Which bit of tech from the Giro would you love to have?

[craigpaterson]

Those BMC's are still the nicest bikes in the world tour this year

[mathijsvdberg]

Can't believe Ollie is so happy with a 'roze koek'

[gueroblanco]

"E-Bike Lube" on the Pinarellos of INEOS ... do we need to worry?

[BMD]

Those SRM units are the gaudiest thing I've ever seen, they look like chinese knockoffs

[bhumiriady]

These tech are beyond super nice, they're hyper nice!

[douglaspate]

Ollie! Love your style; fun, cool and techy! What more could we ask for!!

a Bianchi OltreXR4 with a custom painted eagle which is a nod to his previous life as an eagle

0:52 hahaha :- ) me too. I would break my bike to get one of these Neutral service bikes.

[rudyelizondo]

Fantastic bikes, but really like the BMC one!!!! Awesome design man, can go fast!!!!

4:44 guy rotating the lens hood rather than the lens got me

The nickname Pocket Rocket was first used for Henri Richard of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team in the early 70's. His father Maurice was called Rocket Richard for his speed and power. When his son who was much smaller started playing, he earned the name for his size and speed.
It suits Caleb as well.

Unbelievable, I've seen rim brakes!!! Wow!!!

[jimbrittain]

It would be great for increased attention or an entire episode related to the increasing adoption of custom direct mount rear derailleur hangers that attach to (Dura Ace) rear derailleurs (i.e., EF [Cannondale], Bahrain Merida [Merida], Jumbo Visma [Bianchi], and so on). It would be great to hear why and if there is a way for non-professional teams to do the same through select suppliers.

[adambowery]

The bloke focussing his lens hood at 4:44.... Now that's new tech I want to hear about! Haha

[scottcottontx]

Oh, your caliper is digital? Weird flex but ok, Ollie.

[glennoc]

Nice bars but ive seen then break from a drop which is ok for pros.

[stijngoolaerts]

Hi GCN. Do you know which bike fitting tools Team Dimension Data were using ? You gave us a short view of the tools and toolbox around minute 10 in the video. Thanks a Lot !

RE Neutral Service Bikes - a few years ago i owned a Dahon foldable cycle. It was equipped with QR pedals and I thought the same tech could be used for neutral service bikes, where Shimano/Time/Look/Speedplay pedals could be fitted in seconds when required.

8:22 I really F*$nkg love that great ratio!!!
