Video: Conor Dunne & Nigel Kelly get wheelie lessons from Sam Bennett

The dynamic duo: The on-screen chemistry between Conor Dunne and Nigel Kelly, filming out of Carrick-on-Suir, is really working well in these GCN videos

There are two things to be said about Sam Bennett; he's extremely fast and his wheelie game is very good.

So when Conor Dunne and Nigel Kelly needed a lesson in how to pull a wheelie, what better man than Bennett, their neighbour in Carrick-on-Suir?

Incredibly, though Dunne is a former pro ride and Grand Tour finisher, he's never been able to do a proper wheelie.

Bennett, on the other hand, spends a decent chunk of his time on mountain stages pulling wheelies to the delight of crowds at the roadside.

He has even obliged with some wheelie action for the fans going up the hellish Monte Zoncolan, which you can see here. And when he rode the Tour de France he also couldn't resist popping a couple on the Tourmalet, which you can review here.

In the GCN video below Bennett gives Dunne some nuggets about wheelie technique to get him started. We'll let you judge how successful that effort was...
