My friend [Music] looking for his last patience with foreign people. He cannot find it. It’s gone. In Belgrade was nice. Nice coffee, a nice place. And now we are where I love to be in the mountains. Fresh air. Crazy drivers. Now we’re getting ready for dinner. What about the smell, Ali? Nice. Beautiful smell. Going to be so grounded and scented obviously. No expensive Starbucks, no crowded, no traffic jams, just expensive marketing manager. Yeah. Cut the organizer when they were marking the stage. Minatki look like Yeah. But so the meat is true. There are already bears. Tofu. Okay. So So we have to put I show you. There’s no ah the cheese with the meat is too much. I show you. It’s too much. No, I’m small. Sorry, I don’t work as hard as you small, but they eat a lot. Everyone eats a lot in Serbia. You must come in Serbia and you eat a lot. Would you like a meat or something like with eggs? Fish or something like that? [Music] You must try. What? I tell you it’s drink. Yeah, this is this one shot. If they don’t, if you don’t I wet and shut your If you don’t do it, it’s not polite. You have to drink it. You and you also. No, drinking. I’m the best. Yes, I know. Because this is the same way they kill you. If I win the state, I’m going to drive back his car to Belgrade and he’s going to drive back my bike. If I’m not going to win anything, then he’s going to bring my back and I’m going to ride back. The best I don’t know how to say cheers in Serbian. So, it’s everything in the eyes. She had a practice for like 12 years already. I think I can clean the chain also with I think it’s one time like really no I I thought it’s way stronger. I thought it but it’s no m welcome this area. This morning we had a photo shoot and we did some of the trails and I can tell you it’s natural, steep, very beautiful. It’s like a bit like the Arans in Belgium but then XL dense forest pine trees and no be yet luckily but we’ll see. Maybe I find one now and I’m going to take you on board give you an idea where I’ll be racing for the next few days. Oh, [Music] this is quite unique because this is my door, my house. And then if I walk down the stairs, I’m in the race office. So laziness xxl. It’s time to register to get a number and get this party going. [Music] from Belgium and I was really ready to go to to see this new places. I heard a lot of cool things about it from the team DMG. They came here last year and here I am ready to race. I’m going to do this tomorrow. Want to do 50 km and 1,286 m of climbing. But I have the feeling that’s going to be more cuz it’s all small and pinchy. And there’s a zunto section. There are three pizza zones and it’s going to be amazing. Makes sense. 1 0 0. What number? Lucky number one. Breakfast time. Ellie’s writing me a poet. Good morning from Serbia, the country of beers, mountains, and single track. Once upon a time there was this Dutch mountain biker that went to Ser. What happened will unfold in a story full of miracles, wonders and beautiful things that come on the spot. [Music] Welcome in this episode of Wildbear M versus Hans Becky. Ah, something really cool from Serbia. Plasma. You want to know why Serbian people are so strong? Plasma. No need for the rain jacket. Everything. Everything. [Music] What was the first part? Don’t speak with me. [Music] And to be who has won state one of the wild bear. It was very wet. This is this is quality. I don’t want to get my bike again cuz it’s so beautiful and shiny now. Wild bear. You know what’s wild? The terrain that is like maybe written three people in front of me. You see three lines. The moto, two ebikes and then me. So there’s no line. There’s no no nothing. Be careful. Yeah. So, I have to be really cautious. But I like it cuz some ways I sometimes I go sideways. It’s funny. Now it’s raining. Ellie is loving it. Now we’re going to get Chavati. Chavati. One done. Welcome ladies and gentlemen in day number two on Wild Beer. The good thing this morning I already met a new friend. Freda is my doggy friend and I’m preparing my packet. My breakfast for the race, some caffeine, some normal gels, some bars. Going to have 60 km. Let me bring you to the master bedroom. And here is the profile. As you can see, more than 2,000 m of climbing in 63 and a half kilometer. It’s drying up. The weather is a bit foggy now. It’s 8:00. We start at 10 every day. Very good to have the same start time every day. So, don’t get confused. And that’s it. And as you can see, there’s no mud today. Was very clean. Um, unfortunately, right after the start, my friend Marik had a flat tire, so I was all by myself and there was this climb in the middle. There was so steep. I didn’t like the Rogan at that moment, but I made it and I won again. So, I’m super happy with that. Last 20 km were a bit dangerous because I forgot to check my brake pads and my front brake pads were completely gone. So, this ones me without a mechanic. I’m not adult, but so I know what to do this afternoon. I’m going to play mechanics. And another beautiful day. Sun is here. DJ is here. H is here. New brake pads are coming. Oh, good. Time for food. [Music] I’m going to beat you. [Music] You want to say something, Ali? I just want to make him win. Okay, send them. I know that I want one question. Maybe one picture with you. Yeah. Thank you so much. Making pictures. Getting pictures. Congrats, guys. Congratulations, guys. The winner of the second stage event stages here at Nada National Bar, Sean Becky. [Music] [Applause] He has a big injury from his leg. I don’t know if he will be able to ride tomorrow. He’s almost not walking. [Music] Well, I cut my nails too short. And I’m a man. I have a low pain level. Now what happened is that I cut my nail and then a bit too short and then it’s a bit open and now two days in the mud with wet shoes it start to be a little bit infected and now my big toe feel like this bump and I am dying from pain but this is too fast I need to do even more pain. Oh okay. So we still here with this two issue with sodium b carbonate because my mom told me to use this and mom’s always know best. So mom if you’re watching I’m doing it. It’s here in the salad bowl. I hope the people don’t eat the salad in this bowl afterwards but I will clean it as good as I can. So sod bonat not only as a lactad buffer but also to heal my toe so I can go full ass tomorrow. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. This is very hard climb. It’s so the last days here in the sun is out. Good legs are out. I hope um we have 40 or 46 kilome and I know this beautiful downhill. It’s going to be amazing. This climb is very hard but let’s enjoy the last day. Let’s enjoy the amazing people and have fun. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] It’s been three really good. They gave me raia beer. Yes. The name was Marik. Come check the beer. [Music] We are here with Maza. This is another story the wild beer and with Nat and Mitra the organizers of of Wildbear. First of all, thank you very much for for having me. What is something more special about Wildbeer is that you are like taking personal care. And you also know all the riders by name and you want vegetarian food or you want to pick up from the airport or like everything is possible and that is really cool because normal the race offers this and then you have to organize or find out yourself and you guys are very open for for questions or recommend to go hiking in the mountains today or where’s the best restaurant this kind of stuff. So I think that that also makes a difference. Yes. We know sometimes it’s hard when you’re going in a new country to organize everything by yourself. So we have even the SIM card was waiting for me. Yes. Yeah. The SIM e and the SIM card and everything but so people can count on um transfer options, hotel options and everything. So once they come in Belgrade airport uh we can pick them up, we can transport them either in Belgrade or here at Dana and um it’s really the best and easiest way to come. So we are we are there to provide uh any any kind of information. Come to Serbia. [Applause] Yeah. Hence I will be very happy if we can change. Really? If you’re happy. But you can also keep this one. Really? Yeah. Yeah. No worries. Oh my god. No worries. Just my hand now. No. No. No worries.
