Whether it’s cornering, descending, battling for position, or simply working one’s way through the bunch, bike handling is an integral part of pro racing. And while all the pros are proficient, some are better than others. When asked which pro is the best bike handler, many answered Peter Sagan. Others, however, answered Danny Summerhill… including Danny Summerhill? Watch for yourself.

Get a long technical decent and get summerhill and Sagan etc to go record
there best time – top gear style. I would say Sagan will win. I’ve seen him
do things others can’t.
SUMMERHILL VS SAGAN DOWNHILL would be sick; Sagan had some awesome descents
in the last TDF
1:57 that’s my thoughts too :D
I like the content of GCN but it’s pretty annoying being asked to click
certain parts of the video to subscribe as I only ever watch using the app
on my iPhone. I bet 90% of GCN viewers are using a mobile device where
clicking on someone’s face or bike just does not work! Makes the comical
click me instructions at the end completely redundant….
bre
Peter Sagans good but Zdenek Stybar (including his 2 u-23 titles) is a 5
time world cyclo cross champion! Surely this makes him the best bike
handler?
Totally got distracted by the girl in the back of the truck at 2:30, didn’t
hear a word the American guys was saying.
Danny Summerhill really… lol
Peter could wheelie and beat him.
Most promising bike handler is probably Bardet, can’t wait to see what he
develops into in the future.
what about Sagan?
Typical for an American to vote for himself as the best bike handler. He
was totally not kidding.
Pinot of course!
