"they're on conti 5000's" "at least they won't puncture" 😂
No idea who made this comment 👀😂
@@olliepeckover4046 legend. Irun those round my local as the roads are rough as fook. not sure running them on that super smooth track with no debris is the best choice haha
@@thebikepackingadventurer I wonder if those Cadex wheels are hookless tubeless and they are limited in tyre choice.
What's wrong with contis 5000?
@@desmondyap5391 they are excellent tyres, have them on all my road bikes and training wheels. However for time trials, the 5000's aren't great compared to time trial specific tyres due to the higher rolling resistance and puncture protection.
The whole event was full of TT legends - very humbling
This feels like a bigger crossover than if the Avengers and Justice League were in the same movie together... Just with somehow more lycra and nerdiness
Big up to your team for letting you do this, it was awesome!
All of you guys rode brilliantly, Joe ran a PB and it was just that extra loss in the swim that’s cost him. What a fantastic event 👍🏻
Excuses are for losers. Gold for winners.
30 seconds in and this is already brilliant 🤟
Great vid as always Alex, thanks 👍😊
I watched the whole Sub7Sub8, pretty much from start to finish and loved it. Amazing efforts from Joe, You and everyone in the whole event!
It's always super interesting getting these little personal behind-the-scenes insights into the people and preperation of such an endeavour. Apparently DanB is going to be on the PeakTorque YT channel and can't wait to hear more detailed insights into what went on
Looking forward to your next videos 👌😃
D 😎
I have been waiting for your video since Sunday… hope part 2 is coming soon!!!
great vid with some true TT nerding 🤓. team Joe bike vid coming up?enjoyed watching the race live as much as watching an exciting tour stage or one day classic. hope we see more innovative racing concepts like this. kudos to you and I-PT for being involved. chur from 🥝 TT geek
Alex your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you.
Another great video Alex. Thank you for putting this out there. What a cool event. Looking forward to hearing more from you on the tech around this event.
Heaps of knowledge there....amazing execution on the day, great to see the fun vibe behind the scenes ⚡
So much British firepower across all teams and disciplines, great to see.
oh god cant wait for part 2 with bigham. This one is really Excellent, love this kind of stuff Alex!
It was pure class watching the event. The speed was mind blowing. Got to say Joe' team om the bike was by far supierior
Joe Skipper TT team looks the strongest ever assembled. Impressive.
Mental, can't wait to see the race
HOnestly it was amazing to watch. I wish there were more events like this
Behind the scenes video's FTW
I watched the whole and the bike leg was simply amazing
Good to see you wearing some decent kit!
Did you consider having a certain uci team car loaded up with spare bikes follow as well? I mean you could make the case you need 2 spares for each rider and really have a whole RV follow. Well done!
Wow....it was incredible.... without you it would've been 4:30. Great job.
I don't think Tri's are susposed to be this much fun
Loved watching you guys hauling ass. You must have all been buzzing.
epic as always
Bring back team TT to the grand tours
Hey alex, like you i am all about aero dynamics having worked with custom Human powered vehicles. From my understanding wouldnt it be more more efficient aerodynamically to have one of the pacers as the last rider. Im sure their is a strategy to the order you guys have. Just my curious brain wondering
Answered this one below 👇 great questions
Poor Kristian. Wondering where it all went wrong.
Odd question from a guy who knows pretty much zero about aero..... would it not make sense to run a man behind the main man (Joe Skipper) so he is not getting pulled back from air wrap around?
Great question and we talked about/tested this. There was more of a gain from having the extra man in front as sweeper than a man behind instead/also and subsequently losing pacers. Joe was never the limiting factor to speed, we were, so it was a case of us going as fast as humanly possible.
@@AlexDowsettOfficial thanks a lot for the insights. Expected that there would be a reason.
Is joes helmet aero without the visor? Those ear flaps look like parachutes!
so cool
Can someone plz explain what sub 7 is?
i wish pro cyclist had more free time. they are all slaved to their teams, with strict rules their entire carrer. i'd love to see all these fantastic humans having more fun on their bikes! with no team jerseys in the middle, with free time vibes.
What tyres did you use Alex?
Min 6 Best q, before a Tt.
how are your slevees ??? Totally brain devastating question !!!
Seen more of that cardex in this video than
have you been listening to "Marginal Gains"?
Just out of interest - I did believe (probably wrong) that it is also beneficial if there is someone behind as a last man.
It is beneficial, however I guess it needs to be weighed up against the more awkward resorting of the pace line. Probably doable but would require more coordination and much more preparation as a team

Spoiler. No
Not a spoiler if it’s half incorrect.
So good to see you and all the tt weapons on this project 🤌🤌
