Best show on TV-GNC on Youtube

GNC-Global Cycling Network.
I love the wit (can be very dry) and colloquiums of the Brit presenters. Can’t miss an episode and some really bring back memories/highlights from my 44 years of cycling. Also realize I’m an old fart-All my bikes have round tubes, tubular 23/25 mm tires, rim brakes and 12-25 cassettes-all considered out-of-date equipment. Can’t stop laughing. Makes me realize why I love cycling so much.

GCN.

GNC is that annoying supplement manufacturer.

But true, great to watch. And those chaps are as nice in person as they seem on TV.

Great show and great for new riders. Love watching them and I even bought a t shirt. Awesome show that promotes the cycling community.

Definitely one of my favorites! They don't seem to shove new technologies as must-haves, but really talk through advantages of both old and new.

Along these same lines, their blindfolded comparison of Shimano 105 R7000 vs Dura Ace R9100 was outstanding.

Any idea how the channel is funded?

Discovery Communications owns them, so they have deep pockets

They also have sponsored content and (presumably) Youtube monetization.

Yep, I watch almost all episodes and enjoy these guys. Would love to meet a couple of them sometime. I think they should consider an occasional FB live or similar so viewers could chat live with their hosts.

You can always go to one of their training camps!

It's always interesting to see what the world tour guys run on their bikes on the tech channel.

Well, at least partially through corporate sponsors. If you see products and signage behind the presenters with company logos, it is a good bet those companies paid for product placement (and maybe more). One such company is Park Tools.

About 75 percent of their content is product or event placement.

And it's all in the GMBN, GTN family too.

I like their GCN Tech Show; the the readers’ bike segments.
