GCN, you should not turn a blind eye to what happened in the Zwift Academy. Do you think we, the audience, are clowns? Do you think it was okay to play with Chiara? You have the responsibility to be good representatives of cycling. Where's fairness and ethics? Should one seek wins at all costs? Should greed dominate more and more the world of cycling? Should cycling be sponsored by organisations linked to countries which do not respect human rights? Will you ever understand your responsibility in having a positive impact on cycling.
Atlantic Way in Ireland or North Coast 500 in Scotland - Sun sets in the West so the Atlantic coasts are the places to be for the gorgeously massive ocean horizon sunsets while sipping a well deserved Irish whiskey or Guinness. 😁🌅🚴♀
To present homeland of three pro cyclists who neighbour themselves in circle less than 20 km: Tadej Pogačar, Primož Roglič and Matej Mohorič. Lower Gorenjska region or "Little Flandria" as they called it with mountains around. Great place for cycling.
Seriously one of the most inspiring and beautiful videos I've watched. The camera and editing crews deserve high praise for the quality of this production as well as the riders. If RUclips had an Emmy, this video would win the epic adventure video category!
They certainly share a love for food and cycling! Have you seen them riding the Milan-Sanremo course together? 👉 ruclips.net/video/xoFnDmt0mLw/видео.html
This is so immersive it's like being there with Ollie and Alan. And the evening dinner at mama's makes it so warmly Italian. And this reminds me yet again I desperately need to win the lotto to buy a second home and Wilier Triestina Gran Turismo in a warm place of warm people.😁
Thank you for what has been the best video from GCN for ages, uplifting, scenic, entertaining, and joyful! More, please! Olly and Alain make for positive vibes!
right?? same here. That pure joy, excitement and banter just makes you want to hop on your bike and go on epic summer rides with mates. I need to go back to Tuscany asap
one of my favorite epic ride videos! loved every element - the Tuscany scenery, the Wilier bikes, the great conversation shared, the feeling of being on the ride, and the reward moments, bravo!
The age old conundrum for northern lads when referring to the evening meal; tea or dinner?! Add in, it’s Corporation Pop. And I can’t wait for the Cross England Finishing In Grimsby At A Chippy Route with Alan!
Love it! This is what cycling is about, rarely an easy way, but so rewarding and beautiful, especially in such a beautiful country as Italy and with friends.
That's a serious ride on amazing roads, with incredible scenery. I would love to ride there. I only ever rode in Italy once, from Lugano to Milano at the end of a bicycle touring trip. So much fun! I fondly recall getting help with directions on my map from two fabulously helpful Italian guys on the roadside. They helped me, and the they shouted Arrivederci, Amercano!, as I rode off! Hilariously fun memories. Some day again.
Ollie - “I can’t think of anything more Italian”. An Italian groupset maybe? Seriously though. What an epic ride. Very inspiring (though I’d prefer it over 2 or 3 days to take it in
Absolutely loved that Beautiful ride, great characters (Alain is a star) and that pasta looked pretty good too This style of GCN vid, even if it is product placement getting it made, is the best of all of it. Stunning all round
@@gcn I’m thinking of driving over there to do the route (from sw france) … not in one run given my aged state … but ONLY IF I GET TO HAVE MAMAS PASTA !
Wow, so inspiring Ollie is never less than totally enthusiastic added to that you have Alan and beautiful scenic Italian roads, and there riding Wiliers!
my fav presenter combo; Alan is such a great guy and no doubt the most Italian man ever, haha; he always makes me laugh; this video, despite being an ad, puts me in such a good mood; and what a beautiful ending - delizioso e semplicemente perfetto! grazie mille GCN
OMG! I absolutely LOVE this content! Thanks Ollie and Alan and gcn for taking us alongon this truly EPIC ride! Love that Ollie insisted on dipping toes in each ocean! Can't believe that you did this in one day. I will have to add it to the bucket list. But I need a friendly localwho will feed me real Italian food after each day and of course, there would be many. More of this stellar content please!
Great film - love it 😁 I notice how Ollie said "tea" at Alans Mums house at first - then during their sandwich stop in Florence - it became "dinner" 😂😂
Thank you! As I watched this, an Attic front was bearing down on my Rocky Mountain town and we were expecting fridgid temperatures, snow and fierce winds. This video offered escape!
Beautiful, comfortable bikes, good company and such Fantastic scenery to ride through. Topped with Mama's capiletti al ragu at the end. Geez Ollie you drew the lucky straw for sure. Tireno Adriatico is my favorite race and has been since I first saw it. After that comes the Giro. Italy is so freaking beautiful and full of variety of landscape and vistas. I never would have guessed Williers is an Italian company...
Ollie has changed - loving it - such a humble brag - 'look I won't drop you today' 'if I was on a race bike and wanted too sure'. :P worse than being dropped!! 🤣
About a decade ago my partner and I rode cheap hire bikes from Firenze to Siena and back over 3 days (one day each way plus a day just in Siena), absolutely loved it! Was such a chill and beautiful way to travel in such a great part of the world.
Yes, we found we stopped at a lot of places that we either would not have noticed from a car, or that we physically couldn't have in a car due to there being nowhere to pull off the road.
Absolutely Ollie - I look forward to dipping my back tire in the Ohio River in Cincinnati and riding back to Cleveland to dip my front tire in Lake Erie riding the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET). Great video, watching again before my next big ride. Fun on bikes - that's what it's all about.
Great fun Ollie and Alan....funny that Alan was not thrilled with your Tower of Pisa shots, as a tourist move...Ollie's response..I AM A TOURIST...BUONA DIA, guys 💟💟
Good day to you! I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan. I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. Your ride video is so nice! Awesome! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!
That looks like a bucket list C2C for sure! Sign me up! And the Wiliers were stunning too. Good to see a comfort focused high end machine instead of the ultra aggressive aero or lightweight race bikes. Also my wife hadn't heard of the classic phrase "council pop" to describe water until last week much to my surprise. I thought it was Black Country slang but apparently you say it Up North too!
I really need to go back to Tuscany. Last time I was there was for the World Championships, on the climb to Fiesole, in an absolute deluge. In a restaurant at the end, they just thrust a huge fiasco of local red wine at us, as we evidently needed it! A spectacular place to ride.
Lovely ride. Have cycled from Piza down the west coast to Mezzina - wish I was back there! Lovely video - the sea water looked such a great after a long ride!

