiggins goes into retirement and works for GCN
Congrats, Dan! I will be rooting HARD for you here in the States, and I'll ride up Sa Colobra with you once a week or so as well. Cheers.
April fooools!!!
Congrats and good luck, hopefully you can keep doing internal videos of the pro peloton. You know like an inside the race.
Nice try, GCN!
Cheers Dan!! Great watching and learning from all at GCN. Can't wait for the Pro Bike of Dan Lloyd with Lasty.
Return of Dan into the pro peloton will truly be a "Cycling Short" ^^
Dan - Congratulation on your decision to rejoin the pro peloton as a member of Dimension Data. I'm sure you will be an asset to your new team and I will be looking forward to seeing you in many breakaways throughout the season. You and the rest of the GCN team have been instrumental in my cycling life and I will miss you on the GCN show. Again best of luck on the pro peloton and keep the rubber side down and the watts high - Good luck!
Will work for beer!
Congratulation sir you truly are a example to anyone who loves cycling.. I don't know you personally but you seem to be a very modest person. We west African cyclist look up to MTN so one day we could bless kids in west africa the same way they are doing it in SA I'm glad now that I can look up to you ... You have our full support.
Hold on a minute!!! What's the date?
Hell Yes!!! Although I will miss your reporting...can't wait to see you on the bike again!! All the luck from the US (Colorado)!!!!!
Is this an April fools prank? If so, it's absolutely brilliant. If not then good luck and please come back to GCN when you retire again
Congrats Dan! Thank you for all of your great spots on GCN. Good luck in the pros (again), can't wait to see you in the pro bike playlist ;)
I really hope this isn't an April Fools prank.
+TheCatAteMyShoe You serious, of course it is
Its not as it was uploaded on the 31st but it dose sound a bit strange
+Bailey Doggett I am telling you it's not impossible (much) but this is definitely a prank
+Bailey Doggett It's April 1st when it was uploaded in the UK.
+Bailey Doggett I'm pretty darn sure that this is a prank haha. Really well done one I have to say. They even have him on the team's latest news section lol.
Good luck Dan! hopefully you will get us some grate footage of life inside the peloton. Oh and when are the interviews for your GCN position?
I just went to dimension datas website and went to see who they have listed on the team and Dan is on there 0_0. Still not sure if this is for real but if it is I'll be cheering for you Dan! :)
That's serious commitment to an April Fool's joke. :D (Good job researching that, btw, I think it proves it's not a joke.)
+EmpyreanLightASMR Thanks man! I agree that that would some serious dedication to the April fools joke so I'm pretty convince he'll be racing for them.
Go DAN! Glad to see you as a part of my favorite team!On a side note: you should write a book or essay (or something) that outlines what you did to get back to the power levels you were at a few years ago. It would not only be interesting, but also very informative and I'm sure a great read!Looking forward to seeing you at GDI, TDF, and/or VDE!
Ha, this was a great April Fools joke. You almost fooled me, especially when you got Adam Foster to film a welcome for you!
It had me till I read this
+Soundtallica in Chains africasteam.com/2015/12/31/dan-lloyd/
I dont think its april fools =/
eyesofNOTHING I think it is. Just think: nobody returns to the pro peleton at Dan's age of 35, even Contador and Cancellara are retiring around this age. Especially since Dan's not an elite rider. Since Adam Foster was in on this prank, I think the entire Dimension Data team was in on it as well, hence what we see on the website. All just a very elaborate prank haha.
Soundtallica in Chains naaaaahh...
you might be right I went to the race classics website and didnt find him on the roster for the race. bp.pro.p.assets.flandersclassics.be/files/1519/original/De%20Brabantse%20Pijl%20Start%20List%2025032016.pdf?1458937647
Hey Dan, you and the show are absolutely great! Huge fan - now a supporter of Dimension Data team. Look forward to seeing you in the peloton!! Best of luck, mate!
If its a prank, you guys got me. If its not, good luck Dan!!!
