Which climb do you have unfinished business with?
-
This is why GCN picking up Ollie was such a great idea! Ollie is no slouch as a cyclist, but, he retains that "I am an everyday" kinda charm that allows the rest of us to think, "hey, I could do that!" Even though we can't, at least we can dream. That is inspiring Ollie, Thanks!

Dan's old Canyon ✔ 2kg weightloss ✔ Assos Aerobitchtit Suit ✔ 3 months Opie's time wasted ✔ Bottle removed ✔ Bottle cage removed ✔ Bartape removed ✔ Single chainring installed ✔ LackofPower2max spider power meter ✔ Windtunnel calculations ✔ Incontinencal Supersonic tyres ✔ 6 seconds improvement. This could be my favourite GCN video ever.

I like Ollie because he's a modest guy
-
That's the thing, your biggest opponent is yourself, the greatest challenges in life are about besting yourself and it's all mostly in the head. Great spirit.
-
people kept saying Ollie is not as strong as the other presenters, come on, he's you and me, he represents us club riders, it brings the contents closer to us, not only awe to what the presenters can do, but also try ourselves.
-
Emma Pooley still has the QOM from 2013. Amazing! :O
-
325 Watts for 30 Min. is just amazing for a non Pro. Whatever the time....you did very well. I love such clips. Greets form Vienna!
-
Just lost the admiration of my daughter when I told her my best time was 1hr 19min. “That’s rubbish” she said. Wounded. Only 67,467 faster times to beat 😕
-
“ I’m going to keep trying”, that’s the spirit Ollie. Great video !
-
Top effort Ollie, you went past me like I was stopped 😂🚴🏻♂️
-
This is one of my favorite videos I have seen on GCN over the years. The editing, the cinematography, the sound track at the perfect time and the raw emotion at the end from Ollie. I have always loved the slap stick side in years past but this video....this video.... I am at a loss... I just want the other presenters to give Ollie a hug at the end and tell him great job....One amazingly great job....
-
Another super "cycling noir" video from GCN. We have all been in that situation Ollie, well done.
-
Brilliant effort Ollie. As you say, conditions weren't quite right on the day. I'm sure you'll crack it though. Another great video from GCN crew.
-
I didn’t deserve to watch this for free. GCN pushing out some epic, high-quality content in videos like this. Also, Ollie is a naturally easy to watch and listen to presenter. Corking vid.
-
This really motivated me on my ascent of Sa Calobra today. I was 6 seconds off Ollie‘s time and gave it my all. I now know what it takes to push it up there and have even more respect for you, Ollie!
-
Well done Ollie! I love your attitude and determination to nail this goal. While I love all the GCN presenters, I especially look forward to the videos featuring Ollie. Keep up the great work all!
-
This was so good! Keep trying! This was so inspirational to get out and keep going for goals that push you.
-
What a piece of art this video was. Very similar to Col Collective. Inspirational for sure. Thanks for bringing great content. And Ollie, phenomenal work.
-
Mate you still smashed it nice work.
