[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] By far the most the nicest life I’ve ever It’s 5:50 in the morning in Milan. We are It’s not It’s 5:50 in the morning in Jerona and we’re on the way to Milan. And this is what Jirona looks like. It’s early. Everybody’s sleeping except for this person. Right. I’m going to get the car, pack. We’re going to get to Milan, Tekken, and go straight to the cargo factory to pick up my brand new bike. You may or may not know which one it is. Stay locked. Let’s get it. We are also going to Milan for another reason. I’m going there to race the Poly Crit, which is a crit held in the center of Milan. And yeah, I’m going to be doing this on the brand new bike. So, let’s go. [Music] Milan in a couple hours. Let’s [Music] should really get to know the uh Terminal 2 L Pratt specialtity coffee that they serve here. It’s about as burnt as it gets. Hi. It’s nice here. My girlfriend brings a jacket and guess who ends up with it. Little do they know it, but these two things are going to absolutely carry seamless travel to Milan. Life is currently giving me many Italian lemons right now. First taxi driver, they didn’t want to put the seats down. Unfortunately, bribery is not working. I thought that might work in Italy, but took a while. Well, the hotel is plenty big enough for two. [Music] And now we’re on the way to the Pirelli HQ to pick up some tires. And then we’re on the way to the Konago HQ to build the bike. But as Would you drive that, Scott? Yeah, it’s my dream car, but I just haven’t told you yet. Especially the when it has a pops and bangs tune on it. That’s hot. Scat special. That’s hot. Hopefully you can do that with a W123 Mercedes-Benz. Love to be around your family. The goods have been collected. Shout out for a lot of the Australians live there. But even even nothing. My shape is only getting better by the cycling. I would run quick right now if I win. I would just have some. We’re at Vello Club No. And mate, what? We’re in the trophy room. I mean, I think they’ve won every race on the planet at this point. Look at this. What races haven’t they won is probably a better question here. What do we think? Do you think they won enough races, Scott? I feel like they didn’t win enough, huh? Some serious serious hitters here for sure. For all those wanting to know what VC stands for, Bellow Club. They look like some really clean ski pads, those definitely going to be not putting myself in the barrier there for the sake of my own health, I think, at this point. [Music] Rato, someone say bonjouro. I’m here to see Tomaso. It’s Elliot and Tomaso. One word. [Music] Thank you, Tomaso. I’ll just take this one. Struggle beyond this. 2026. Such a cool. It’s also your size. Yeah. It doesn’t look like Yeah. The cover looks insane. Like around like half past 6. All right. [Applause] I wait for a imperative and a negroni apparently. Yeah, the day you became a man. A real man. Apparently drinking Negroni. Apparel Spritz is not cutting the mustard anymore these days. Mojito and Apparel Spritz needs to they’re off the roster. I’m on these this bitter a closed chapter now. Yeah, apparently it’s a closed chapter. I’m on the real bitter [ __ ] now. Don’t know if I’m really looking forward to this. All I know that I am looking forward to is my new Y1 RS that is built and I will see it for the first time tomorrow morning. So I asked for the bill of this cake. So I don’t know what kind of bill this is. Anyway, we are going to try this. We we go for the lemonello, right? Cheers. Wait, wait. [Music] Very lemon chill. I don’t need anymore. This is what we are having for breakfast. This is Saturday, the day before the poly crit, and this is new bike day. It’s been finally built by the kind kind man Tomaso at Konaga who put in a huge stint to get this bike ready. And I I actually don’t really believe that I’ve got this bike to be fair. I’m actually a bit blown away by the color in person is incredible. We’ve gone for like a kind of a crazy setup on the uh gearing and yeah, it looks ultra ultra aggressive. I don’t know if I’ve got no minerals to be riding a bike like this if I’m really honest, but we’ll check in later. Yeah, it’ll just be interesting to see what this bike is like compared to all the other bikes that I’ve ridden. I’ve got a C68 km at the moment which you’ve probably seen on this channel before. Um I’ve ridden SL7, SL8, uh Pinellas. Um so it’ll be really interesting to see what this like and maybe a bit of a comparison. We’ll see. Also, we ate an incredible, incredible pizza last night and Tomaso has actually previously taken me to this place before and it was incredible and it was once again incredible yesterday. Um, I’ll put the link to the restaurant in the description. Whilst you’re at it, follow the thing at this like the Avola Pizza with Lardo. I believe that’s how I’m pronouncing it correctly. The Italians can get me in the comments, but yeah, it was utterly incredible. So, in light of the new bike that is on the roster, we are going to go do a day of shooting in Lake Coma. I’ve actually never been to Lake Coma. I’ve been wanting to go for a hot minute. And yeah, we’re going to get a massive mixture of shots for not only myself, but for Honago. And hopefully we get some crisp crisp late como shots. But yeah, takes a bit of pre-planning. That’s what we spend