"lots of things in your garden are green; grass and leaves for example" There really is some incredible learnings and insight available to viewers of GCN.
$109, not 109$. I don't normally correct people like a grammar Nazi, and I know you're probably from another country, but that one always bugs me. I'm from America. The dollar sign always goes before the number, like this: $109. I don't know why; I only know that that's the correct way to write it.
Hi GCN, I've just discoverd you guys. And immidiately I was hooked. I'm loving your Top 10 videos. Now I know that you shouldn't eat a bagguete on the bike. And if you want to eat pizza, you should putt the box on your buddys back. You bus tours are amazing, but sadly I've watched them all in 2 days. Keep on making this awesome content!
Not sure what's worse, Nibali breaking rule 8 (don't attack if the leader has a mechanical/crash etc) or the fact he doesn't watch GCN to learn the rules
Comedy was on form for this one chaps - loved the ending! Maybe GCN should sell copies of the unwritten rule book. I could do with an unwritten highway code rule book to throw at drivers on my commute. Gap in the market?
Another unwritten rule: If riders in the grupetto miss the time cut, then they *are* allowed to continue on to the next stage if the group of them is big enough, as the organisers don't want to be seen to be kicking out loads of riders at once.
Not attacking the Yellow in trouble. haha, good timing, apparently Nibali didn't notice the yellow jersey in trouble today despite his SKY team-mate pulling to the side of the road and lots of gear thrashing coming from a nearby Dogma. Nibali's team boss Vinokourov defended it on French TV with 'Ah yes he doesn't have ears that point backwards'.. Yeah sure. :)
Matt channeling his inner Huck Finn with those jean shorts (or "jorts"). Is he going to do a video on how to build a raft and float down the Mississippi River?
The Champs Elysée parade was upstaged in In 1979 when Joop Zoetemelk attacked trying to gain time on Bernard Hinault and they both rode away from the peloton. I won't spoil the rest by giving the result.
Time limit also involves which category the stage falls in. A,B,C categories all give different time limits, combined with AVG. Speed and the first finished rider's time
That polka dot jersey, was in fact a testimony to Henry Lemoine as known as " p'tit pois "... that was decided by Felix Lévitan manager of the tour in 1975.
Number 8 is ignored so much! Last year for example aru tried to attack at mont du chat right after froome raised his arm because of a technical issue. Or in 2009 I think it was when Andy schleck was in the lead and he was in front together with Contador and on a descend Andy’s chain sprung off and so he had to stop but Contador went on to win the stage and take over the yellow jersey!
Great video! I would love to see more on calculating the finishing time without DQ. Not overly interesting I suppose but something I"ve always wanted to understand
I and maybe a lot of others would be happy if rule number 9 would be eliminated! It is a race, do what ever is needed to win the tour, even to the last meters! An attack on the last stage would be a real good surprise.
the reason the yellow jersey is yellow is still disputed i thought? i read it was because they left it to the last minute to get a jersey and the only fabric that was left was yellow. i personally like that reason more :P
Vincenzo Nibali has obviously been too busy to catch up on his GCN recently! Maybe somebody should share this video with him. Or Matt could write the unwritten rules down for him!
Could you say Nibali broke the unwritten (number 8) rule when Froome came into a spot of bother with his bike on the stage today? He seemed to attack the yellow jersey.
"lots of things in a garden are green...grass, and leaves for example. And Weeds *subtle yet overly exaggerated inhale* indeed." Moving right along. hahaha
I know it's nothing to do with this vid but how about a video about what to look for when buying a second hand bike? Just on the way to look at one now, thought may be useful ;0
His Nibs obviously doesn't subscribe to GCN, although he did say he didn't attack when the Maillot Jeune had a mechanical. Mind you,The Shark seemed to fair just as badly as the one in that surfing competition in South Africa,don't pick on someone who can fight back!!
1989 TDF the best TDF ever.... LeMond (greatest US cyclist EVER) beat Fignon by 8 seconds... That's 8 seconds over the WHOLE race!!! LeMond came out with the first aero bars and came back against a deficit to Fignon to win the WHOLE race by 8 seconds.
So, I guess I can't ask details about unwritten rules because you couldn't reply in writing. However, I do have a general question about rules. Are there any rules about or asking about subjects we all wonder about but doesn't seem to be talked about? At risk of perhaps breaking one of the rules, and thus committing a faux pas, I'll beat around the bush or bushes as it were as I wonder about rules pertaining to a rider having to find some bushes when nature calls. I would guess you shouldn't attack (the race) lest the peleton remember and leave you in the dust when it's you turn.
The rule about "Respect the Yellow Jersey" really needs to be rethunk. REALLY people, it's a race, the idea is to win and beat the competition. I get the gentlemanly thing to do, but winning the stage and of course the whole tour is the goal. If misfortune hits the Yellow wearer, well, sorry, that's racing. When any race, car, bicycle, plane, marathon, TRIATHLON, you name it, nobody says "ahh, sorry, let me wait for you."
You ride out infront of the peloton, signal that you need to answer natures call, sprint ahead and do what you need to do. If you're in the GC one or two of your team mates might stop to wait for you. And if you're in yellow then the whole peloton slows down.
Can someone explain me what it means to "wait " for the yellow jersey same with the last stage, why there aren't any attacks when its part of a race? and is the complete last stage just for fun?, then what if a rider has to take a "piss" are others slowing down or what is it? i mean its a race afterall , arent everyone giving their best to the end?
The last stage is a cruise until they reach the Champs Elysee and have completed one whole lap. After that it's the sprinters stage. If you have to take a leak you ride up infront of the pack and signal that you have to do so, and then sprint ahead. Get of your bike and do your "business".
A number of factors, everyone is going to have a flat or take a pee at some point. Waiting is more of a professional courtesy; these guys race together all year and most are just doing a job. As far as the last stage, it's too flat to gain any time in the General Classification anyway...you could attack and the leader's team goes to the front and runs you down - game over. It takes mountains and time trials to open any significant time gaps.

