5 Vs 1 | How Many Roadies Does It Take To Beat A Time Trial Bike? This Is Getting Ridiculous...

You've probably wondered how many fast road cyclists it takes to beat one aerodynamic time trialist, and frankly, this is getting ridiculous. After the embarrassing defeat for the road bike in '4 vs 1' which saw Ollie dropped and unable to contribute to the group, it was time for the boys to call in a professional....

Did the result surprise you? Should we get two people on time trial bikes for our next experiment?

Ollie getting dropped twice by pro and ex pro cyclists, while funny for the viewers, is expected. Well done to Ollie for being the best sport, and participating despite the expected drop and following jokes, for the good of the channel. He might not have the biggest stats, but he’s got the biggest heart of them all.

The more I think about these videos, the more respect I have for Ollie. As others point out, he alone among the presenters is not a former pro and is in over his head. He knows this and stood up anyway. Even taking all the grief he got on the 4v1 video, he stood up again. While I've given him grief over the years, he does have my respect for participating knowing he was in for another ration of grief. Congrats Ollie!

Next series... What does it take for Ollie to not get dropped 😂

[cyklistamator]

Kudos to Ollie for showing up for it. He really doesn’t take himself to seriously. Team player! I admire that attitude. Respect Ollie!

[JonathanMallett]

Manon's disappointed head shake and shutting the window on Ollie made this video!

[tallulahbeaverhausen]

How polite of Si to go slightly slower this time to let his fellow presenters have the illusion to win.

[benjaminelkins-green]

I live here in Acton Turville and you're really making it hard to get the local koms!

[gregdoucette]

The bike should be even quicker than last time love it.

[davehollingworth]

Manon putting the window up on Ollie was priceless! Well done GCN, great stuff all round. Thanks 🙏

[jaimedebrum]

Ollie’s Numbers are pretty good! Most people here would be demolished by him... this serves well to understand the diference for the pros and ex-pros! They are absolute beasts

[finallyonethatworks]

I haven't been this excited for a sequel since the third Lord of the Rings!!!

[RockinHorea]

My favorite was Ollie representing us plebs! The fact that he's a lot faster than me just puts into perspective how crazy the performance we see from the pros is.... And from the Siborg 😲

[fixieebro]

This and the First Epic Ride video are so much fun! GCN is in a groove- presenters are doing an amazing job in their roles. Manon as the DS was genius.

[nathanmclain]

It was a gut punch everytime that Ollie got dropped. We need a "Ollie training program to not get dropped" series now.

[judeavillarosa]

Its 4 and a half.

Edit: Sorry Ollie, you're still my favorite presenter.

[evanmacdougall]

When I saw this video in my feed I clicked on it immediately. And I was NOT disappointed! Fantastic series! Can't wait for more. There are so many great ideas already posted, already. Like Ollie on a TT bike and Si on a road bike. Can't wait to see what the GCN team cooks up next.

[jackhammerk_]

To be fair to Ollie, he's the only one in that group who isn't or never has been a pro...

[LovetheIPAs]

This series has been a blast - edge of the seat tension each race. Congrats to the Fab Five (4.5?) and chapeau to Si for making the series truly competitive. Manon, your humor in this video is priceless!

[ClemensAlive]

5:11 that's harsh Manon! :'D
