Finally another video, have been waiting for it š
Thanks for posting even though i think it might be too late to be disqualified for posting. š
Have been waiting for more videos! š š I run as fast as I could to watch this! Better late than never!
Very cool coverage, I think it would have been better to let the front guys go and come in with the pack. You burnt some serious matches, proper numbers those. Iām digging that new ride, looking forward to the bike check.
Amazing video mate!
That start really looked like the ideal pace for a 200km day out
great analysis, always a big ask when the group dictates the pace – you could have rode to numbers but that's no fun. note the Coros doesn't do climbpro/Climb Guidance unless a route is loaded – when all their competitor do, maybe in the next version. I have the watch excellent product.
finally the vid is out
Wait⦠can we go back to the pizza⦠šššā¦ serious tho T, you still did the damn thingā¦ ššš½šŖš½š»+š»
Hard core, well done!
I'd be happy with that time for the 100km! š¤£
šššŖ
Huge power over that duration, even with the late fall off
Amazing, perfect video mate.
Great video, thank you! You were all proper flying down those gravel tracks! Very exciting pov camera shots with you mixed in the front group. Seriously well done šššššš
Great to see you having a crack in the commentary booth. Look forward to the day you are calling grand tours, alongside @lanternerougecycling
310+W @62kg, that's brutal… Well done! Would be curious to see what you eat / drink on such a race?
Insane quality and content! Thank you
well done Pookie š
Awesome video Tristan. Thank you, and well done for Traka!!! ā¤
I know it's a long race but looking back on your data and the amount of fluids you took in what do you think was the reason you Bonker?
