Si was equipped with the road specific thoroughbred Orbea Orca, and Ollie had the all-new, gravel specific, Canyon Grail. The increased tyre width and specific geometries helped Ollie in the off-road sections but the Orca's efficiency meant Si excelled on the tarmac. This was to be a close battle between two very competitive presenters!
