You guys are so focused on the one on one duel between Tadej and Jonas…you aren’t giving enough attention to the Visma and UAE Teams. I think this is personal for Jonas and he’s upped his game to try and match Tadej…the edge could be the Team role players. Relook at Stage 14 from the Giro for a little preview. I think it’ll be close…I’m going with Tadej in Paris…But Stage 20 should be exciting.
1:07:30 Legion are not cool anymore, haven't been for a while.
If you were an owner, it's a very disappointing sponsorship.
Tarmac SL9 will be raced for the 1st time this weekend @. Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes so most likely we will see the embargo lifted before Sunday , some riders know how a Tarmac rides and some other can only guess, the ones who been busy promoting and advertising for the Asian Brands are upset they not invited to this party and even crying that Quick Pro rejected them . What a fantastic day for the Nero Show Brand
Love the low down on quick pro
I dunno if it's my mood or what but my favorite episode in a long while… and I'm not even into gravel. lol
Chris – nice referral to David Arthur “the Crux crowd” 😂
The white Gen8 Madone rider is absolutely right! I've seen the current Madone twice in Vienna and one of them is more than likely the presented bike🤣
Why was the TREK allowed into DOFB when it is in the wrong gear for a photo, it is offensive
Keegan is team specialized & got 5th…
So true about Quick pro, their brand lacks character
Seems everyone has suddenly forgotten the crash of 2024 that wiped out Pog's competition for a long time. The reason he was such a gap on the opposition in 2024/5 was because there was none.
Thank Starlink for making the technology to get live camera feeds in the middle of nowhere.
My first ER one frame was bad and Panda facilitated the warranty.
Loving the sweater
Question to the ahyka aero bottle owners.
Do your bottle rattle too when riding harsh tarmac, small potholes or going off and on a curb when riding bike path traffic lights?
Jeez, you guys criticize everything you’re not selling.
In terms of legacy, I believe that Jonas secured his legacy with his victory at the Giro and joining the club of winners of all three grand tours. I don't believe that the legacy of Jonas would change if he wins another TdF….I think it would be fantastic, but it does not change his legacy.
If Seixas wins the TdF, he will be appointed Emperor Supreme of the Country of France for all eternity.
Mads had massive injury problems the previous years on world tour.
Loved the Quick Pro chat 😂 You guys shilled the heck out of that brand and got ignored in the end. Poor Joe got screwed too. Looking forward to the Tavelo gravel bike shill soon.
Roval gravel wheel internals are for road 32 or 35. Specialized definitely wasn’t looking at trends with tires when they designed that wheelset.
chris, you’ve really gotta get out on some single track. if a section catches you out, session it. we can’t keep hearing about “oh i’ve got no bike handling” if you’re not going to train to improve

Well, if you know the Williams' and Legion, you'll know just how 'On brand' that is.
You tube live chats are the best. Cocodona this year was crazy
Crux 5 is a sick bike not to mention Specialized team has all the best riders.
Lots of Legion rides the Saturday group ride where I live. Quick Pros are becoming more and more common on that ride. The origin of those bikes never come up on the ride but there's no brick and mortar location to buy a quick pro. Building up a custom bike in the US has a massive penalty when it comes to groupsets so I can see where the quick pro USA gets traction here. I doubt there will be a brick and mortar presence in the US excepting shops that decide to import on their own.
I agree with Chris re:TDF. If Jonas can beat Tadej in his prime one more time (while also winning the Giro/Tour double), that will elevate his legacy considerably.
I think Madone Trek bikes are gimmicky and deserve no credit for being desired bikes
Dylan Johnson will need to add 'getting some team mates' to his checklist.
How does Pidcock go at unbound? He's not winning a tour, an early gravel switch for the little guy
The world doesn’t revolve around your sphere of media. Quick bikes and their parent company have been making bikes for decades. Hundreds of thousands are riding them domestically in China. Many others are buying and riding globally. Your sphere is not the mainstream for many people.
QP is so washed. Just buy a used Tarmac SL7/8, Propel/Reacto or Aeroad with some Di2 variation and get on with it. Enjoy and ride it for years. The market is flooded with stock for the cheap.
Why even publish the counterfeit Dura Ace wheels? This should not have been shown.
I bought my ER one due to the review from the Nero show.
The amount of ads i get on the vid is getting out of hand
It goes 1-2-3 at unbound and all i’m going to say is races are won by legs, not bikes. Kegan can win on a Surley.
Whats to say that they're not investing their own money into these builds or selling them at a loss…like you guys claimed Xlab was doing a couple videos back? Are they doing the same thing? Inconsistent narrative here fellas…
JV needs to beat Tadej, if he wins the TdF but no Tadej – its less impactful on his career. Similarly to the Giro, great win, but doesnt mean a whole lot since Tadej wasnt there. JV needs to win TdF and beat Tadej at the same time. That reignites the rivalry, because right now, I do not believe that its even close, Tadej is still on another level.
