Perhaps showing why the winning teams have riders who concentrate more on pedalling up them than rolling down - Ineos once upon a time albeit with a different name
The perception of speed with this camera angle is definitely intensified. Tom is a unique rider in terms of skills, low weight, low center of gravity, I'd assume that in general his lines might be difficult to replicate by bigger riders in twitchy descents - quite a show!
I've driven it late at night, and saw more than one set of skidmarks going straight to the edge. Car, moto, or bicycle, you definitely have to be paying attention on Tuna.
When watching on a video from this perspective, it looks insane. But in the past, I did very similar things, in French Alps descending 86 km/h for prolonged time. My highest speed was 94 km/h in Bosnia and Herzegovina on a training ride. I had wind in the back, and it was a straight down segment without corners. I was 18 then. Now at 52 and a son of 16, I think twice before I let myself go like that and probably hit the brakes much faster... But once again, it looks much scaring when you watch it, then when you are actually on the bike. Okay, you need the sikls. I grew up between the mountains, and every training ride was climbing and descending. And back then, even without a helmet! Bikes and brakes were also of a lesser quality.
I too had similar experiences but Tom has much more skill than I ever had. I was more recklessly out of control with buckets of good luck. Definitely worse brakes in the 80's and 90's. Try this on C-Record Delta brakes, no thank you.
Keeping up with Pidcock on a descent puts you in the top 0.01 percentile of Pro cyclists in the world :D The first few minutes was just pure adrenaline until Tom almost lost it at 1:10 :D Love your videos, Brian!
I've seen this before too. The way he doesn't back off even an inch after taking what felt like several mm of his pedal is madness. I guess that's what you have to do at that level to win a race by descending better than everyone else!
@@harveybirdman593 Not deliberately lol! Once you know where the limits are, and you have the bike control, the limits are to be explored. Of course, if you go just a smidge too far, you're effed. That's just one of the reasons why he gets paid to ride his bike.
Riders putting a lot of faith on the cleanliness of the road to take corners at those speeds 😅 crazy. Considering that the edge of the road has some dirt and a bit on the race line would be disastrous.
Savage two wheel application. Just add gravity and twisty asphalt. Brian and Tom, you two always possess bike stoke and you shrrrrreded that descent!!!
Tom's descent is superb and he doesn't know the turns by memory like a local could. So nothing diminishes the feat. But SAFA's lines are just better in multiple corners...
He WAS full gas. Just didn't exactly know every corner. The fact he missed two lines proves it. He knows he's on camera, he knows how many views it gonna make, a terrible-scarce road, lot of risk. U can clearly see he sprints on a 6% gradient at 60k/h. He was full gas better than on a tour race, cause he never had to be full gas on a Tour race by the finish, like Poggio or Morzine.
Hold on a sec... I gotta clean my shorts... NOPE.... I died several times watching this. When his rear wheel slipped in the beginning I was like NOPE... scared the daylights outta me. LOL Then to cap off the ride with rough terrain and a sudden intersection... HELL NO !!! Thanks for the excitement
Watching this descent several times has improved my own skills in this discipline. Not that I could go anywhere near as fast down this course, but I definitely have a better handle on corners now!!
Perfect time for some questions. Are the constraints more important at high speed? Is the TPU tube really reliable? What if the front inner tube explodes? falling into a rocky slope disguised as lycra, is painful?
A man who can do anything on a bike with style. I thought the header meant that he'd be eating a fish sandwich as well, whilst going very fast downhill!
@@MrMooooooose Hah. Still need a car ahead to warn of any vehicles that ignore the one-way or don't know. Experience says, "Never assume one way will be one way"
@SafaBrian how many has TP gone down on this router before the shoot? I think there was one section where you were just by back wheel. Was that unfamiliarity perhaps? Kudos to you for tracking TP. 🙌👏🏻
Oh, man, amazing video. I wish I could ride like this where I live, but unfortunately there is no "one way" road anywhere. Here I must always keep an eye for cars at the opposite direction so I can't max out the speed at sharp corners like you do, gotta limit my speed so I stay on my lane. But cycling is fun anyway.
Quando la vita è una sola è sempre bello rischiarla in una discesa a tutta 😁 Se foste caduti sareste stati ricordati con uno stupendo mazzo di rose a bordo strada ...😊 Pidcock magari qualche news sul telegiornale in più..✌🏻
Given the ruts, grooves, crevices in the road surfaces, what tyres, rim width, pressure is he using? Looks like the roads between me in SE London and most parts of Kent within 90 minutes each way ride
“Stressful? Don’t say that - just 2 guys going downhill videoing it” Well there you have it - that PMA is what makes him a world class descender and a great asset to any team, even though he is clearly an individualist rather than a team player. Mind you, going over to Q36.5 team was a bit strange. That team is to cycling what Atlanta or Miami are to footballers at the end of their career. 🎉