this morning doing in this fine establishment for a Red Bull and the biggest bottle of water we can find. Huh? They’ve only got this flavor. That doesn’t like this one. I can’t put that up. I like it, but only when I’m partying. Minerals secured. It’s [ __ ] cool. fuming. Come on, man. [Music] Go away. So Tomasa has just driven up driven us to the top of a bloody great big hill in the middle of Lake Kao. And apparently I’m about to ride down it. This guy has a Red Bull. I’m on the video mineral video. I would be I would bow down to that religion. I think this is the religion I’m about to be bowing down to though. Like come on. Look at this bike. I’m actually um This is unreal. I’ve got it here on my laptop. You can get this out. Appropriate footwear. Come on. I was just about to say in the game film it on. We need to go and we need to go to the church, don’t we? Over there. Yeah. I mean, we need to go and bless the bike. We need to give it to them so they can they bless the bike. I mean, it would be nice. Maybe change his shoes. Maybe. These are these are good. He’s racing with these shoes these days. Oh my god. It’s the new needs a wheelie as well. [Music] [Applause] It’s actually pretty good. [Music] Performance you think is a good decent. The brakes are completely new, huh? Yeah. Nice. This is by far the most the nicest bike I’ve ever owned in my life. For sure. By a country mile. Set them. That’s so cool. Yeah, they don’t care about now. Uh, we have a free access to the museum. Yeah. So, just create your own parking spot. Yeah. As you do. Tomaso is out here chatting with more Italian men’s that are excited about the bike. We’re at this insane museum and there’s a million caros here. Definitely some uh some some dealings going on in the background. Italian mafia, of course. Of course. But it’s incredible. I This is insane. Here we have the ice. [Music] Here we have three of the slightly more newer editions. Kagos. These are the bless you. These are the slightly newer editions. These are the V5 RS 1935. This is what they were rocking with. Honestly, they don’t look like they’ve changed a whole lot of much. What did you say it looked like, Scott? My everyday bike. Your everyday bike in Copenhagen. I think it Yeah, might be from the 1935. Look at the front derailer changer. That is insane. That is just such an insane bike. So insane. Tomasa said it looks like an SLA. He’s not wrong. They’re still going. Imagine if your arm goes inside. Yeah. Yeah. Chopped. Yeah. Yeah. Look at the crank set. I mean, it’s just one bike. They were well ahead of the time here. Good braking system. Oh, yeah. That’s really going to stop you, I reckon. So, they actually tried to get me to race one of these kind of bikes at Hone Hill once at Hornhill Vadrome. And uh yeah, I said no. I said I’d rather live to be fair cuz you like go into the back of the motorbike here and you ride on like a roller. But yeah, I would rather live. [Music] Thank you. Much appreciated. [Music] [Applause] We have all of you to die. We have ordered you to die. You have trust them. They have ordered you to die. The eyes do not trust them. They have ordered you to die. Ti trust them. It is a very good idea to leave a sinking ship. You were here. We were here. They lie to you. DI your wrist leader richer while you’re dying. Your helicopters fall from the sky like birds. Don’t trust them. We have ordered you to die. [Music] I have ordered you to die. Di discussing the bike for tomorrow. Yeah. I would like to point out that um he’s not in anger. We just let you know that the screw is not going up my He’s not going anymore. Okay. Yeah. Good to know. Good to know. Good to know. [Music] We have all of you to die. [Music] We have ordered you to die. So good. So good. Stop. Do not trust them. Do not trust them. Do not trust them. Isn’t it funny how we’ve ended up there? We’ve wrapped up at Lake Ko. It was actually a bad day to be Lake Ko and many many beautiful shots I believe have been. Now we’re coming back into a very gray Milan and going to get some going to get all get changed and go for dinner and enjoy the evening. We have a massive shout out for the chief cameraman over here who pulled an outrageous stint. Hang off the car. Hanging out of the side of the car. A professional. A true professional, I would say. You’re on the roster. Not dangerous at all. Not dangerous at all. She didn’t scream once. Try it at home. Don’t try this at home. [Music] All right. All right. All right. The flower vending machine. It is broken down. Ah, of of course like like we would be up one Ferrari today. Ah, it’s pretty. So, yesterday’s shoot was a wrap. We got everything we needed to get and the footage is looking dialed. Uh, I’ve had breakfast this morning. We’re on the way to sign on for the Polycrite and I’m currently roaming the streets of Milan. We’ve got quite a bit of racing ahead of us today and it’s going to start at 12:00 and finish at 7 and then the after party’s going to go. So, let’s get going. Cool car. Really cool car. Whilst I wait for my couch pepe to be made, I’m going to run you through this insane bike that I’ve got from Karago. I have got the Karago Y1 RS. I am a 172 cm on a very good day and I am running a small frame. We’ve gone for 37 12 cm wide bars. We have got some NV 4.5s on and they will actually get exchanged for some lightweights