EPISODE #175
I’m back at it with the TGV boys… with yet another epic 200km battle, this time made even more wild by the fact we are joined by Movistar Pro cyclist Ruben Guerreiro. This guy is a proper local legend around here and a long time friend of the TGV… but he’s not playing nice, he comes to stir up the group ride by absolutely smashing it to bits… thanks mate!

what camera set up do you use my friend?
Smashing it, T. Respect from a cold and wet UK!
One thing I think would be great to see, is on the long, fast segments, is if you could pop the speed in the bottom corner for us to see how on the rivet you are. I glanced about 60 km/h around the 14 min mark, but couldnt be certain.
Mad respect for hanging at that pace. Ace video 🙏🏻👍
Nice one. No mega edit is more authentic (IMO). Those TGV guys are a serious pain train.
Great video! The pace looks insane!
epic ride
What camera settings do you use on your GoPro? Do you use an ND filter?
Thomas, this was the most hardcore TGV lap we had in 2024, while Troia Sagres was a constant progress, yesterday the last 90km we did an average of 42 km/h, from Vendas Novas to Moita, it was without a doubt another brutal overcoming for all of us .
Your video is simply powerful and real, it's not easy to film with the intensity we had on this tour, it was really demanding. Congratulations, thank you very much for your videos, they are excellent.
The TGV saga continues in 2025, we will have an even more exciting second season 😁.
Damn that is fast..
Superb filming really can’t get enough of your amazing rides. Born near Fatima and living in Canada. Love to see the ride Portugal has to offer.
Thx and keep it up
Nice finish in Moita and good video 👌
Another great video… story telling is the key… format differences don’t matter! Keep up the great work… we all enjoy. One quick question… on average how many watts do you save drafting that big group? Would be interesting to know your average power rising those speeds on your own vs what you need to put out in the back of that pack.
It's mad how fast that is I've done a 220k ride before at 30kph with 3 of my friends… Can't imagine what it would be like to do the route 10k faster
Красавчик 🔥👍
Preferred the rough and ready style! Great stuff 🙂
Love this style,make life easy,n keep it real 👍
thank you that was beautiful many thanks and love your way
Epic once again Thomas! I liked that style of video I gotta say… Nice to mix up edits from time to time!🤘🏻
Great Video, You defo should have more subs,look like a great set of lads there. Well done Thomas.
One more ride tomorrow Thomas! We wait for you again. the last of the year!
That you can video your rides while putting the hammer down is amazing! Thank you for your outstanding videos!🚴🏻♂️👏💪❤️
Amazing footage as always. It feels so fast in the middle of the group. Must be even more difficult for you to film and ride. It is also amazing to be in the midst of the TGV and scooping up riders along the way. Best way to go to end of the year. Keep them coming and have a wonderful start of year.
Yeah really cool and he’ll fast….
That was cool, could really tell the speed without the music!
That said, your music is always decent, so keeping it different is no bad thing 🙌
Nice video, Thomas! Muito frio, muleque!
group ride with a support car – that´s fine
100% watchable and if you hadn’t said anything about the editing I wouldn’t have said it was of any lesser quality. Please dont spend 12hrs on a video again. Looking fresh with a clean shave too 😊
Is that maap kit for sale yet for us plebs?
Nice video man, great content. When are we seeing a new ftp test 🤩
Love the video! Do anything and your followers will love it, mate. Nice one.
How are you at 190 hr and still talking?
almost 40kph average speed- these guys are damn good!
It’s good as Thomas either way
Ps
That group is unreal and very scary then throw in the movie star pro oops pain train 👍👌❤️
Have a great new year mate from Australia 🇦🇺 TGV what a bunch of guys
Fair play being able to speak with an HR of 190, whenever mine has got that high I couldnt talk to myself nevermind anyone or anything else lol
Back in the 80s I was out on a spin and met sean Kelly with a friend of his, a small group of us went along at what I thought was brisk untill sean said nice chatting with ye lads I have to go and off he went with his friend and left what at the time we thought were fit fast lads for dead and he wasn't even trying.
Good on ya sean a great and decent and down to earth fella, and we seen the real difference between pro and what we thought were fast riders.😊
Well played mate!
Great video Thomas. Liked the style and content, so keep it up. Happy New Year 🎉
Yeah this is the first time I seen your channel I think but this style is good, no complaints, actually got me looking at more videos
Looking like a proper poser in the maap gear. The Victoria Beckham of the group.
Thank you cycling algorithm for bringing me here channel looks great! Happy new year!
You were able to talk during all the filming which says it wasn't that hard. LOL 😉 You could've gone harder!
I like this !
Great video and commentary. He said it best. You don’t know what a tough ride is until your ride with the pros.
Hardmen always seem manage. Attitude dictates altitude. Well done mate!
Geart ride and really enjoyed the vid! Keep them coming.
i am curious, what was the avg power?