Congratulations Dan. Chapeau. It's been great being entertained and informed by you and your other GCN presenters, and I now look forward to seeing you on the road in the peloton.
Of course it's April Fools... A dead giveaway since Dimension Data doesn't have any hair product sponsors.
Well done Mr. Lloyd, I hope to see the videos in which GCN presents your new bike as well as questions that you used to ask at the start line. Good luck with your racing !
there is literally no way dan is actually going to back to pro cycling he is too old clearly an Aprils fools joke
Lol i believed him as well
+Önümüzdeki 4 kapı africasteam.com/category/riders/page/2/
Yes me too!! I'm 56 years old, been riding for 5 years long and only 20 pounds over weight. VO2 Max is a tad under my age :-)
I hope this is april fools isn't dan like 70 years old
He's 74 this June.
He's 35
April Fools 👍
If this is true....WAY TO GO! Good luck and I hope you'll return to GCN afterwards.
Bonne chance pour ton retour dans le peloton pro Dan! J'espère te voir sur le Tour de France
hope you got a free bike and kit for your April fools promo!!!!
we will be here wainting for you! good luck!
Dan, best wishes to you. One note; the secret to doubling your power numbers is shaving off that 9 lb beard.
Best of health Dan. Thanks for making GCN an awesome cycling channel.
Imagine if this was not an April Fools, Dan would probably feel a bit upset that everyone presumed it was a prank
good luck dan all the best looks like there might have to be a new pro bike made sometime this year. hope to still see you about on the channel
this has to be the most elaborate prank going ................
I've loved watching you Dan. It's especially wonderful knowing someone so ridiculously hilarious will be illuminating the peloton again. Best of luck and cheers!
Rumor has it that Dan will also be replacing Mark Cavendish as he outsprint him on a recent video.
+zefs I heard that 2 mate
Congrats Dan! Look forward to seeing you in the peloton. Good luck with the team!
It was still before april 1st in america when I watched this. Thought it was real. LOL
africasteam.com/category/latest-news/
so... maybe it's real? That's a wholly humorless news post. If it's real, congrats Dan.
What a nice date for this announcement
Are you sure, because that looks alot like matt bramiers bike
wow awesome, congrats Dan. Loved the last 3 years with you and GCN. cant wait to see you pulling the peleton along before dnfing some of the worlds greatest races. love marce
Published on Mar 31, 2016
you better not be april fooling
top stuff - I live 6 miles from DD HQ in California and when I asked them at the reception they confirmed that Dan Lloyd has in fact asked for a complete dressing room of his own and his own hair stylist - strange that
The joke might be that this isn't a joke.
All the best in your upcoming races hope to see you upfront in the pelaton. Cheers!!
So you gonna be leadout for Cav? Haha
Congratulations Dan!!!! Looks like the many reminders of you being on the Cervelo Test Team has finally paid off ;-) Looking forward to rooting for you on the TV, all the best and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
it fucked up that you're old and this is a joke bc you do look good in that kit
+Johnny Hanel I doubt it. it was posted before today. Also, they would hardly give him the new rotor groupset for a prank
+Seán O'Reilly It's April the 1st...
It says it was posted on the 31st
Gullibility is a failure of social intelligence in which a person is easily tricked or manipulated into an ill-advised course of action. It is closely related to credulity, which is the tendency to believe unlikely propositions that are unsupported by evidence.
Wish you the best for your new career venture. Don't forget to come in to give us inside info on some big races that you participate in.
I wish this was real
the best of luck to you and stay safe !!!
APRIL FOOLS LMAO
Best of luck Dan! God bless and kick some butt out there.
Nearly got me, then I remembered, Dan is old as f*#k!
Good luck Dan! I look forward to watching you race.
Ohhh NO! I like Danial Llyod as a presenter. He and Matt Stevens are the best. Lately GCN has been having a lot more of Simon Richardson and personally I think he is not that great. I guess I am just being selfish. Ultimately this is probably good for Dan.