Where would you go on your perfect sunrise to sunset ride?
The Australian Blue Mountains 🤩
After watching this video I'm inspired to do a mountains to the Baltic journey in Poland, but I don't think it's doable in one day ;)

"It looks bigger in pictures though"
"yes, story of my life my friend"
I absolutely cracked up on this one! 😂😂😂😂
Ollie and Alan, great chemistry with theses guys. Let’s have more of these videos
What would you like to see them take on next?

Thanks a lot! We're glad you enjoyed it so much! Have you been inspired to do a similar ride?
well said, was thinking the same
GCN have plenty of epic videos like this one. Go and watch one where they try to kill Hank.
@@martindirkzimmer "Go and watch one where they try to kill Hank."
Oh, just every video he's in then? 😄
Good form, cycle on.
Being Italian, this is a great content, loved it to bits! You see how much Ollie loves Italy, and Alan is so much fun. Oh, by the way, what a bike!
Glad you enjoyed it! For more with Alan, why not check out our 'Race across Italy' film on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/raceacrossitaly
Watched in Italian first and now in English.
Vero?
Brilliant video!
Whats not to love about italy. I will be there at least twice next year.
Every loves Italy.Greatings from Poland.
ollie: "I'm not going to drop you", 1 shot later, Alan is dropped 😂 Epic ride!
He's getting in a bit of a habit of dropping people!
Great video. From the first to last minute Ollie was obviously having the time of his life. He and Alan make a great pairing.
They certainly share a love for food and cycling! Have you seen them riding the Milan-Sanremo course together? 👉 ruclips.net/video/xoFnDmt0mLw/видео.html
@@gcn I did but I think this one is better. This video actually makes me want to go and do the same ride.
Alan's energy is infectious! Momma's house for dinner is *chefs kiss*. Italy is absolutely breathtaking through Florence and Tuscany.
It's such a gorgeous part of the world!
❤
This is so immersive it's like being there with Ollie and Alan. And the evening dinner at mama's makes it so warmly Italian. And this reminds me yet again I desperately need to win the lotto to buy a second home and Wilier Triestina Gran Turismo in a warm place of warm people.😁
me too! 😂
I know this is partly an advert for Wilier, but I think Italian Tourism should be giving them even more, looks like a classic ride.
Have you ridden there before? It's pretty special! 👌
One of GCN's best. Great ride, stunning scenery, couple of mates having fun. Oh, and Mama's house for tea!
Glad you liked it! If you liked that, you could watch Alan racing across Italy in our film on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/raceacrossitaly
Thank you for what has been the best video from GCN for ages, uplifting, scenic, entertaining, and joyful! More, please! Olly and Alain make for positive vibes!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. For more Ollie and Alan, you should check out their Milan-Sanremo video! 👉 ruclips.net/video/xoFnDmt0mLw/видео.html

