🥵Was that harder or easier than what you were expecting? 👀 Let us know in the comments!
-
Joining Visma for a training session in Tignes, dude is literally living the dream 😊
-
A one hour warm up around 250 watts, I'd be cooked after the warm up 🤣 Keep up the great videos 👍
-
The idea of doing this brutal training in the beautiful french alps is equally amazing and terrifying to me...5 hours, good grief
-
Ended by absolutely hitting the nail on the head. A lot would be able to do that session but doing it day in day out is why the pros are as good as they are.
-
Ollie is looking more pro than the pros with every ride! He will be in white shorts before you know it! 🎉
-
Such a good video...really strong rider too, my FTP is your Zone 2 haha Incredible riding Ollie, making so much progress with your riding, good work!
-
Excellent video Ollie! 👏👏👏 The training regimen details and explanation about the "why" of the specifics is quite educational. More content like this please! 👍
-
let's face it, Ollie got way fit. He's added over 100W to his FTP while he's been presenting on GCN. Inspirational.
-
GCN, that was so well shot and edited! As always a great presenter and content too, well done all
-
We need a before and after video of Old...When he started at GCN and him now!

AMAZING !!! Keep up the great work !!!
-
You are a machine Ollie! Beautiful scenery, awesome video!
-
Such a beautiful place to train ❤ Well done Ollie!
-
Superb vid, more of this content 👏
-
Great content and definitely a bucket list place to ride for us mere mortals!!
-
Amazing Footage! Same style of filming by broadcasters during a grand tour would be highly appreciated.
-
I found this really helpful. I’ve always had the thought that I must empty myself. I’m going to give those intervals a try
-
The best line from Ollie “ the pros don’t stop for cafe”!! Beautiful!!
