Really fun to see and hear your thoughts about the stages. We went unprepared (without a recon) to the start of each stage. We only had your video’s of the recons during our Zwift hours at home a week before. Thanks for this! 😉
My mate Pim Hackmann crashes his rear rim in a descent on day one without a airliner inside of his tire. I rode with a airliner in the rear and without in the front.
Super nice race, thanks for the video’s afterwards and riding together some moments during the race! 👊🏼
Riding a hardtail! Omg
Much cred for that!
Nice overview for both of your races and take aways.
Nice comrade.
