Two brilliant women cyclists on International Women's Day. Way to go GCN! So happy Emma is on the team!
An excellent video for International Women's Day, well done!
This is the most British thing ever on GCN. Two British champions with different British accents, having tea, in the Houses of frigging Parliament. Good show!
'twas pretty British eh?
Emma sounds super nervous! Must be a fan :D
"It's now time for cycling shorts"
Good thing I looked at the comment section before posting the same observation. It has to be her, no?
It's now time for cycling shorts
I so hope you managed to record another, "It's now time for cycling shorts" VT from Lizzie. Great content as always. Really refreshing to see more of women's cycling on GCN
Really glad you're liking it Paul, plenty more to come!
Good to do these interviews, that was quite an insight. Been a fan of Lizzie since she, Jo and Katie came to our tt course one evening for a warm down session in 2008. No one wanted to go before them for the risk of being beaten. Was an eye opener on my first time trial and fun for us all. Well done for the amazing performances, big inspiration.
Excellent to have such an amazing female cyclist on the channel!! Great viewing!
Thanks Thomas, glad you like it!
I was thinking the same thing =P
Love these two ladies. What a great video for international women's day. Really glad to see Emma hit the ground running with her GCN career.
Thanks BadTanLines, really glad you liked it!
Does this mean we get a new cycling shorts intro from Lizzie?
Emma's smile is heart warming.
Huge fan of Lizzie, watched her amazing win in Harrogate at the Tour de Yorkshire last year, I'll never forget it. Great interview!
Emma you're soooooo modest. You're a phenomenal athlete with a proven track record yet are always so self deprecating.
...and so immensely polite!
I really enjoyed the interview. Two great people/athletes/inspirations talking about the Cervelo Test Team too. A real treat.
So glad you enjoyed the video John
"A bloody good race." Priceless.
Great interview from two strong women. Perfect for today.
Well done Emma - another corker! It looks like you need a GCN hoodie with rainbow band lettering.
new nickname? Emma "Thank You" Pooley.
Loved that!, well done Emma and we love Lizzie!, gonna dig out the 2012 Olympics Road race and see you both take on the world!......Rob & Nicki
Can we see a core training video from Emma? So excited to have her as a GCN presenter!
Watch this space Marnie...
Great interview. Emma could have her own channel on GCN doing interviews like this with riders from the woman’s pro tour.... and the men’s!!
Great interview. I’m in the middle of reading Lizzie’s book so excellent timing for me. I hope we hear from a lot more women riders on GCN.
Great job Emma and Lizzie! I want to see interview with Puck Moonen 😍
Two of the greatest bike racers of all time at one table talking--mind blowing. Just curious, what were the cups for?
Yea, running! Great supplement. So easy to put on shoes and head out the door.
@global triathlon network will be glad to hear this!
So happy to have had one of my questions posed to Lizzie. Such an awesome video. Please interview Laura Kenny or Mark Cavendish! GCN rocks as does Emma!!!!
James Kendrick thanks for getting involved!
Me of course :) Why not Jolanda Neff or Jenny Rissveds. They are great for their sport.
Lizzie Armitstead forever !!!
Emma you're great to watch.
Well done, Great interview.
Excellent interview. Emma slow down on the caffeine intake.
Yeah, you're already too energetic!
That's funny. Matt's core sessions are a bit too easy. :-) /sizzle/
Good questions and answers, thanks Emma and Lizzie, but I was hoping to hear Lizzie's reaction to these blokes introducing Cycling Shorts.
will putting a split nose saddle on a road bike remove sore balls ? if not, what saddles are recommended to eliminate sore balls or so lessen it?
I had terrible numbness in my balls and was really worried as I'd read that that is also applying sustained pressure to the blood vessel supplying my wanger! I bought the Selle Italia Max Flite Gelflow for about £80. I can do hours without any numbness now. It's an amazing difference.
Great, thanks!
Ovo women's tour is defo worth watching/following if ya get chance, great interview by the way thank you very much for the putting it together
It certainly is, thanks for commenting!
ow does a modern shimano sora compare to an old 9-speed dura ace? #torqueback
Emma is an awesome interviewer! But, where is Matt?
How do you taper before a race and are there any golden rules surrounding it?
That was like one whole episode of rapid fire round. See lads? It can be done.
"Great, thank you!"
Two of the coolest cyclists!...Emma great job...please do more interviewing with Women Pro Cyclists...
We think so, thanks for the comment Richard
GCN video filmed in a pub, whith no beers but two cups of tea on the table...That's so strange !
Not quite, they were in the Houses of Parliament in London!
Global Cycling Network it depends on how you define a pub: Somewhere that serves alcohol. Or the home of alcoholic reprobates... :-)
Makes a change for people to actually be doing some real work in the HoP :D
How much slower are you be going on a CX bike frame than on a road bike frame? (Same weight, output, component, wheel. I heard geometry affects speed.) #torqueback
#torqueback When you are between frame sizes, say a 54 and 56cm, is it generally better to go with the smaller or larger size? Which will give you greater adjustability so you can get the best fit and performance?
Hi Craig, we would recommend going to your local bike shop and getting a bike fit to make sure you get the best size for you
Kudos for GCN including Emma and having more women cyclists on air, so lookimg forward to more gender-diverse content!
Stay tuned!