Love the collabs with Alan. These two are a good pairing. Really inspiring vid

How excited is Ollie! Makes me want to just go and ride my bike and have fun, thank you.
That's great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it
right?? same here. That pure joy, excitement and banter just makes you want to hop on your bike and go on epic summer rides with mates. I need to go back to Tuscany asap
Ollie...Alan...Wilier...Italy...Mom's home cooking...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is a five star video.
❤
A fun day out for all we think 🙌
one of my favorite epic ride videos! loved every element - the Tuscany scenery, the Wilier bikes, the great conversation shared, the feeling of being on the ride, and the reward moments, bravo!
Alan and Ollie together is the GCN version of Clarkson, Hammond and May from Top Gear. Good video!
The age old conundrum for northern lads when referring to the evening meal; tea or dinner?!
Add in, it’s Corporation Pop.
And I can’t wait for the Cross England Finishing In Grimsby At A Chippy Route with Alan!
This has to be one of the best video edits for cycling I have seen, talk about motivation to get on your bike and do something epic.
Ollie! Combed hair!? Superb ride , thanks so much for bringing it to us ❤
I think it is time to send Ollie on a endurance adventure somewhere. 270km in one day is clearly not enough 💪
i’m up for that!
Paris-Brest-Paris or the UK end to end.
Pan Celtic Race maybe?
Just ride home.
Where should we end him? 🗺
Love it! This is what cycling is about, rarely an easy way, but so rewarding and beautiful, especially in such a beautiful country as Italy and with friends.
Now that's a great short film. There oughta be an award for this. The camerawork, the content, even the dialogue, was just great! Well done, Ollie!
Such a fun video ~ love it ~ more of this dynamic duo together please.
Have you seen our Milan-Sanremo video? ruclips.net/video/xoFnDmt0mLw/видео.html
@@gcn ~ thank you for the reminder ~ just rewatched this ~ great chemistry from these two ~ please keep them coming.
Buoni i cappelletti della mamma di Alan! Bravi Ollie e Alan, bel video che riassume la bellezza del ciclismo.
Brilliant absolutely brilliant, these two should keep making videos together ❤
Thanks! it’s always great fun riding with alan!

Sounds like a great trip! Its such a lovely part of the world
Ollie and Alan wonderful video!! Enjoyed the seeing the lighter side of just riding a bike with friends!! Keep more of these adventure coming GCN!
That's what it's all about, riding bikes with friends and eating pasta 😋
Cycling across Italy is such a dream. Beautiful roads, beautiful country, beautiful bicycles.
Ollie - “I can’t think of anything more Italian”. An Italian groupset maybe? Seriously though. What an epic ride. Very inspiring (though I’d prefer it over 2 or 3 days to take it in
More days = more pasta! That sounds like the way to do it 🙌
Fabulous. Just what I needed. Thankyou Ollie, Alan and GCN. Merry Christmas and looking forward to what GCN offers in 2023.
Absolutely loved that
Beautiful ride, great characters (Alain is a star) and that pasta looked pretty good too
This style of GCN vid, even if it is product placement getting it made, is the best of all of it.
Stunning all round
thanks for the support and feedback. really appreciate it
@@GCNuser123 Loved it. Road trips are the best. Would have liked to see la mama from the front though :)
CAPPELLETTI! 😂
That's what we like to hear 🙌 Lets be honest... the pasta was the best bit!
@@gcn I’m thinking of driving over there to do the route (from sw france) … not in one run given my aged state … but ONLY IF I GET TO HAVE MAMAS PASTA !
Alan and Ollie - my favourite international GCN pair!
😍
Wow, so inspiring Ollie is never less than totally enthusiastic added to that you have Alan and beautiful scenic Italian roads, and there riding Wiliers!
great wholesome video and incredibly inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it! I think we'd all like to ride that route!
Beautiful Italy, excellent video. This is what inspires me to ride 👏
Amazing! Any plans for such a ride in the future?
Without a doubt, the most beautiful country in the world. Love the people, culture, food and the history. Great video 👏😎
Nothing cheers up the soggy Bath riders better than sunshine and warm water. Great video!
my fav presenter combo; Alan is such a great guy and no doubt the most Italian man ever, haha; he always makes me laugh; this video, despite being an ad, puts me in such a good mood; and what a beautiful ending - delizioso e semplicemente perfetto! grazie mille GCN
Glad you enjoyed it! We love hanging out with Alan... especially if it means Mama's cooking 👀
This was beautiful I think my heart actually skipped a beat watching this. Will have to check the other epic adventures out
You guys have a good chemistry together more video like this!!! Merry Christmas
Cheers! Glad you liked it
An awesome show. Especially loved "mama" serving the meal in a pan...just like home to me. Thank you !
OMG! I absolutely LOVE this content! Thanks Ollie and Alan and gcn for taking us alongon this truly EPIC ride! Love that Ollie insisted on dipping toes in each ocean!

