10 Miles In Under 19 Minutes - Can We Ride At Tour De France Speed?

In 1988, Colin Sturgess set a legendary 10-mile time trial record of 18:48 on a standard road bike. Today, Alex, Si, and Ollie are attempting to beat that historic benchmark by working together as a team on the world-class Orbea Orca Aero. To pull this off, they’ll need to maintain an average speed of over 31.5mph on the famous R10/17 course in South Wales—watch to see if modern tech and teamwork can overcome one of cycling's toughest records. 🤝 In collaboration with @Favero_cycling 👉 https://gcn.eu/faverocycling Chapters: ⏱️ 00:00 - The Sub-19 Minute Challenge 00:50 - The History of the 10-Mile TT 01:40 - Meet the Legend: Colin Sturgess 02:29 - The Tech: Orbea Orca Aero 03:10 - Crunching the Numbers: Strategy Meeting 05:39 - The Course: R10/17 Abergavenny 07:08 - The Attempt 11:43 - The Final Result: Did We Beat It? 12:50 - Power Data & Metrics Breakdown Useful Links: Join this channel to get access to perks 👉 https://gcn.eu/JoinYTmemberships Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing! 👉 https://gcn.eu/subscribe Insurance: Viewers in the USA and UK can explore GCN Insurance products 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNinsurance Sign Up To The GCN Newsletter 👉 https://gcn.eu/Newsletter GCN Uploader 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnuploader Visit the GCN Shop 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnshop GCN WhatsApp Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNwhatsapp GCN Instagram Broadcast Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/instagrambroadcast Join the GCN Club on Zwift and ride with us! 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNClubRides Colin Sturgess set that incredible 18:48 record solo on 1980s tech.
