    What a nice bloke, easy to see why he has been a pro for so long. Apart from talent, teams probably love just having him around.

    I read the title like the pro was 17 years old and was very surprised when I saw the face 🤣

    What a guy! Great interview. They are Pros for a reason. 17 years at the top level of his sport and not having an ounce to brag about is something to learn from.

    - riding hard in to a climb, and then try ride as fast as possible around the corner to make the guys behind SUFFER!!!! and then...KICK!!!
    We have to love this guy, even after 17 years as a professional, he continues to smile and having fun.
    He is the best ambassador BMC can have
    Love your channel Cam.

    How cool is Micky Schar! Looks like the best guy to go on a ride with and have a chat. Great he's so open and upbeat during all your vids as well. Be great to see him involved with RUclips content when he hangs up his boots 😊

    Great to see a rider of that quality is also a nice guy. I found this to be often true, especially early in my bike racing days, back in the early 1980s, when I was a newbie. Some of the best racers I happened to meet were very nice to me. I also found that some of the most arrogant guys were the ones just below that in ability, who seemed to think they were all that.

    That was a great video. Michi went into that ride with a plan and it looks like it worked pretty well. Not that I have ever heard myself being penetrated but I have been known to make similar sounds. Despite being older and significantly heavier I have maxed out my heartrate higher than yours on that ride. The last duathlon I did I think I averaged pretty much 100% max heartrate and that involved a number of spikes.

    Go to an exercise physiology lab and do a real VO2 max test with lactate and right there you can see if you indeed reached max HR or chickened out ;)