What a beautiful video. A perfect blend of content, cinematic shots and humour. Just excellent.
This looks like one epic ride! I really want to head Italy and the Mediterranean for a tour.
You should! Its such an amazing place to ride
Great film - love it 😁 I notice how Ollie said "tea" at Alans Mums house at first - then during their sandwich stop in Florence - it became "dinner" 😂😂
We're an odd bunch us brits... Dinner, tea, lunch. Take your pick 😂
Kudos to the crew behind the scenes. The video and music were great.
Get him over for an epic ride, and a chippy tea. Brilliant content, these two work so well together, another epic gcn film.
Third time I've watched this. Simply stunning. Thanks guys.

Amazing!! The chemistry between them was lovely. Can u post the track or komoot, thank u🤗
This is the kind of GCN videos I love the most!
Great to hear! What else would you like to see from us? 👀
Alain's confusion when Ollie said, "we're going to Alain's Momma's house for tea". Just perfect!
I was feeling a bit low, health issues, no cycling for now.
But I feel much better after watching your excellent video
Thankyou 👍
What a fabulous day out making so many people so envious 😍
Great fun Ollie and Alan....funny that Alan was not thrilled with your Tower of Pisa shots, as a tourist move...Ollie's response..I AM A TOURIST...BUONA DIA, guys 💟💟
Fantastic film.
As a follow-up, I want to see Alan come over to the UK for a chippy tea at the end of a long ride!
They could do the Whitehaven to Tynemouth C2C, plenty of decent places for a chippy tea there!
Alan is such a lovely genuine guy. Hope to see more of him on GCN. (Olli is ok too!)
Brilliant video! It doesn't get more epic than traversing the Italian peninsula. Quite impressive fitness on show too!
Big day out for the boys 💪
Great Video entertainment. Epic Ride. Kudos to both Alan & Ollie.
Good day to you!
I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan.
I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video.

Have a nice day my friend!
Thanks for this video, a beautiful spot for Italy, Wilier and Italian style!
im living in Sweden and im from Tuscany it made me emotional thank you the best video I love this content
More of this please!
Where should we send Ollie and Alan next? 🗺
A great 'feel good' cycling video. Thank you.
Another beautiful video, thank you GCN
Enjoyed this one greatly - nice work lads; and thanks for the Italian lessons 😊

Wonderful. Just wonderful. Inspirational too.
This is all about the enjoyment of cycling!!! Thanks guys for sharing your beautiful ride without the saftness of having to compete all the time.
We love all aspects of cycling, racing is just one bit 🙌
Beautiful filming & editing, bravo 👏
i watch a lot of GCN vids boys.....this was a really good one. i started feeling the flow.
Ollie - living my dream life!😂 So I don't have to? 😂😂😂😂
Great film of a fabulous ride. Cheers.
Lovely ride. Have cycled from Piza down the west coast to Mezzina - wish I was back there! Lovely video - the sea water looked such a great after a long ride!
I bet it was nice and refreshing! Makes us all wish it was summer right now!
Tuscany is just, i dunno, the best. I love it!
Great video! Love the scenery and the bike in actions.
Epic. Absolutely inspiring video. Thank you
Fancy heading out on a ride like this? 👀
Wow, one of my favourite video!!
What an awesome ride. I’ve been to Italy a few times and always say I’d love to ride over there….one day.
An amazing ride, is the map/route posted somewhere? Big fan of GCN:) Keep up the great work.
Fantastic video! Thanks to Wilier and GCN! Ollie as always fantastic!
He's a real professional... he loves this stuff 🙌
I did much of this section as part of my 1000 mile Italian tour this past summer! A stunning ride!
Just brilliant in every way !!!
So very jealous. It's 36F (2C) in Seattle and raining. Supposed to snow later. I'm trying really hard to motivate my bike ride... but...
Go for it! Although I think a lot of us are thinking the same at the moment!
Thanks for the warm sun &view .
The travel videos are some of my favorite GCN videos.
Where should we send the team next? 🌎
Take my hat off to the production team, thankyou!!
Amazing!!
Absolutely awesome video guys! Loved it
What a fantastic episode ❤️
Chapeau! This was a great watch.
The ride looks very nice and speaking of nice its great to see Ollie open and have fun.
He's not all numbers and stats... there is a fun loving bike rider in there somewhere 🙌
