Who loves this new Orbea Orca Aero?

@dr_oliverb called in today with his stunning new Orbea Orca Aero, with a nice layer of Lake District dirt.

We are looking forward to seeing plenty more of these seriously fast bikes leave the shop. taken in Strada by @dr_oliverb

When @dr_oliverb comes to HQ, you know it’s going to be a good day.

We had the @globalcyclingnetwork team in for a look behind the scenes at Gtechniq, showing them what goes into the products they trust on their bikes.

Swipe to see a few moments from the day 📸

GCN's @dr_oliverb took 8th at @fredwhittonchallenge in 5:43:10, tackling the Lake District's infamous climbs. ⛰️💪

Ollie worked with PF&H Sports Scientist Chris to build his race plan during the build up. His gut training clearly paid off, as he hit 106 grams of carb per hour with zero GI issues across nearly six hours.

His hydration was dialled in too. Despite dropping a full bidon on a pothole mid-race, he still finished with just a 2.1% bodyweight loss, right in the sweet spot for avoiding dehydration related performance decline. 🎯

Some cramp sensations crept in over the last 10 miles, but after five-plus hours of repeated 20% gradients, that was likely due to neuromuscular fatigue rather than a fueling issue.

He was still riding strong to the finish. 🚀

Absolutely mega day at the @fredwhittonchallenge with @alanma1984 and @bernatfm trying to convince them and rest of Italy and Spain that cycling in the UK isn’t Sh*t.
Just as well we didn’t have a random, and exceedingly rare rainy day, and the weather was the ever predictable sunshine, like it usually is. 👌😎☀️.

Vids coming soon on @globalcyclingnetwork youtube 😉 Big thanks to all the volunteers who make this event happen 👊 @lakesroadclub taken in Hardknott Pass by @dr_oliverb