#torqueback Love the show and new derivations. With a teenage daughter potentially migrating from Biathle to Triathlon what are the pros and cons of bike set up for youths/ women? "Slammed" looks less a priority for women's bikes - a new focus area with Emma on-board?
#torqueback I've seen a couple of videos talking about "simultaneously" shifting both the front and rear derailleur when switching between the big and small rings, but I find that doing so drops my chain. What's the correct shifting technique for switching between rings?
Is this that the cycling shorts girl?
There was a gcn show that asked pros about fixed gear bikes. I can’t find that. Anyone remember the date on that one.
#TORQUEBACK.I think GCN should make a new presenter challenge with a sprint challenge.Cheers.
Hi Guys and Gal, Can you do a segment on a typical pro cyclist's blood test levels? For example Hemoglobin, testosterone, Hgb, cholesterol, etc?
Hey Will, thanks for the suggestion, we will see what we can do
Thank you very much :)
You're welcome Louis
WAs that Dan Lloyd sending in that question about the cervelotestteam ??? Is Emma a vegetarian as well ?
Wow! I didn't realize the "cycling shorts" woman was a professional female cyclist. That's pretty awesome!
Yep, she's the British National Champ and former World Champ, pretty cool eh?
You should watch more women's races!
Global Cycling Network yes it is! I'm gonna watch the women's races now. That's cool.
philip n I will now, for sure
To bad the audio has so much background. Production should be smarter about location.
I am not sure in the Houses of Parliament there was much choice. In any case, it gives a nice sense of a 'buzz' of people nearby/
I had recovered from gasentetris a couple days ago, it hurt like hell
8:10 oooooooooh burn 🔥
#TorqueBack
Hi I'm cycling for about 1 year and half and I feel like I'm not improving. I did a 1 hour ride and sustaining the speed that I can maintain for 1 hour. Based on Strava my avg watts is 162. How can I improve a lot? And also how can I train for FPT without using a power meter.
Ps: I'm a weekend warrior strava boy. I do cycle for 3-4 days but only during vacations.
Super
#TorqueBack Can a fast climber be a fast sprinter? You would think that if you're fast up hill, you would be faster on the flat.
Those earrings!! :D
Hey, Lizzie and Emma, are you sure this "Ben Moore" guy isn't Dan Lloyd? 🤔
mmm, whereabouts?
Legends.
#torqueback when’s Tom Last back?!
👍👍👍
Wot a couple of cool Women. Emma could you interview Netti Edmondson another great cyclist .
Great shout!
😍
Perhaps for equal money they can cycle equal distances and equal times!
First gcn vid with only women!
Ugh ... too much background noise in second half. Don't use location where you can't control the background noise.
You think being a vegetarian is hard.. try having to be gluten-free or even dairy free! There’s more vegan options than gluten-free and they do it by choice!
Damn Emma lay off so much Coffee..
Sounds to me like Lizzie Deignan needs to junk the dairy & eggs
bacon
Second
With the announcement that the prize fund for the women’s tour will be the same as the men’s tour should the the women do the same distance on each stage as the men?
Hardly equality if the men have to race further to get the same prize money!
Emma Pooley totally agree. There are plenty of other sports where men and women compete over the same distance such as running (women don’t run a shorter marathon) so why not cycling. Come on UCI.
I can understand the anger if women were racing the same distance as men and the prize fund was less but if they are riding shorter distances should the prize fund be the same?
But men are physically stronger, of course they ride further. Why not have the under 16s racing the seniors on the same course. What your saying is that because they are female, they should be paid less!!! You probably dont realise just how sexist you are, Jeees, I thought this was the 21st century
bon voyage physical strength has nothing to do with it, it is about parity. As mentioned in the comments above from Emma and myself there are other sports where men and women cover the same distance regardless of whether men are perceived to be physically stronger. A marathon is the same distance for men and women. The distances covered in an ironman event are the same for men and women so why should cycling be different?
Should a youth rider ride the same course as a senior? No. Should the winner of the youth event that rides 25 miles get the same prize money as the rider of the senior event that rides 80miles? No. Therefore why should the stage winners of the women's tour get the same prize money as the stage winners in the men's tour when the men have raced a greater distance? Remove the gender focus and say it is a junior tour and a senior tour where the juniors ride shorter stages but get the same prize money as the seniors. Is that fair?
I'm all in favour of women getting the same prize money as the men but I feel that they should ride the same distances for it. Is that really sexist or just looking for equality - something that women have fought for for years. It is the 21st century after all.
Eggs are meat as is all dairy. #torture
Do vegetarians eat eggs? I guess so.
Vegetarians do but Vegans do not eat dairy products!
Bungle2010 Pro tip: those brown, steaming things are not cow eggs and should not be eaten by anyone, vegan or otherwise.
Lizzie, drop the vegetarian and go plants only. See if that settles things.
Compassion Six good suggestion. However, my Dad is strictly vegan (has been for years) and is an avid runner. He just developed stomach issues at age 68. No known causes. He’s retired from a career in medicine as well. Worth trying adjusting diet, but sometimes things just happen.
Doesn’t cure all, but it gives you the odds
First
Once again, #notificationgang
Like c mon who really enjoys women cycling? Dont need that amount of coverage. And its not competitive at all
We're going to be making sure our coverage of cycling is as complete as possible, so we'll be making more videos like this one with top, world-class athletes.
Global Cycling Network Thats a great point of view. and Im not trying to sound antifeministic, but there is something more about mens sports, sooo thats that. peace
I do.