Another interesting rule: If over 20% of the field finishes outside of the elimination time, then they can't be eliminated.
I love those comic book mugs - and the fact that Matt is such a nerd. Lots of love!
Not sure what's worse, Nibali breaking rule 8 (don't attack if the leader has a mechanical/crash etc) or the fact he doesn't watch GCN to learn the rules

Did Froome get the aggressive rider award for punching a spectator?
Dan nodding to Matt to “get on with it” just burst me 🤣🤣🤣
New fan of these two! Great list, great hosts.
You should do a - 'top 10 most unusual things to be thrown at riders in the peloton'
Piss, fists, bottles...

nice to listen to this conference enjoyed it very much.
Said it before but these are some the best videos on YT. Informative, funny, well presented and just damned good fun!
Awesome videos guys...keep up the good work!
A perfectly timely video on unwritten rules! Well done.
Best Cycleling Channel ever
Humorous and informative, I knew respect for the yellow Jersey, but not the rest. Good list.
Excellent way to present the rules. When are they going to enforce them equally? This year as an example.
"Like an inverse feed zone, for hats." --Matt Stephens.
Loving that Spider-Man mug!
Matt does a great job showing us how to be a grown man and wear J'orts at the same time. The rolled cuffs say pure class.
Looking forward to another 10!

Saw that one just yesterday in the womens bikerace at the olympic games.
I know it's old, but that wheel swap was very fucking cool and we need more of that in the races.
Love these videos 😀
One of my rules is that I don't want to pass away,die, until the tour is over for the year, I love it.
Great video! I would love to see more on calculating the finishing time without DQ. Not overly interesting I suppose but something I"ve always wanted to understand
The explenation of most agressive rider was wrong...
It should be best french atacker during the stage
CycleTube so true 😂😂😂😂
CycleTube Is Dan Martin French?
@@BedBug38 Honorary french. It's allowed.
If you are a racer you should already know the feed after 50 before 20 rule and the time cut one ;)
I and maybe a lot of others would be happy if rule number 9 would be eliminated! It is a race, do what ever is needed to win the tour, even to the last meters!
An attack on the last stage would be a real good surprise.
An even bigger surprise if it actually gained any time, no matter how hard anyone rides.
You guys are hilarious! Subbed.