when they arrive. We’ve got some Pirelli P 0 Race TLR SLS for some premium grip on these corners, but I feel like uh we’ve been pretty blessed with the weather here, so that shouldn’t be too much of an issue. We are actually running a one by Sarram setup. So, I’ve got full Stram red on it where we can. We’re running a 1046 cassette on the back there, as you can see. And the chaining up front is a 50 to chain ring. And so quite honestly, none of these gears are actually going to get used in uh the crit. Not many of them. Maybe the bottom three because it’s pretty flat. But for climbing, this is really, really good. Like it goes uphill absolutely phenomenally. We also run Wahoo Speed plate pedals. Good ground clearance on them for crits. That is the bike check. The course that they’re riding around on the exterior of the Poly Techchnic University here. And I it’s quite tossy, huh? But looks fun. Looks really, really fun. I’m really looking forward to this. I We’ve got these. Thank Hopefully I don’t end up in one of these. Let’s really hope I don’t Hey, Kyloh. How we doing? These are the main people here. [ __ ] yeah. I’m just doing some videos. Ciao. How are you? You ready? Yeah. Yeah. I’m looking forward to it. Yeah. Yeah. That’s your stuff. Yeah. This is my [ __ ] These are the real Italian G’s. These are the people to know. [Music] Poly crit everywhere. Poly. [Music] How many Italians does it take to put up a 10? Huh? How to [ __ ] with Nathan Hass. Go to a bike race in Italy in 2026. Jack Marine Mage sunglasses. Oh yes. Polo. Skins suit. Not just bib shorts. Make sure you’ve got skin suit. Skin suit tucked in because you got to be ready to race at any moment. You got to take the pull off. Boom. Skin suit. And then Yeah. Rafaer cotton socks. Yes. And then Yeah. some Timberland. Boat shoes. Boat shoes. Stiffer shoes in the game. Apparently, nutrition strategy for crits is actually pretty simple. I’ve raced quite a few crits in my time. Did a big stint of London crits. The main thing is just having the food digested. So, I’m eating a big meal plus 3 hours around about 3 hours before you’re on the start line for the crit. And that way it ensures all the food in your stomach is completely digested. I’d maybe have a gel with about 25 minutes to go before the start. We are here. We are off in 20 minutes. Let’s go. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] You destroyed the brand new car in an enormous pilot. Scared. Six. Six into one doesn’t go. Apparently, Tomaso is fixing the Y1 RS cuz the Kago never dies ever. Neither does Tomaso. Um, this is where a lot of this is where a lot of like short-term memory happens. Oh, really? Through here. Yeah. Maybe I did that. For me, I would take a breather. The adrenaline’s going to come down, but it’s already coming down. To be to be honest, Elliot, I think there might be a little bit of slight concussion there. Yeah. Yeah. You should be able to reverse four numbers. Yeah. I actually found that there’s there’s no balance issue. There’s no um red no issue, but there’s a short term. [Music] [Laughter] [Music] So, this is where I probably started to crash and then I finished the crash about there. I steal it. I take it home. Let’s get it. Come on. Let’s go. Let’s go. currently on the lead car for the formation. It’s very Italian as you can see. Yeah. [Music] Yeah. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Go down go. [Music] Heat up here. [Music] [Applause] As you can see, we are no longer at the crit. We are at a gelato place. And that is because we are absolutely cooked. My head is banging. Uh I didn’t race again because it wasn’t a sensible thing to do. I Yeah, my brain is just a bit foggy and airy and I’m not actually thinking very straight. So, I’m actually going to put the camera away and we’re going to go home. And yeah, Polycript, thanks for coming. You guys were actually incredible. They’re just a bunch of students who’ve put on a career and they did a really, really good job of it and they’re extremely passionate and uh Milan should be super proud of the crit you you guys have put on here. So, uh yeah, cheers. Thanks for your comment.

Sick bike and milan recap! Loving this on the trainer
Bummer for the rain. I hate getting a new bike wet
New bike is hella Colnago-esque. Love it. Great video
All that way to pick up an ugly bike 🤣🤣🤣 that has no advantages at all just gimmicks
Kudos for talking about concussion, and making the right decision to not race. Having a mild experience with it myself recently, you realise it’s a harsh reality of our sport that needs some awareness.
This video was class! Good stuff mate
Hey Elliot! As someone who's been following you insta for a while, I'm glad you've got some long form content going as well, loved the video and unique editing style you've got, its a breath of fresh air and honestly just vibes. As someone living in Australia this video just got me so hyped for Summer to come about. Also hope you're all okay, must've been a nasty crash. Lastly I have to know, where's your silver necklace from it looks sick! Can't wait to see more of your content, stay safe!

TOMMASO I LOVE YOU
That bike is awesome. Has a really aggressive style. And it actually looks good – compared to the Cervelo S5 which looks weird and awkward

Get well! What a great new video! Didn’t expect to see the Cycling Church