1/4/2016
+etobiCRACKscorpions I have to disagree about Simon Richardson - he is very good and nice to listen to and I enjoy his howto videos combined with his personal opinions. Will be missing "The Boss".
+etobiCRACKscorpions Simon is great he might even be my favorite GCN presenter !
+etobiCRACKscorpions ever heard of april fools ?
+Alistair Lloyds This news is also posted on the Dimension data website and twitter. Would have to be a pretty elaborate April fools joke if that were the case and I doubt that it is.
I'm happy to hear this as, as if it was one of my friends getting signed on! Your work with GCN is greatly appreciated, and I hope through social media, you can elevate Qhubeka to greater heights! All the best mate
Publishing April Fools videos on the 31st is extremely bad luck. Naughty.
It's the 1st in the UK
+iCappyzGaming I'm in the Uk ... but the video was clearly posted on the 31st from the UK
Crap, is this a joke? LOL
Good luck Lloydy, it's been fun watching your videos on GCN. Hope to see you as a guest on here again soon.
The piano on the background made me sad.
Congratulations Dan! We will all miss you and your fabulous hair. You can never be replaced and whoever comes onto the show will have some big shoes to fill. give'em hell Boss and hope to see you on the podium.
GG Dan, april fools man
You were a great presenter. Good luck back in the peloton and looking forward seeing you racing.
go vegan
plus one mate. :)
Congratz Dan!!!! I'll be watching you through the peloton!! I'll be expecting some wattagebazookas ! :D
He's lying because he has a beard
realest comment I've seen all year
yep never trust a man or woman for that matter with a beard!
NO WAY!!!!! I'm totally going to watch every race where you'll be participating! Hell yeah mate, so glad for you!
+kunivanu april fools !!
Congratulations @daniellloyd1 and I'll look forward to seeing you on the podium!!!
We will miss you Dan! We had tons of fun those 3 years in GCN. I wish you good luck coming back at the Pro Peloton! #DREAMSCANCOMETRUE
Good luck Dan!!! We will miss you a lot! Hope you come back! (from Portugal)
Congratulations on rejoining the pro peloton, Dan. You did a great job for GCN. Hope to see you back with them when you do finally retire.
Back in the pro peloton like a boss. Good luck Dan
As it was posted 31st, not 1st of April as people seem think below. Only thing to say is congrats Dan and good luck but also where do I send my CV for the presenting position? :)
It was posted around 6am, April 1st UK time. Confusingly though the date given below the video is 31st of March, which must be something to do with how UA-cam processes dates internationally.
Congratulations! I'll be especially interested to hear Mr Stephens' commentary whilst you're racing 😀👍🏻
Dan, you can have your pro-spot back when you grow into those slightly baggy looking tights. Your legs I mean, obviously I mean your legs...
Definitely supportive! good luck see you on the roads!
Congrats, I am sure we will see you back on GCN from Time to time, and wish you all the best and have fun being back out there racing,
Cav just couldn't live without the lead out skills that Dan showed in the "How to Sprint Like Mark Cavendish" video.
This is amazing news! Congratulations and all the best luck!
Now you can work on your lead out skills for Mark!
Dan, first item to sort is getting white shorts as the team kit ;)
Congrats!
congratulations Dan!! we'll be following you!!
Thank goodness we no longer have to hear about who Dan used to ride for.... because he's back in the big league! Congrats Dan, we wish you all the best and I'll be cheering for you at every opportunity.
The fact that the mechanical doping video came up as the follow on video seemed approriate!
Best of Luck Dan!! Thanks for all the great videos and advice!!
Congratz Qhubeka! Nice to see charities works both ways and you care for our prensenters.
I'll look forward to Dan's reprise of his role on GCN when he does a thorough review of his Cervelo S5!
Boss Dan! Good Luck to you! Win Tour De France!!
Back to the WorldTour!! Good luck Dan, we'll miss you tons!! Thanks for three years of informative/silly/awesome content :D
#dreamscancometrue
Good luck! Stay in touch via GCN
