Jon takes a closer look inside the team cars, mechanic trucks and transport vans of Team Sky. The operation that goes on behind the scenes of a World Tour squad is quite something with Sky bringing a huge amount of vehicles with them to support the likes of Chris Froome and Wout Poels. The team boasts 10 individual washing machines and even an expanding kitchen truck!

WOW, ive just this year gotten interested in cycle racing. About how much $$$ or euros does it take one of these teams to operate for a season? Thanks for the videos.
Global Cycling Network, Mechanics’ Truck! The business end of everything!
Hmm they dont use the racehub, as they did on the Vuelta last year?
Any team that sees John heading their way had better start nailing everything down fast !!
What fun. Thanks. I wish we'd been able to see inside mechanics' and kitchen trucks. I think those would have been my favorites (American for "favourites," BTW), but I did enjoy seeing all the rest.
Fascinating look at the support vehicles had no idea it was this extensive. Great job Jon.
Steve Hambley thanks
BETTER EQUIPED THAN MY FLAT!
Geoff Govey better equipped than most 5 star hotel
Harry Enfield........loadsa money !!!!!!!!
My favourite vehicle? The bicycle of course!
You forgot the team sky helicopter!
Jon's taking over Matt's former role of stealing stuff from world tour team vehicles. Matt must have a whole trunk full of team caps.
The Team Sky budget is crazy, this is just over the top, now go and do a tour of FDJ or AG2r team bus and see the difference in sheer volume!!
FDJ and AG2r combined probably have the same amount of vehicles as Sky, If not less :D
Actually Team Sky if head & shoulders above everyone else although UAE is close
The money, christ.
"... the jacket warms up. How cool is that?" Well, it's not cool. Not cool at all.
😂
its the polar opossit.
I couldn't spot that heated jacket under the GCN jacket at all. Well snaffled.
That kind of thing
fitzy4578 basically .....
My favorite thing in the video was the compartmentalized zippered kit bag! Are these available to the public somewhere? I didn’t see one on Castelli’s website.
Perhaps GCN should add these to their “store”.
Did you found those bags??
Panini Mexico '86! High five Jon!
nishkra ✋
Thanks Jon! Crazy cool to see what sort of support team sky has... individual washer and dryer? Mind blowing!
Sneaky sneaky Jon
Team Sky using Unior Torq Wrench instead of Shimano PRO... I don't think we should have seen that :D
Great now I know what I need to take on holiday - I always forget the "Wi-Fi" Dryer ...
i want one of those heated jackets....castelli take my $$!!!
You forgot the extra $ I don't tihnk $$ will do it!
I've seen overkill, but this is next level. Amazingly the vials of dope would fit inside a pencil case...
“Because I’m not very good at zipping things together.” Love it! Keep ‘em coming.
Brent I do my best.
notice how each section was labelled with what was inside.
You do well Jon. Thanks for fueling my cycling inspiration
07:15 - Jon it's a socket not a plug !!! Either way really interesting review of a massive fleet
wow! fantastic this
brings out the inner anorak in all of us!😀
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Team Sky can I live in your fleet?
>One Love<
-A
sooo interesting!!!
My favourite GCN presenter
Good job cycling in eco friendly with all those vehicles to follow them around!
Being a support staff at some amateur race I would say it is not fun at all and would rather be in the bike. There's lot of preparation and then long waiting. After the pelaton went pass and you got to chase it back and remember they are going at 40+km/h and you had to do 80+km/h on a treacherous mountain road.
One big truck with Ventolin(Salbutamolum) allways with SKY !
Team Sky. The best team money can buy.
Brilliant John, I would get excited about all that kit too! Chapeau
richard aydon thanks
This is absolutely nuts!!!!
The washer and dryer wi/fi , and the kitchen vehicle
Now that's one heck of a fleet!
We thought so!
Global Cycling Network 😄👍
As a rider - the podium van would be what I would be aiming to be in the most.
Uma equipe com padrões de F 1. Top!!
All to the front..all to the front. ..attack attack...or something like that..I like..good video😊
Super
I am missing the two floor truck they brought with them to the Tour de France
INEOS GRENADIERS!!!!
Individual washer/dryers with WIFI? That's put the opposition in a spin.
Is that a mystery package in the corner of the boot there?
You should do a section on how the team cars bike racks are made.
Continuity Jon 😂😂
Very interesting video! :)
MrDaveCee Thanks!
Truly impressive!
We thought so!
How many staff do they bring on a GT?
in 2004, Giant-Shimano brought 9 riders, 3 coaches, 1 general manager, 1 cook, 1 press officer, 5 soignerus, 3 mechanics and 3 physicians to the Tour de France ...
ruwiki so probably a quarter of what team Sky bring now?
C Oliver yes, probably HAHA
and that's 14 years ago so imagine today! Sky has a bodyguard for this year's Tour as well! My guess would be at least 30-35 people
One clothes washer for each team member that’s nuts. Does Team Sky bring a generator to power all that stuff?
Bizarre! 😳
How many times can he say basically! I turned it into a drinking game - it was great!