The fact that you can just casually sit on the wheel of arguably the worlds best descender is absolutely bonkers.
SAFA is probably one of the worlds best wdym lol
Pretty sure there was nothing casual about it!
I don't think he's casually sitting on he peddling his but off
He knows this descent far better than Pidcock, which help

You forgot to add two gigantic metal golden balls 👀..
can never get enough angles of this run! that pedal strike is legendary!
People need to see this road in person to understand how insane this video actually is.
Yes! I rode Tuna Canyon 4-5 times back in the ‘80s. It was two-way back then. Up and down it was ridiculous.
I've driven it late at night, and saw more than one set of skidmarks going straight to the edge. Car, moto, or bicycle, you definitely have to be paying attention on Tuna.
-12+% gradient. Might as well be jumping off the mountain!!! lol.

My heart rate just hit zone 3 while watching this! 😂😂
Safa ❤
Chill ride then. ;-) Should be six. :D
Exactly 😂
Nice, you got a workout, and he took the risk, win win
Agreed.
Watched from the couch, now need a lie down. 😄
When I descend, I feel like this but at half the speed. 😂😂😂
When I descend, I feel like this but at half your speed. 😉
Top comment :D same here mate dont worry!
@@paulbradford6475when i descent, I feel like this but at half your speed 😉😉

Same again. Less speed and therefore less risk for the same thrills. I know who's really winning.

Breathtaking descent. That pedal stroke at 1:10 had me sweating sitting behind my computer watching. Crazy how you 2 went down that hill
Even though I knew it was coming that pedal strike still made my heart stop for a beat. Guy's a beast.
I've seen this before too.

1:10 for those wondering
I don’t get it. Was it an accident ? Why would he do that

@@harveybirdman593he shouted “oil”
yassss. need more chestcam videos again
How lucky and blessed...
A gold medalist is to have the privilege of riding with Brian.
his cadence out of the corners is so fast!
that I didn't notice on the other video, thanks for posting! keep the good work
we love to see it 🔥💯
The skill is unbelievable
Riders putting a lot of faith on the cleanliness of the road to take corners at those speeds 😅 crazy. Considering that the edge of the road has some dirt and a bit on the race line would be disastrous.
Did anyone's hands get a little clammy watching this? Man, it was nerve wracking but awesome at the same time. Wow!
I bet Ineos management did
You’ve uploaded this before. It’s just as gob smacking this time around. Thank you ❤
Savage two wheel application. Just add gravity and twisty asphalt. Brian and Tom, you two always possess bike stoke and you shrrrrreded that descent!!!
Pidcock is legendary, but you were right there the whole way. Wow. Did Tuna many times when I lived in So Cal, but never quite like that.
Can hear your disc brake singing in some of those turns. Music to my ears.
Incredible content. Kudos to you SAFA. This is an exhilarating watch.
Unbelievable skill from both of you! Terrifyingly rapid descent and incredible lines. Bravo to both of you❤
1:08 Tom casually calls back "OIL" 😮
Wee man is bonkers :D
Just realised from this angle, I'm pretty sure it's not oil, but his right foot striking the ground?
@@ConradGodfrey Def. a pedal strike
rock slide
Shows that even the best of professionals can have small beginner mishaps. Happens to the best of us
He nearly clipped the pedal comming out of the corner before clipping the right food. That would have been pretty bad sending him to the edge.
Insane, exhilarating and beautiful and in one! I absolutely loved it.
Obrigado Safa, por mostrar isso para o mundo! Foi insano.
Holy Sh*t @1:09!
It wasn't oil though. He grounded his pedal.
@@jono1457-qd9ft holy cow, good eyes! At first it looked like he slipped on some gravel
@@jono1457-qd9ftsand
Wow, was that a pedal strike!
He'll run out of luck one day.

