Oh what a long day finally made it I’m very much looking forward to sleeping in that it is hot here it is boiling I’m going to jump in the shower tomorrow the boys arrive can’t wait catch you in the morning Hello I’m R in a golf cart just gave me a lift to your house my house what do you think of my house this is a very nice hotel yes yeah we mean to go on why did you not have a shirt on um because

It’s very warm in here it is 8:20 in the morning and it is like 30° what the hell I packed my box meticulously took me hours taped it all up and then America untaped it and it for TSA thanks I thought I was friends with him I have TSA pre-check they

Should have been like royalty here I packed it too well oh hello oh I got scratched it does go WR whoops Brown I was trying to get a Malaysian SIM card your youo eim is now active they use chili sauce I asked them for the biggest water they had I’m like a raisin Ben welcome to Malaysia I see you’ve got the T-shirt to match very well prepared

Yeah how was your flight out of 10 from Newcastle to Dubai was absolutely great from Dubai to here every everything that could have gone wrong went wrong I’ve got you a present woo ra hanger pedals yes you have saved the day with it you know without this I couldn’t I couldn’t

Run that tailin and I’d be B backpacking spare ma hanger time every time I went in this little bag to get a wire out I was pushing that to the bottom like don’t you dare fall out what’s the plan now now now that we’re all here we’re

Waiting for a guy yeah called AAL who’s got a pickup truck space three bikes three people and hopefully him as well I’m going to go to Georgetown which is in the north how long has the drive been four hours in it looking forward to sitting down more even more after your

14 hours of flying now it’s actually it’s actually the same as Newcastle to London isn’t it 278 mil I feel like this is a short drive after doing all that Fight keep your yeah what about that not bad for an Ibis right A lot has been happening recently over the last few weeks so this is a bit of an update a slightly shorter video than usual so obviously wiggle going bankrupt over the last few weeks has

Been pretty headline news but not just wiggle Chain Reaction but also all of the brands that sit below it which is you know dhb nuke proof I believe Prime and also vtus which is obviously the one that affects me the most having um lost one of my key sponsors now look this

Obviously has massive massive implications for the cycling industry not just for all the poor people who have lost their jobs but also because of all the work that’s gone into these fantastic Brands over the years personally it was a real honor and privilege to work with such a great

Brand such as Vitas there are some incredible people let me tell you behind the scenes of that company and we worked very closely on on a lot of things including all of our more stories to more adventures with with Tom and Anna but this one hurt it’s uh it touched

Quite back close to home now the three of us have all arrived at this hotel we can now head to our next destination but all this has kind of come out of nowhere right so yeah you’re right and behind the scenes I think a lot was going on

For a while I think it was late summer last year where one of the investors I think it was pulled out of of one of their payments and it and it left wiggle chain reaction with their hands tied and without much choice but to go into Administration since then they’ve been

In discussions with a whole host of buyers to talk through exactly what the the acquisition might look like and it’s only the last couple of weeks where it’s come out that Mike Ashley who is the owner of uh Sports Direct and Evans Group and all of the the big ones the

High streak change that you would have heard of has come forward and uh said that he’s he’s the one that’s that’s bought the the company so is yet to be seen exactly what he decides to do with all of the the names for everything and the intellectual rights and everything

Like that so I guess we’ll just have to stay tuned but what does it mean overall the business owes thousands and thousands of pounds to many vendors including harrybo and the likes of myself of which I’m very unlikely at this point to see a Penny you’re going to do this for 2 weeks yeah I can’t bre the air is thick the air is thick you can eat it have you felt how heavy this bike is go on feel it I want you to tell me that it’s also heavy yeah right can you lift

It even no I can’t camera’s not even in there yet these are brilliant so comfy but how much do they weigh you weighed them yeah I did they weigh I did 100 is that Al L you to re you’re so good it’s staying all the

Right yeah exactly we want to go to two I might actually see qu mean on the way to Georgetown almost forgot there we are stuck in traffic it is gridlocked I think we’re going to be here for a few hours it says we’re going to get there at

11:5 so we’re in for a long night guys I hope you’ve brought you snacks cuz I have but back to the wiggle thing everything happens for a reason and it’s not all doom Gloom because with change comes New Opportunities and with that a new opportunity in the sense of a new

Bike which I will show you very Soon can stretch hotel look they have a basking Robbins and a Dunkin Donuts what is a Baskin Robins I recognize that logo but I don’t know what it is and seanica you need um I would love to say we made good progress but we’ve done about 45 minutes
