@@zambokid89 The difference between tubeless and clincher/latex is minimal but latex tubes don't offer the same puncture protection.

I’d love to ride a TT bike. But they’re just way more expensive than road bikes. A good road bike itself is already expensive. Also if you’re going to ride TT. It’s mandatory that you must look the part for aero gains. Which means you need a skin suit and a TT helmet. Which also don’t comes cheap. Don’t even get started with optimizing your TT bike with marginal gain upgrades. A new carbon wheel set could easily cost as much as a new bike.

@@iMadrid11 What you have said is incorrect Chris. You don't need a TT bike. You can do one on a normal road bike. You are testing yourself, not trying to win the race. Wear a tight fitting top and that will gain you more aero advantage than a TT bike. You can also buy some cheap aero bars (Triathlon bars) that will fit onto the cross bar of a road bike. Loads on ebay for less than £50. If you get the bug you can upgrade in the years to come. I would say 80% of people do their first TT's either on road bikes or a road bike with bolt on aero bars.

This is amazing... Seeing Ollie out of character and being sensible! Manon could've saved 20 watts if she didn't burn so many calories putting her sun glasses on and off 600 times before starting the race.

I love the GTN and GCN collaboration. I'm not a triathlete, so I only got introduced to Heather of GTN when Manon challenged her to Cyclist vs Runner calorie challenge a few months ago. So, I've been binge-watching Heather GTN videos. About 2 years ago there was a GTN 15 Minute HIIT workout with Heather and Hank. So, you want to watch Hank suffer, watch this video. At one point Heather says: "..3-2-1. Go to the end. Unlike James. We don't want any slackers...". Poor Hank, she literally killed him. By the way, I'm subscribed to GCN+ just to see Hank suffer more. I am not disappointed!!!

The rematch should be on Manon speciality track sprinting. If the triatholete had things her way on the first event then it's only fair to reverse things in the rematch.

Wow...fun to watch. Well done ladies.

Liked it a lot. You definitely need more women at GCN, GTN, G-alltheother channel’s. Don’t get me wrong the whole team is great 😉.

Heather's mind: "If I do this, then the numbers will do that. If I change this, then I should gain this number of Watts." Manon's mind: "Alright, let's hammer down on these pedals and teach my treasonous colleague a lesson!"

They're so good. Great contest.

Since air resistance increases with the square of the speed, I guess another option would be a fast linear long course with a slight downhill slope. A longer course and tri-suit may do the trick though.

Way to represent GCN Manon! Well done!

One thing that stood out to me was Heather's cadence looked quite low. TT's on flats are about endurance so recruiting type II fibers would help stave off fatigue. Then again, some people get by with low cadence but maybe try some speed skills workouts to see if it helps add some watts.

So Manon can beat the TT bike, but somehow Simon Richardson is invincible on one? The next GCN challenge is obvious.
