    This twist on the GCN Presenter Challenge sees the boys split up into 2 teams to take on 2 challenges. Successfully assemble a bike, then ride it as fast as possible, relay-style, up the fearsome mountain of Sa Calobra on the island of Mallorca. Who can stay cool under pressure while pushing themselves to the absolute limit?

    when they tell Dan to put the pump between his legs, was the funniest thing ever on GCN. I thought this was supposed to be a family show.

      @budesmatpicu3992 7 років тому +11

      now GCN vs GMBN - road+mtb (with assembling, obviously). Include huge jumps on mtb so that roadies lose minutes navigating around, and have to make it up uphill (assuming they should be much better uphill).

    Matt, eyes the saddle. He sees the mark of a great champion.. but he still sits on it..and that's dedication.

    @loopie007 7 років тому +1

    It's the first time I think we have ever seen the GCN camera bike. For some reason I expected more. Maybe a trike with a camera platform and more lights to warn drivers about the film stars passing through. Excellent video. Can't believe SI didn't do the bike build as he does most of the GCN tech videos.