Its easer to Follow don't forget.
@@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834yes, much easier.
Two amazingly skilled riders… 👏👏👏
Thanks for posting! You've got some talent SAFA Brian to be able to follow such a dive!!
I would have applied my brakes the entire ride🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..I salute you guys..
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Sweaty palms watching this.
Just absolutely amazing!
Watching this my head is going from side to side! Love it!
Truly bonkers. Accelerating on this descent is madness on its own, let alone combined with everything else they're doing.
It is absolutely terrifying to watch both insane descending fantastic riders.
Tom descends like a downhill skiier - trusts the surface, trusts his bike/grip, and trusts his skill and just gives it cowabunga!!
Pidcock wasn't going full gas... he even looked back a few times...chapeau!
He WAS full gas. Just didn't exactly know every corner. The fact he missed two lines proves it. He knows he's on camera, he knows how many views it gonna make, a terrible-scarce road, lot of risk. U can clearly see he sprints on a 6% gradient at 60k/h. He was full gas better than on a tour race, cause he never had to be full gas on a Tour race by the finish, like Poggio or Morzine.
I start sweating immediately when watching this even though I know y'all made it through just fine. Incredible footage.
That left-hander at 1:55 was nuts!
Damn. Outstanding videography 👏🏻👏🏻
Camera man knew that road so well. Props to you sir.
Oh I was just thinking “he nearly had a peddle strike “ then he did ! He was so lucky
Insane but exhilarating at the same time; kudos to you both 👍👍👍💪💪💪👏👏👏
Hold on a sec... I gotta clean my shorts...
NOPE.... I died several times watching this.
When his rear wheel slipped in the beginning I was like NOPE... scared the daylights outta me. LOL
Then to cap off the ride with rough terrain and a sudden intersection... HELL NO !!!
Thanks for the excitement
Congratulations, you are a monster, all time long at his tale.
You can learn so much by watching how Pidcock adjusts his body position at various parts of the corner.
Exactly! Watching this descent over and over again has improved my own skills in this discipline!
Watching this descent several times has improved my own skills in this discipline. Not that I could go anywhere near as fast down this course, but I definitely have a better handle on corners now!!
So nice. Great to see pro riders joining the fun.
Damn. Awesome stuff that. Pedaling hard out of corners at 40+ mph?!? outstanding ride.
Man, my nerves are shattered
Perfect time for some questions. Are the constraints more important at high speed? Is the TPU tube really reliable? What if the front inner tube explodes? falling into a rocky slope disguised as lycra,

You must be a fun guy at parties
Talent and bottle combined!
Brilliant ride Mr .... On the odd occasion I got the impression you could have jumped him. A bit scary to watch.
Pure class 👏 👌 pure speed 💯💣💥
Please tell me you swept every turn beforehand….bonkers, and I’m pretty fearless. Nice work!
History Lesson: Redbull once had a downhill race on Tuna. It was closed to spectators, but I was there. 😉
Is there a difference with high protein fueling rather than the usual gel approach then?
A man who can do anything on a bike with style. I thought the header meant that he'd be eating a fish sandwich as well, whilst going very fast downhill!
Great safe! Beautiful descent again!!
How did you stay with him? That’s amazing and frightening! Wow!
Good video!
How do you edit the video to add the overlay?
Damn some of those turns...great control!!!
Majestic. Thank You
Inspiring & terrifying! I DON'T HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE SO I WON'T BE TRYING DEADLY DESCENTS!
I don't think I've ever seen anyone descend this fast through switchbacks. Incredible, even for you.
So many turns with a mind of "I hope there is no car coming up"
It's a one-way road
@@MrMooooooose Hah. Still need a car ahead to warn of any vehicles that ignore the one-way or don't know. Experience says, "Never assume one way will be one way"
@@cuebj they have the car at the bottom, they can stop them from entering if they go the wrong way
My compliments to the tyre manufacturer too!
A thing of beauty
Hi mate, may I ask what mount you use for your pov shots
that pedal strike shaped oil slick looks more interesting with that view. but epic riding
@SafaBrian how many has TP gone down on this router before the shoot? I think there was one section where you were just by back wheel. Was that unfamiliarity perhaps? Kudos to you for tracking TP. 🙌👏🏻
1:10, heart in the mouth, 😮 good save by Tom.😅
Hey are you using Garmin Virb? Are you satisfied with it?
50 is just nuts with these hairpin turns
Not going to lie - that was terrifying.
Magnifique 😊😊😊😊décente
Some say Pidcocks Q factor is 36.5 and that Safa guy is a legend
Only thing more impressive than Pidcock descending is how you can follow so close at those speeds.
Oh, man, amazing video. I wish I could ride like this where I live, but unfortunately there is no "one way" road anywhere. Here I must always keep an eye for cars at the opposite direction so I can't max out the speed at sharp corners like you do, gotta limit my speed so I stay on my lane. But cycling is fun anyway.
That was sick!!
This was the best!
We want the Tuna ascend version!
it's a lot longer
Need a different team for that these days
What type.of tyres do you use for.your descent
do you use Dura Ace brakes all the way? 160? 140 discs?
How and with what cam do you get the speed data etc on the left in the 3screen?
Please tell me that road is closed? Btw- loved the video.
Beautiful footage. Would be cool to see your power and hr data as well.

literally insane
Brian is still the MAN.
Honestly man, please make more videos with Pidcock
Which camera you are using?
This is sick 🤯🫣
Where are the breaks and shifter cables?
I can barely hit 40mph on a straight line and these guys doing 40s on a corner. what a beast
Wow.
Thats riding on the edge.
Great descent, rocket legs and big balls :)
this thing never gets boring...
