World Tour to Water Boy

I filled up 30 bidons and went to the ANEXO/CAMS Women’s & Juniors CiCLE Classic in Rutland. Regarded as the dirtiest race of the year I figured some clean bottle nozzles could be greatly appreciated by both bunches on a particularly mucky day out....for the peloton....not me.

This is amazing!! Love that you are helping out the British scene like this and supporting our races! Top guy Alex !!

[@AlexDowsettOfficial]

At 12:30 the suspicious noise is the windscreen wipers, I promise! 😨

[@Cycletechreview]

just heard that🤣

[@eddienoel1149]

I love the fact that you are trying to give back to your sport, chapeau sir

[@brettcrf]

The thing with this Free bottle in the race,most people don’t know what is in it and I don’t know what is in it .
So they don’t take it and when they do ALEX is crap at passing it to them 🤷‍♂️😂🤣🇬🇧💪🏻 good video all the same 😊

[@f.fischer5891]

Thanks, NOW I know how the gels are attached to the bottels (before they get ripped off and thrown away...)

[@Darthshearer]

Great video. This is why it's so important to have road racing in the UK. massive Kudos to all sponsors especially CAMS, volunteers and the hard a$$ racers! The future Kopecky's and MVDP's.

I know the feeling about the sharps bin, minimum of 5 jabs a day for me, type 1 diabetic.

[@timlawro]

I love that El is the thumbnail for this, I’m the S&C coach for university of Nottingham cycling program where she’s a student.

[@psymanj73]

Top work, Alex! 🎉 Did you help clean bikes after? 😂 So impressed to hear your view on helping out the British scene - we just need many more like you 💪

[@AlexDowsettOfficial]

HA absolutely not 😂

[@volkervoit]

12:34 did you have some beans for Breakfast? :-)

[@AlexDowsettOfficial]

Windscreen wipers 🤣

[@volkervoit]

@@AlexDowsettOfficial haha, okay 🙂

[@georgietheoldfaq]

I'd never be able to grab a bidon with my left hand :))))

[@Neilhuny]

The ladies are *SO* polite! A "thank-you" every time.
It was great fun to see this side of cycling. And wow, all cyclists (and bikes) were extremely muddy

[@grahambrant6664]

Have done a couple of years handing up bottles at the ECCA 12 hour TT. Soon learnt the best method was to run alongside and hand up bottles 100 metre relay style. Finished the day more knackered than any bike race I've ever done

[@simondavis697]

Many thanks for supporting the stars of the future Alex, and for all the years of entertainment you gave us. 👍

[@griffgrief]

Great to meet you at the finish line and hand out some prizes (pork pie man), if you make it over for mens race I can gift you a bag of goodies. Melton Mowbray pork pie = performance gain.

[@craigfletcher-f6y]

Team torelli girls giving it a go.. loving the womens racing so much more than ... Guess which world tour teams do not have female squads..

[@alansheard553]

When you said it's Mucky, did not realise you meant MUCKY !!! Good to see some local lads from Otley there. Well done Alex.

[@juannunez3107]

Man, it does take skills and practice to grab a bottle kudos supporting the rider.

[@jonpoon3896]

Looks like those who dropped bottles didn’t wear gloves. Might be something to think about when racing in the wet

[@shiftysand3430]

I managed to get one without gloves. It's just making sure that you bring your hand back with the bottle

[@stephenelliott-wright3230]

Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl 🎉

[@amc5966]

Really lovely to see Alex giving back to the sport. And did you notice how the girls all said thankyou on taking a bottle?

[@dougmcdougall3997]

Nice to see you helping out , acts of kindness are always a good thing! Lets hope it's contagious .

[@LegSpinna]

12:33 Better out than in.

[@AlexDowsettOfficial]

Those windscreen wipers will be the death of my reputation

[@chrisgarwood2237]

Respect, top guy

[@icic3155]

It doesn't look easy holding the drink or catching the drink, nice one for helping out!

[@JamesDownes]

12:33 😂 *fart*

[@scottheitmanmarinesurvey3557]

cute kids

[@phezter]

Love the real experience and the memories!

[@YaniofWigan]

Good sized womens field?

[@AlexDowsettOfficial]

I thought it was 😃

[@rayF4rio]

Does Alex have Elfish ears? 😁

[@daraghotoole2270]

Left hand grabs - panache!
