The espresso machines filter holder looks like it is meant to be used with the capsules from underneath. A bit sad to see how much single-use plastics some teams use even in the Bus where they could have a dishwasher or anything like that.
@@Grunge_Cycling That is good marketing. When I visit a race here in the liège area, I always look out to collect bottles. Until now I wasn't successful because others already did the same. Bottles are not a big problem. But gel packages etc. are, because they won't get collected. But some races already forbid to litter in certain areas, that's a good way, but not perfect. But on the road it is difficult to substitute single-use plastics. Not every rider is as dedicated as adam hansen and puts the gels in gel-bootle. In the Buses on the other hand they could use unpacked sugar cubes, fresh milk instead of these small packages etc. etc.
Being a traditional espresso machine kind of guy, I can't imagine the mess that would develop around that espresso machine with all the riders, mechanics, coaches, guests, VIPs, etc. coming in to use it all the time. If they were using loose ground coffee, they would have to have somebody dedicated to cleaning the machine and the area several times a day over the course of 3 VERY busy weeks. In a scenario like this, where so much time and resource is invested, I think it is acceptable to use the disposable pods. You want the bus to be as nice and as clean and as accommodating as possible during the course of the race to help keep the rider's and the staff's spirits up.
@@chriscoppersmith7762 you have a point. but there are teams that use ground coffee. I think it's trek-segafredo and I think it is because segafredo doesn't produce pods. You have to clean it, but if you place it near the water tap it is only a quick whipe with a wet towel.
What kind of bag was it that he was looking through that had the warmers and gloves and such? Is that something that you're able to buy? Obviously not a Bahrain Merida one.
@@gcn L1 like the rules,equipments and safety stuff.. maybe there's something that GMBN can help since they did one in trail and what's the different between day and night Oh and about the night post ride, is it just the same as the recent vid that James and Chris just did like few days ago? What I need to do after the night ride?

a bit disappointing considering they are backed by arab oil money. weirdest thing on the bus is the coke zero, who is cutting down on sugar during a grand tour??
Diet soda is what, a can of chemicals? Not my cup of tea and besides, if you want bubbles, just go for carbonated water with some fruit flavor or something.
Carbonated water: Dihydrogen Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide and Carbonic Acid, plus trace amounts of Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Sulphate and more, nah, no chemicals there. Literally everything you eat and drink is chemicals. You are chemicals. Get over it.
Tell the truth. Everytime you open a cabinet door you're half expecting a bag of syringes or doping products to fall out. Would love to see such an outtake.
Oh God... a squillion dollar espresso machine, fueled not by freshly ground coffee, but pods. Nice one GCN, you follow up "How to Make the Perfect Coffee" with "How to Murder Coffee".
I wonder if the Shark is leaving the team over not being comfortable with the way Bahrain treats some of its citizens and tries to get the World to forget through sponsoring sport? Comfy seats and a Maclaren team-car or not.
GCN wil never be the same without Matt. His charisma and natural humor are tough to match. But I am warming up to the "new" guys. Taken me a while. They're not all that new anymore.
I wonder if there's a way to do away with so much single-use plastic, especially the water bottles. And I wonder if there is anything in that bus that James didn't touch with his germy, virus-laden fingers. Just kidding, but I loved how he talked about the importance of hygiene and then proceeded to touch everyone's food, drinks and clothing. My poor germ-phobic wife would have a batch of kittens.
I like Merida frame color, but I cant buy this bike with "Bahrain" logo. I can't! This is against my mind. In europe I can ride only with european or american logos and names.
What would you have in your dream team bus? 😍
I really hv no idea but subscribe to m'y youtube Channel
Hookers😂😂😂
Global Cycling Network a dream Bike😂
Some pecan rolls from Stuckey's.
Medical/massage setup appears to be missing?
Clearly holds up dried apricots "more nuts" (3:52). This is why I love James.
Eh, I preferred it when they had hosts who actually knew what they were talking about. But sure! It’s fun when people are wrong, I guess?
Looks like the editor kept audio of the last clip going while cutting to the close shot
"Water, super key for hydration" excellent stuff :D
Yay, bus tours are back!
But it also makes me miss Matt and him stealing "cheeky little" chocolate or a cap!
The feeling when a bus looks 10x nicer than your apartment...
And when it's 1.5x-2x bigger =( ...
Hank: I've never ridden first class...

