A Day In The Life Of A Pro Cyclist with AG2R La Mondiale

What happens in a typical day in the life of a Professional Cyclist? How much do they train? What do they do when they train? What do they eat? When do they eat it? Seeing the pros racing throughout the season certainly looks tough but what goes on behind the scenes to get them to that point? Mavic invited Ollie out to Spain to join Team AG2R La Mondiale and spend a day looking into the life of a Pro Cyclist.

I love when Ollie presents, and does not take himself too seriously. Fun to watch.

[HybrisParExcellence]

Training ride: 160km and 4000m of climbing, sounds like a near death experience to me! #PrayForOllie

[Mububban]

Realistically, a rider like Oli would tear the legs off most of us casual GCN viewers. To watch him getting flogged by the pros really makes it clear just how wide the gulf is between a talented dedicated fit amateur, and a true pro athlete. 160km/4000m and they looked so casual at the rest stop, whereas most of us would be gasping and calling for an ambulance!!! Pro cycling is a brutal sport.

Let's hope Oliver can snatch a win this season. He's had so many close calls and deserves something.

[chrisjenkins]

Do you know what. I think GCN is one of the best things to happen to cycling.

Poor Ollie left to eat all on his own. Takes me back to my school days.

[gmac]

I take my casquette off to you Oli. It was very noble of you to stop when you did. It would be a poor etiquette to leave the pros behind on that climb! 🤣

[phynex]

Ollie wasnt coming from pro background but able to cling with pro for 3 hours with that route, I’m just impressed.

[brucelangsteiner]

So impressive! Ollie even staying with them for that long is awesome!

[chencho]

Cycling is awesome, either if you are a pro, a presenter or amateur or a weekend warrior...

[dmacrasur]

Fact is ollie is a darn good cyclist (and funny as heck)... Makes U realize how good they are.

[someonestupid]

I know what it's like to be overshadowed by pro cyclists... Me and my buddy were suffering on a steep climb, we were panting hard, then our local cycling group passed us, making it look like they were riding on the flat

[TWROC]

Well done Ollie. You hung in with the pros a fair amount of time. Your training is paying off.

[trevorharrison]

Ollie is just the best at the self deprecating looks and comments. His videos always make me smile. He reminds us - if we actually need to be reminded - that pros are at another level in every aspect and does so with good information and humor. Thanks Ollie

[terry.hudson]

Ollie you've got a great ability to tackle something serious, with humour 😄

[abcd]

What a funny guy! Hope he finally wins a classic this season!

[speiche]

I love Cyclists! I visit Mallorca each Year to see thousands of Cyclists! Its Fascination!

[leedorney]

Olly is very funny yet gets the point across 👌

[EddieDBama]

Great job Ollie. I'm glad you were taking it easy on the boys from AG2R, it wouldn't be good for them heading into the season knowing that a GCN presenter was dogging them on the climbs. Good job by you!

[sabastanknight]

Oliver your the man doing that training cuz as i remember your not a former pro which makes me respect your efforts much more. Good luck on the track challenge
