biking track racing and
BMXing how are we going to do that is it
even possible well the first thing you

gcn your brand new dedicated cycling
Channel on YouTube and I promise I'll
stop mentioning that soon don't hold me
to that it doesn't matter how long

many other people at the moment or if
you've been an avid fan for your entire
life we've got something here for you

of things right here for you we're going
to be at all of the grand Tours

inside the Pelon every week we're going

and tell you about any of the latest
Sensational news not so long ago I went
along to the change cycling now
conference and got to catch up with Greg
leemon who was not only enthusiastic
about their New Movement but also more
importantly enthusiastic about the
global cycling Network the goal here is
to kind of you know
engage Riders the teams hopefully the
organizers this is a big a big moment
for cycling and it's the ti of change I
also had a quick coffee as SST do with
Jonathan tinan Lo who's had a
sensational year this year the first
ever British winner of the tour of
Britain in its modern for I also asked
him about next year now that he's joined
the biggest team in professional cycling
Sky Pro
cycling I think this year there's more
emphasis on on volume of training and I
think some of that's to cope with you
know the amount of race days I do the
length of races and just to just I think
just to develop your engine so you
recover better in between and you know
when you're backing up stage race after
stage race and I don't think you get
away with 12 hours a week we've also
been lucky enough to catch up with none
other than David Walsh who's just been
voted journalist of the year and sports
journalist of the Year by his colleagues
in the industry he gave us a few moments
of his time among some distinguished
guests some more special than the others
and talked a lot about this man Lance
Armstrong he's been a massive part of
David's Life as a journalist and who
features strongly in his latest book the
seven deadly sins I I have to say I
always felt he was too big to be toppled
if you said to me did you see the end
coming as it came no I didn't I
absolutely
didn't I've just done another turbo
session actually I was one of the
standout moments for me a couple of
weeks ago somebody persuaded
me that I could dress up in this and
that I'd look all right and pull it off
so to speak anyway you can follow along
to the videos too we've got some of some
glamorous ladies in fact two videos for
you on spinning bikes and we've got a
couple of videos with some professional
Riders and some ex-professional Riders
on some turbo
trainers a quick recap then it's called
the global cycling Network gcn it's got
more characters than Twitter all you
need to do is subscribe now it's
absolutely free of charge we're going to
be previewing a lot of the key stages of
all three of the grand Tours you might
have seen me do some of them already
last year it's a great way of seeing
what's going to place you if you decided
to tackle one of those stages or even
the attack dour one thing to consider
for today's stage is it does come after
a rest day sometimes it can be difficult
to tell exactly how your body and your
legs are going to respond whether you're
new to cycling or you simply want to
improve we've got a whole host of how to
do it like a pro tutorial videos
everything from how to pack a bike box
or how to look cool on the bike how to
do a track stand there's something for
everyone here at the global cycling
Network we have got a AAA pass access
all areas we know how important all the
behind the scenes gossip News and Views
is to you and to help us deliver it
we've got the following guys on board oh
and me and now I'm going to bring you
the
news sorry about that I just needed to
change the set quickly so that I can
bring you the latest news from the world
of cycling I've got a few magazines here
some British some American and some from
Europe Europe and I've picked out some
bits which I found interesting the first
of which is the new Shimano Dura Ace 11
speed previously it's been 10 speed
round about the last 6 seven probably
eight years it's not cheap and in fact
at 1,978 G you're going to be paying
around about1 per gram other news this
man has been in it all year and you
continues to be so he's all over the
magazines yeah toor of France winner
Olympic time trial champion and winner
of the BBC sports Personality of the
year and his latest accomplishment is of
course his recent Knighthood hello s
Brad and not forgetting his boss s David
braford he's also in a post spotty
interview said that he wants to not only
win the J Italian next year which we
already knew that defend his tour to
France Crown previously he said he's
going to be working for Chris F who
obviously worked for him so much this
year so it's quite an interesting
development in the Bradley wiggin story
something else which has come up
recently which is not yet yet even in
the magazines which very recent news is
the fact that the tour to France is
coming back to Britain so us Brits are
very excited about that three stages the
first of which is going to be in
Yorkshire and the last of which is going
to be in London finishing on the same
finish actually as the Olympics this
year on the
M even professional cyclists can't
ignore the festive period of Christmas
and New Year and I especially can't
ignore it because I've been given these
stupid props to use in this
film anyway as a belated festive treat
for you we've got a couple of videos
including top 10 New Year's resolutions
and top 10 how to lose weight wonder
what this
is riding can be such a social thing
hooking up with a group will also keep
you
motivated eat more on the bike and less
off it fueling Less on the bike can mean
that you need to pig out when you get
home how much is all this going to cost
