  • GCN’s track expert Manon has invited Blake and Rich from the Global Mountain Bike Network to the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales in Newport to take on the GCN team of her, Alex and Conor. There are three challenges - flying lap, slowest lap and scratch race. How do you think the GMBN boys will fare on alien terrain and who do you think will win the overall challenge?

Seeing how comfortable Alex and Connor are now compared to the first time Manon took them to the velodrome was great and Blake and Richard did amazingly. It shows how a diverse set of experienced, strong and highly skilled cyclists from different disciplines in the sport will adapt and perform in a new setting. More track videos please Manon! 💪👌😊

      I imagine that Manon would have matched or surpassed that back when she was pro, while weighing a lot less. Elite women track sprinters are generally over 1500W. Anna Meares had an 1800W sprint. The men push 2500+.
