GTN Vs GCN: The Rematch | Can Heather Beat Manon In A Bike Race?

Last year, Heather took on Manon from GCN in a cycling race, which she lost - something which she has not forgotten! Earlier this year, they battled again in a duathlon, but now we want to take things back to the start for the big rematch: GTN vs GCN on the bike! Will Heather be able to get the better of Manon this time?

Wonder Woman did it!! Love the.. ‘I’m not that fit’ after doing 90% of an Ironman with no fuel. Go Heather!! Manon.. rocked it too with only a 200k under her belt 😜 💪🏽.

[lawrenceginete]

GCN always does their best to say "expensive bikes doesn't make you faster." while GTN always wants to say "if you're rich you're fast." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[runruntours]

I love the challenges with Manon and the other presenters from GCN! Good job for both of you, girls!

[frankchan]

My friend who rode at national level told me aero tuck position alone gives 3 min advantage over 40 ITT, add in disk wheel, aero helmet and tri suit and overshoes, plus aero tri TT bike, shows less power plus aero translates to faster time of more than 1 min over 10kms.
Great fun video!

[andrewmcalister]

It would be interesting to see both ladies on the same bike set-up as this video, but with Manon picking a road-favourable course with climbing, descending and tight corners.

[andrewmcalister]

Love a good grudge match. Well done Heather and Manon.

[er_matze]

wow - well done both!! I'm hugely impressed how much the aero devices seem to have worked out especially considering that Manon pushed a few more watts!!

[jasonree]

Great to watch, looking forward to Ollies take on how to make Manon faster!

[SBoots]

Got to do what you got to do. bravo to both Manon and Heather. Money on aero is wasted unless you have the fitness to support. I would love the whole set up of Heathers bike, including the bike for my next race but I got to stay with what I can afford and have fun at all times. Loved the video.

[two-eyedRoy]

AYYY Congrats Heather! Cool seeing how much difference of aero when power is pretty similar. I've always been impressed at the avg. speeds Tri reaches compared to TT specific racing considering with Tri there's a race beforehand and after still.

I'd be intrigued for a collab vid of GTN-GCN crew going through the differences in disciplines lets say 2hrs Tri-Road-TT.
So roughly 30min Swim, 2hr Ride, 90min Run Triathlon Vs 2hr Time Trial Vs 2hr Road stage with 1, 000m of up at the end, and what that means in changes for trainings, fuelling, ideal target zones... and so on.

[raywall]

Fantastic race between 2 very competitive athletes and best friends. Heather is looking lean. Looking forward to seeing more great races and challenges 😃

[DiscoStu]

Gotta get Heather an aero suit. Next video: Aero suits, how much difference do they make over 50k ride (at constant pace)?

[KenSmith-bvsi]

See what happens Triathlete wears socks.

[rcuadro]

I feel as though I would need a 10 minute head start to compete with either one of those bad ass ladies

[mikew]

As much as I love watching Mark’s challenges, it is high time James flexed his cycling muscles against Cycling’s Si in some wacky challenge.

[colinb]

I now have something in common with Manon and know how she feels, having seen Heather blast past me at Blenheim when she did the Weekend Warrior.
Well done Heather!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[nicolasdomise]

'Maybe another time' (about switching bikes), YES PLEASE!!!

[jaredjames]

Good ride Manon!! Always enjoy your efforts and great enthusiasm in all your videos, keep making cyclists proud around the world.

[morganhaynes]

It must be noted, Heather, that you are MUCH fitter than the last time. Keep up the awesome content.
