Why Was Ollie Dropped in 4 Roadies Vs A Time Trial Bike? | GCN Investigative Dropumentary
Being dropped. Falling off the back. Getting spat. Whatever you call it, getting dropped on a bike ride is never fun. It's even less fun when you work for GCN and the whole ordeal is caught on camera. Sadly, that's what happened to Doncaster's own Ollie 'Who's off the back?!' Bridgewood when he attempted to help Conor, Alex, and Hank beat Si in our recent 4 vs 1 challenge. But what actually happened? How did someone so disciplined with his training crumble so quickly? How did the self proclaimed 'King of Aero' get dispatched almost immediately? You'll have to watch to find out...

Do you believe Ollie's excuses?
Don’t worry you didn’t let me down
Ollie your the best 😀🤙🤙
No
OUTSTANDING episode!!💯❤️🏋🏾♀️🚴☯️🙏🏾
If they bump Ollie from the squad for the vext video, he should get Si a rear disc wheel.
Strong words from someone who let his own mustache down
An emotional documentary
Ollie wished he stayed at Cycling Weekly
Hope you get another chance on your areo bike Ollie. Your still my favourate GCN presenter ;)
Is this a joke?
@GCN, I've had a great idea.... How many presenters on mountain/gravel bikes will it take to beat Ollie on a TT bike. Let the prophet of aero have his time in the skin suit...!
Why not just do 4 on 1 with Ollie on the TT and Si in the chase group? That will tell you what kind of advantage a TT bike has.
only way to settle this is for a rematch
Come on guys, just admit it - Si is a better rider.
Er...Was I the only one who saw Ollie put in a monster turn initially in an all or nothing attempt to reduce or overturn the deficit. Nice one Ollie, that was a proper nuclear Watt bomb, shame the others let you down.
Ollie is GCN!
love it, it's so rediculous.
haha!
I feel like I'm the only one who didn't noticed ollie was dropped lol
He probably just stopped for a cup of coffee 😂
5 vs 1. bring it on.
It was all on account of a calendar mishap. Ollie thought it was the Hangover Challenge day!
I died about 100 times during this video.
Not smart enough that’s why😊
Love Hank’s sportscaster voice at the end there 😂
Well, Ollie is still the best presenter. Which is basically the job of all of them. which makes Ollie THE BEST.
I love Ollie's mannerisms.. this was great and that mud guard probably did him in...
Why can't you guys show your audience how teamwork is done ? Is it so cool to prove that young ex-pros always have an edge even over talented amateurs ? How about a follow-up that gets teamwork across? Olliver Bridgewood brings tons of value to your content. I can't really relate to pros but Ollie makes you guys accessible. Bit off track in my eyes.
lol
I think this TT bike thingy can be a base of video series that happened in the GCN cycling universe.
If GCN does a book on Time Trialing, will Ollie's photo be on the back cover? ;-)
ONCE MORE ONTO THE BREACH MY FRIEND!! Where is ollie? Is he gone? He's gone. Oh. Whoops. WE'LL HAVE TO GO ON WITHOUT HIM!!!
REMATCH!!!!!!
It's coming!
He looked like an abandoned child trying to get back on Mama's wheel... Very sad sight.
He'll get there!
This might be my favorite GCN video ever. I am dying. 🤣 I definitely think the aero helmet will help Ollie.
Ollie's working on it!
Did all of the team members finish BEFORE the TT bike? If not, I say you didn’t win.
They didn't win anyway...
😂😂😂 you're better than us mortals Ollie! Keep your head up!
“More draft ales 🍺 the night before” this is a common misunderstanding among my group. Recovery ride to recover from hangovers.
"I know I'm rubbish, but not that rubbish", LoL!! :) The line I had to keep telling myself after getting dropped on my first group ride by a bunch of 60+ year old dudes with really shiny and pretty bikes LoL. I thought these guys were all talk and over the hill, but they dropped me after the first hill. To add insult to injury, two of them doubled back after the 32 mile ride to bring me back, thinking I got lost or experienced a mechanical. So I know your pain, Ollie!! You're not rubbish, LoL!!
I love you Ollie
Rigged Race! Make Ollie Great Again 2021! 🤣
Let's try again!
LOOOL Lovely guys!
We love you Ollie
Lots of drafting from the camera bike too. Si really smashed them!
All jokes aside, Ollies hour record was really really impressive!!! Rock on Ollie!!!