Yaaaaaaay team bus tour again😍
The French police also took a tour of Bahrain-Merida's bus recently! Fascinating!
I love this team and I wish all the best my favorite Bahrain merida Cycling Team #bahrain #2020

I love your bus tours! It's always fascinating seeing how the different teams differ in what they lug round with them.
Absolutely! This one was pretty plush eh?
The energy bar drawer is BOOOM !!!
Lee Eric What is that supposed to mean ?
I like this guy......good presenter
Cheers Simon!
2nd that
Global Cycling Network will this make the best comments section of the GCN show......?.
Everyone loves a good bus tour video!!
I think the bus tour videos are my favorite! It’s a really cool different perspective to racing.
Very well done James, your best video so far.
The espresso machines filter holder looks like it is meant to be used with the capsules from underneath. A bit sad to see how much single-use plastics some teams use even in the Bus where they could have a dishwasher or anything like that.
What about the tens of thousands of water bottles that each grand tour team throws away each year?

Thank you guys. I always love the bus tours.
Glad to hear it!
I'm always looking forward to the team bus tours! 👍🏻
We love them too!
Love the nutritional store. Want one of them for the house! :)
I have one, I call it the kitchen. Just Kidding..
Wow!
That bus looks comfy and super nice!
It's pretty plush eh Omaris?!
@@gcn Indeed it is! (^_-)
Big fan of bahrain merida
It's not a bus tour if you don't at least steal a hat.
this!
Matt now steals them for Eurosport....
Yeah, they're practically inviting all presenters to take advantage of a promotional opportunity :)
What kind of bag was it that he was looking through that had the warmers and gloves and such? Is that something that you're able to buy? Obviously not a Bahrain Merida one.
Riveting analysis of the cleaning products
I need a bus like this!
Don't we all... !
@@gcn No doubt!
Love the early uploading time recently, I can watch right away after work
Also can you do a video about night riding? Thanks
Thanks Fury, glad to hear it! That's a great idea - any points in particular you'd like us to look into?

@@tuttobicci Cool! Thanks.
Sweet traveling.. it'll work.. 👍🏼
Wow😍😍
thanks for showing how they grab the energy bars LOL :D :D , just kidding , cool video
Cool to see what all you can cram into a bus when you don't need to put a bed. Definately glam #vanlife
Chelsea v Frankfurt in the background 1:32
Any recommendations for a kit bag similar to the one at 2:56?
You can buy it from scicon direct
Very nice toilet... probably the nicest on these buses and a lot of other places
James DO NOT put your feet up on the seat opposite. That was a near miss when James jumped in to the sharks seat 😂
James, James, James. The Directeur Sportif doesn't watch the race unfolding on TV relaxing in the bus. ;-)
Sky bus the best
Do the wheels go round and round?
'The DS can go through the Stage Palmares' erm Parcours.
you didn't find the dope :/
Is it a maclaren bus ?
hold up. I did not know the most important seat in the bus is the drivers.
Those seats swivel and lean back ?? That's outrageous..! Technology on buses these days is phenomenal !!
Star Trek age - here we come!
is this still the same bus Mat reviewed?the ex- IAM cycling team bus?
I'm addicted to this bus I no longer want a house . I WANT A BUS !

maybe the bus driver, who knows? 🤷♀️
Eurobubble70 pretty sure this was filmed either the day before the tour started or on the TT day. Haven’t got the fridges fully loaded yet!
Im sure its an order for zero

Imagine finding EPO and shit 😂😂
LOOOOL
I thought the same thing... you open a cabinet and when you post the video someone else spots a little something in the far corner...
Ahh, the amount of times he wrongly called the COACH a BUS! There's a difference!
According to wikipedia, a coach is just a type of bus.
That book cover though...ugh
The only thing missing on that bus is me
Parcours rather than palmares I think.
Honestly if I hear one more time a GCN presenter calling to the road book "bible", I'm gonna headbutt my closet
Amen
I know all buses will be the same, but isn't it time to do away with the plastic.....
Espresso cups
Water

My bike cost more than my house.

where do they keep the drugs?
Along with the other supplements.

Unless you are sick, there is nothing wrong with that. Exposing body to germs keeps body more prepared for an actual outbreak.
is it just me or does anyone else cringe when James just tosses some of the stuff around?
I cringe anytime he's on screen. The worst.

I literally hate coffee. It's so insane how obsessed and addicted people are
Thanks for telling us. And oh btw, how can someone figuratively hate coffee?
