@AndyElche Z2, Z2 and more Z2! I just kept my arm in the sling but bought a mesh one to help a bit with the sweat. I also didn’t like the turbo trainer because it felt too unstable and ended up buying a second hand Wattbike, which was a revelation and I still have it 7 years later.
English

So I don't have many followers😆 but I'd like to ask something to help my recovery from my crash and broken Cavicle
With one arm, I'm getting a turbo trainer tomorrow. How best to use it, to aid my fitness and recovery
As still got at least a month off bike

Split squats are the order of the day for Gladiator and cyclist 'The Giant' - should you add them to your workouts? trib.al/s6EzSbm

@bicycletherapy @RichardGlazer @nedboulting Nifedipine gave me a stinking headache so it wasn’t for me. Bar mitts have been a revelation though. They look ridiculous but I can ride without gloves in 2/3°C now.
English

@RichardGlazer @nedboulting What meds are they taking? I've been suffering for years and have tried some of the best gloves on the market for cyclists.

@gcntweet I emailed support on 20th December about not receiving an email with the 3 month trial code. This is the reply I got tonight from Discovery+ support. Customer service clearly not high on their priority list. Bring back GCN+ 🙁

English

@daniellloyd1 it seems some GCN+ subscribers have been sent emails with a 3 month trial of Discovery+. I haven’t received one. Any idea if the codes are single-use or can I just use someone else’s?
English

@daniellloyd1 Gutted for all of you involved. I hope we’ll still get some of you commentating and that GCN continues.

Thanks so much for all the kind messages today about the demise of GCN+. and the GCN app. You never know how much something is appreciated until it's gone - it's been heartwarming to read through them.
I'm devastated, obviously. Primarily for the incredibly hard working, talented people who are losing their jobs. They are passionate fans of the sport, just like the rest of us, and that shone through in their work.
I know there are lots of questions to answer - some of them are answered in the video on YouTube - but I'll try and broach some others.
ALL the racing that was on GCN+ will be found on WBDs digital channels in Europe (Discovery+/Eurosport depending where you are), and they're working on ways to show it to viewers outside of Europe. The Breakaway pre and post shows, and those in other languages, will continue on those platforms as before, and you'll be hearing the same familiar commentators there as well. Refunds will be given pro rata to current subscribers.
Thanks again to everyone for your support. ♥️

What I’ve learned so far…
So Eurosport & Discovery Plus will
be the same thing.
It’s £6.99 a month (or £29.99 a month if you’re loaded and want all the football)
It should have road (I don’t know about non WT races), CX, track.
There will be adverts?
Anyone know more?

Well fuck 😭

@writebikerepeat @daniellloyd1 This is shit. GCN+ has been superb and I’ve managed to see so many more races than I could have without it. Looks like everything is moving to Discovery+ at £6.99 a month with no annual option. Gutted for everyone involved.
English

No words for how rubbish this news is, and how negatively this will affect the enjoyment of so many cycling fans around the world. Most of all just gutted for you and the whole team @daniellloyd1. GCN has been a constant companion for the past couple of years.
English

@AJ_Brenes Same. Clicking not interested seems to do nothing except hide a single post. I’ve got no interest in football but keep seeing posts about it despite trying to hide it.

Wtf is with that barrier on the finish straight at the Vuelta a Burgos!?
One for you @HansenAdam

@nealrogers She was also cheering and running with @camerooney_ and all her other teammates 👏🏻

Loved seeing Evie Richards out on course, just after her own race, cheering on Tom Pidcock on the final lap of elite men’s XCO world championship #GlasgowScotland2023

@poursuivantuk @MATTEOTRENTIN He got back on the bike but when he was on the ground I think he said he thought his hand was broken 😞
English

Horrible looking crash right in front of where I was standing for @MATTEOTRENTIN on #MurDeMontrose today. Hope nothing’s broken apart from the glasses!