great video loving Matt's coffee mug may we ask is he a big Marvel fan?
Nice 80's retro, rolled-up jean shorts. Are those back in style now?
It doesn't look like it, no.
Global Cycling Network they are now aha
Could you say Nibali broke the unwritten (number 8) rule when Froome came into a spot of bother with his bike on the stage today? He seemed to attack the yellow jersey.
It seems as a watch the Tour right now (stage 19), I just seen rule #8 broken.. Froome dropped his chain and once Nibali realised he attacked.
Watching this 4 years later and bring that curly hair lad back
so what are the exceptions to number? and what was that thing about the guy getting a wheel off a non-team matr
"lots of things in a garden are green...grass, and leaves for example. And Weeds *subtle yet overly exaggerated inhale* indeed." Moving right along. hahaha
Where do you get your cycling colthes? yours are awesome. i guess is as expensive as everthing i saw.
in reference to the no food and drink first 50km and last 20km, i believe that this is also prohibited when climbing and descending.
Also, no attacking during toilet breaks. I remember though someone attacked contador when he stopped for a natural break.
Contador also attacked Schleck when he dropped a chain on a climb
Looks like the guy in green has the same weakness as Si :)

Yeah a GCN AMA on r/peleton would be a great idea!
6:00 "come on get on with it" Dan didn't seem to be joking...jeez
ichiroku commenting again--I hate to be commenting like this about The Boss, but yikes! so snarky.
He has little patience lol
Say something about motorcycle, press, directors, how many cars por team, how many shoppers, etc.
Looks like even Spider-Man disapproves of Matt's jorts.
I know it's nothing to do with this vid but how about a video about what to look for when buying a second hand bike? Just on the way to look at one now, thought may be useful ;0
Very interesting
the final stage - though this video refers to TDF, its crazy Froome sprinted at LaVuelta, but God forbid someone attacks him on the final stage ....
BIG UP for using Daniel Teklehaimanots pic!!
1:49-1:56 Entirely relevant to Stage 13 of Tour de France 2017.
That Tintin mug!
He also has a model of the moon rocket on his book shelf.
Would you guys ever do an AMA on reddit? The r/peloton group would love to hear from you guys.
His Nibs obviously doesn't subscribe to GCN, although he did say he didn't attack when the Maillot Jeune had a mechanical. Mind you,The Shark seemed to fair just as badly as the one in that surfing competition in South Africa,don't pick on someone who can fight back!!
Great vid as always, guys. But why don't you use a boom mic for when you're indoors? ;)
Hey GCN. great vids!! But, why did Froom put up a "time out" signal with his hands during yesterday's stage??
1989 TDF the best TDF ever.... LeMond (greatest US cyclist EVER) beat Fignon by 8 seconds... That's 8 seconds over the WHOLE race!!! LeMond came out with the first aero bars and came back against a deficit to Fignon to win the WHOLE race by 8 seconds.

There is also this civil concept in competition that's become more of a blip over time - It's called sportsmanship...
It's as though this video had known what Fridays stage would bring
I like matts spider man mug.
Dan always knows what he is talking about... Doesn't he?????
yeah the Unwritten rules been broken Chris from did last year
I like how the first unwritten rule was broken by Nibali today on stage 19....
This guy has the Liggit voice ,which is sorely missed
Guy on the left looks like Jens Voigt ! :P
The poka dot jersey for the king of the mountains now represents all the blood spots from transfusions and epo injections
XD
I wish be able to discard of helmets on the mountain climbs was legal. The riders look so cool without helmets.
I d love to see the winner determined on the last stage, what if someone attacked and took yellow there ? The win would be reffused??????
Lance Armstrong sighting at 5:32
@ 39 sec the man in the green on the right seems to be Si' s long lost father
the polka dot brand is from my home country:))
i guess now we officially know Nibali is not a fan of GCN ;)
NIBALI didnt watch this video and attacked when FROOME fell down of his bike at stage 19 :/
What exactly is the rule for when riders are taking a piss? Or for when the yellow jersey takes a piss?
You ride out infront of the peloton, signal that you need to answer natures call, sprint ahead and do what you need to do. If you're in the GC one or two of your team mates might stop to wait for you. And if you're in yellow then the whole peloton slows down.
