MTB Vs Road - Who Is The Best Cyclist? Road Race Edition

Описание: Which discipline creates the best cyclist: road or mountain biking? To find out, we took GMBN's Fergus Ryan, an incredibly skilled mountain biker with zero road racing experience, and threw him into the deep end: a high-speed criterium race.
With a top-spec road bike and some last-minute coaching from Alex, Fergus had to learn the art of pack riding, cornering on skinny tyres, and race tactics in a matter of hours.
Did his off-road power and bike handling skills translate to the tarmac, or did the roadies teach him a tough lesson? This is the ultimate test of road vs. MTB!

Stay tuned for Part 2, where Alex heads over to GMBN to tackle a downhill mountain bike race!