5vs1 will eventually have a moment when frontrider drop the chain and it is stack of 5.😬
Because he sucks. Next video.
hilarious 🤣 Ollie is such a good sport 👍
Ollie is great, and so what if he didn't have the legs that day? That said I would CERTAINLY watch a series based around training Ollie until he grows massive leg muscles.
I love the vid so funny aha
I can't imagine getting dropped and then having my friends making a full on documentary about why it happened
boys I think you need to repeat that race and ollie you need to redeem yourself boy I will wait for that you got a nice Pinarello bike use that mate, or the awesome gold trek madone sl6
i watched it three times
lol, classic
Smacks of tongue in cheek but all the same the lad was asked to fill in at short notice and then you turn on him. Great incentive for anyone not sure about group riding?
I love you Ollie
There must be a rematch
I was not your fault Ollie . There will be winning and losing in life .we love you Ollie
Hang in there Ollie, you are still really awesome 😂
This is a teachable moment missed- you x-pro's need to give him another crack at it but after filming your expert instruction for him.
Poor Ollie, We love you! Ollie's presence on GCN just shows that normal Humans can play with the big boys/girls. He is our hero, our Ironman! Ollie, this song is for you. seworld.info/will/Zpq90ZyZo511nYk/video
😂
😂
😂
looking forward to next challenge!
I would love to see another video where Ollie gets another try
this is perfect
Sooo, The 4 vs 1 was really 3 vs 1 (since Ollie only did 1 turn) and they only lost by 2 seconds....so they don't really need a 5 vs 1 but a different 4 vs 1 (or Ollie with improved team TT technique).
unfortunately some poor leadership on Hanks part. thinking of himself more than the team.
Love this Dropumentary - Manon...get in with them boys and shake it up!
Reminded me a lot of documentary now lol
lol, this is great. you guys should do a true crime podcast.
Has Ollie got tomato sauce on his mouth? 🤔
Finally a docu worth seeing several times over. Addressing important topics in a journalistic fair way, no underdog Ollie bias yet no shaming. Well done. Serious investigative journalism is all too rare these days.
This is the best storyline ever.
hard work made him quit
Quite possibly one of the top 50 dropumentaries so far this year.
I love the vid so funny aha
It is hard getting back on the train after putting in a hard effort on the front, but it is a learned skill.
You got to love Ollie! I say try the 4 man again with Ollie.
The whole GCN team vs the fastest GTN team member?
This video was hilarious, ever group ride has an "Ollie", I'm not going to comment if that Ollie has been me before....
Do a doc on all the KOMS Ollie has lost to fellow GNC riders lmao
Loved the concept
To keep up with them I would have turned up with my aero electric bike bought just for the race. Lightweight bike? Lol
This was an outstanding one! Thank you! As always, great edition but this time the footage is brillant too :)
More excuses than a formula 1 driver. Good stuff.
Not taking yourselves too seriously! Love it:-)
Time for the Global Hank Network to emerge!! Belter. Love you guys
Love the closing threat of Manon! I hope she crushes it!
This is GOLD!
Ollie, face it mate, you we're pulling the head off it the night before... Shame on you... Bad boy!
I love that there was an enquiry!!! Very funny!!
Yeah go Manon show them how is done
They need TTT practice not a 5th person. Without practice the 5th person will mess up cohesion on the corners and rolls even more than happened in the team of 4.
The whole GCN team vs the fastest GTN team member?
I will be seriously disappointed if GCN doesn't come out with a "it was the mudguard" t-shirt...
1:10 "Watt Bombs" and Ollie. Never thought I'd hear those words ever, Ever, EVER combined.
I was once in your shoe olie don't give up bro 💪💯🤛 and y'all still a team ok🙏🇱🇦
All black&white except the magenta! Like it!
What food have you eaten Ollie? Looks like tomatosauce was included!
Ollie is the MAN !
Ollie is brilliant, videos with him and Hank are so funny.
The gang that couldn't ride straight, excuses excuses, next tell us that gravity changed while Si was out on the course. How about getting Ollie an ebike so he can keep up.
I think the problem really lies with james. He's toooo eager to show everyone he can ride fast and by doing so killing the fluent turns
What a strange video. It's like Ollie got dissect like a lab animal on a lab bench.
Yes. If you have no TT experience you WILL GET DROPPED. That’s why teams practice mucho. No practice needed to ride alone if an experienced TTr
