GCN+ Legend

When Philippe Gilbert completed a clean sweep of the Ardennes one day classics in 2011, he wrote himself into the history books as just the second man, and first Belgian, to achieve the feat. Now, the King of the Ardennes is the King of the Côte d’Azur, and Dan Lloyd is heading out to Monaco to meet him. Gilbert was one of the great entertainers, mixing raw power and ability with a panache and attacking instinct that thrilled fans and proved an inspiration to a whole generation of cyclists. As Dan spends time with Gilbert at his bike shop and in the hills around his adopted home, Dan gets the inside story from Gilbert’s victories in four of pro cycling’s five monuments, and a world championship; a record unmatched in the modern era.

Sean Kelly. The King. Possibly the greatest Classics rider of all time. Beginning with his iconic wins on the cobblestones of Flanders in the mid 80s, Kelly went on a winning streak like no other rider of his era, including one crazy summer in 1986 where he seemed to win almost everything. Dan Lloyd joins Sean in Ireland to celebrate his greatest triumphs, reminisce about the ones that got away, and find out about his formative years growing up on a farm.