Would like to see the difference between Sky and for example a sunweb. Does every team have such an extensive fleet?
5 Stars Service.... from (Me) MTB Riders Perspective...
Sseparate special washing machine for Vroom - to train his magic RPM!
WHY does the sky fleet have GERMAN license plates?
Can some one help me? :]
Irish Wristwatch because Ford’s headquarters are in Cologne, and running sponsorship programmes is usually a head office responsibility.
I wonder what the total Road tax cost is for the fleet??
All decoys. How could you possibly find the dope with so many motors.
Where is the "marginal gains" vehicle that stores the memory foam mattress covers? They have already changed from the sky blue colored musette bag to a neon yellow version. My favorite vehicle is the mechanics truck.
This is so cool, awesome and fascinating!
My favourite vehicle from the fleet is Ford Mondeo! Hats off to Jon and Team Sky! #GoTeamSky
Thanks Omaris!
No problem! (^_^)v
Another great tour Jon
Are they really putting castelli clothes in the dryer?!?!
How do the teams make sure that nobody is listening to their team radio? Is there anything to stop other teams from eavesdropping?
I would like to know if Tom is in negotiations with team sky as he clearly gave the win to Chris
I'm wondering why you didnt show us the bus and place where all bottles is stored?
what about the big RV/Motorhome thingy in the reflection of the bus at 1:40? Or is it just a lorry? Looks quite expensive!
Love videos like this. It is quite the armada which team Sky have... got to love both the mechanics truck and the team cars... its where the magic happens! I would never have thought that there would have been quite so many vehicles for just one team... I am guessing that team sky is definately the exception and not the rule!! Keep em coming Cannings!
Cheers John, glad you enjoyed the video!
Can the public get those race guide books and if so where from?
How many coaches to teams like Sky have? I assume they have at least two to cater for multiple races at the same time
Too bad Mondeo Estates aren't sold in Canada.
I wonder what would happen if the teams go unsupported. Maybe just try that for 1 stage.
where can i buy that heated jacket
You forgot to show the fridge where the performance enhancers are kept
Sky is not cycloteam, But motorteam😂
yes, Id love to see a tour of these so called motor homes
Where is the F1 styled paddock that sky brought to the Vuelta last year
Missed the most important part of the team car - the horns!
How could Jon forget!?
They should sell those jackets to the public, would definitely buy one of them!
hundreds of brands make them.. they've been around for years lol
Where is SKY team doctors !! please interview them next time. regarding the TEU'S applications for the team. pleasE!!!!!
And I thought this is Team Sky's final year?
Since Jon did this, Sky and Froome changed their luck... Did the presence of Jon put an end to the GCN Curse?
Pablo Traine yes
How much do you reckon the team bus costs?
How long will SKY be competing if sold to Disney or Fox?
Can you swipe a panini calendar for my kid?!He has the soccer one
How trashed are those team cars at the end of a season? You should do a tour of one at the end of a season to see how wrecked they are!
Just wondering where's the car for the lawyers?
At least one FBI looking van keeping a look out for anti doping officials.
Do all teams have that amount of cars?
Team Sky seems like the Patriots of cycling. Lots of extra doo-dads
And lots of deflating.
One car for podiums etc where amongst other things riders need to do a "medical control"? Wonder if that is the correct term for a anti doping control? Is it to scary to say it?
6:20 hahahah :-D transfusion, epo, etc. :-)
you made yourself laugh, at least
Yes containers full of, erm “drinks”.
Others may call them drugs, turbos or wonder accelerators, we just call them "drinks".
Your humour is about as interesting and fresh as a mouldy, shitty piece of stale bread.
rpx1979 Yeah cheers great insight thanks for stopping by.
8:55 beLIEve, Jon suddenly sounds like Trump 😂
Would like to know where the parts for electric motors are stored.
I thought they had a Mustang as well???
Ford
I love GCN and Team Sky but damn, is this a paid ad? Seems like a Team Sky promo by GCN.
we want to see the bikes and machanic space also inside the kitchen
Oh please bring back Matt
Awww boring! My initial thoughts about the mags in the back of the S-Max was it's a stack of porn to keep the riders happy during the long evenings/transfers, and it turns out to be bloody Panini sticker books, haha!
Jon was later seen in a cafe bathroom doing mirror selfies in only a chamois and posting to Instagram with #lovingFroomesChamois
Grant Henderson was I?!
Jon Cannings I blame the Peroni 🤣
I put a new video must watch
What happens to the team buses and custom lorries when they are replaced. Could you do a video on this?
From Jaguar to Ford. Ouch!
CnE Ford cars are perfectly decent. In the UK, Jags are seen as cars for old men and spivs
They have more vehicles than most military units!
no mention of the helicopter? obviously it seems a bit excessive but a) great to see they try to cater to all the rider's needs and b) considering they're transporting a massive team (riders + support staff) for 3 weeks, it makes a bit more sense. would be curious to know how their setup differs at the grand tours v shorter stage races v classics ...
