Glad you're doing the 24 this year, there's not many videos about it and the prep that goes into it and for me that's one of the most interesting races!
That's very cool. Best of luck with that one mate, hope the weather doesn't mess you up too much. Keep us posted on your prep, sounds interesting and also pretty tough!
Afternoon Chris, 👋 entirely coincidentally I was at silverstone yesterday.... Not for testing, but a porsche track day. It was fabulous! BUT! An interesting point, after the safety brief: there was a talk ( with porsches human performance division) and the services they provide to F1 drivers and athletes from a multitude of sports, particularly endurance. It was really interesting, I have to say......I'm now wondering if there is a link between areocoach at silverstone & the human performance team at Porsche? I didnt realise just how VAST ! 😳🙂 The site of Silverstone is ! Wow! It's already well in progress , putting up stands for the F1 race in a few weeks' time ( more WOW! from me!). Hope the training is going well. It seems your plans with the tech side generally are coming along very nicely there Chris ! 👍💪. Have a great week! 🍻
@ChrisHallRides morning Chris yeah I know the feeling all too well....this blummin weather in Northumberland isn't great either! 😕. BTW, when I flew down down to T5 on Monday morning Francis & Jimmi were on the same flight. You tube heroes! and I didn't say Hi ! Think I was just a scardey cat ! 🙄😅
I don't think it makes much difference to be honest because of my position. We discussed it and as it's not really in the wind that much it shouldn't affect it
Thank you for the video Chris.. I would want the lightest helmet possible.
Yeah the one we went with was what I believed was lightest

Totally agree it's really interesting isnt it? It'll be interesing to go back. It's been a while.
That's a good looking tt bike...gimmee
Very interesting. Good Luck and take care, Al
Thanks, you too!
Wish there was more 24 events in the US. Looking forward to more information and your progress. Good luck at the race Chris!!!
Thank you! To be honest we only really have one now.

I have done the race 3 times now but not for some time so I know what it is like. Hopefully the weather holds out. I will keep the updates coming!

Thanks mate, training is a bit of an ebb and flow at the moment to be honest but trying my best, the current weather really isn't helping..

Will there be a video of the TT? I can imagine it being quite hard to actually film you riding it, camera on the bike is not very aero 😁Best of luck!
The plan is to film it with Jack taking charge of it all :)
Newish subscriber great video and you make it look effortless in the tunnel, I know it’ll be anything but easy over 24 hours Godspeed
Thanks so much for subscribing!
Wishing you smooth sailing and good results from the National 24. I also recommend the longest possible helmet, just for fun.
hahaha I wanted to use the super long one but it didn't test as well as the one I settled on and was quite heavy but I loved how it looked
Yup - it looked like a Alien Xenomorph 😃
I'd be interested (seriously) in knowing what the difference would be if you lost the tash.

@@ChrisHallRides cheers
Good to be able to have a choice of warm layers considering our current UK climate, is Jimmi still going to be your corner man?
Yep Jimmi has agreed to help :)
@@ChrisHallRides glad to hear that
Assuming Will is gonna be busy working in the World Tour. Who’s gonna take care of your nutrition on the day?
Yeah he is unfortunately. I should be accompanied by someone from Styrkr, maybe Leon and Frazer who appear in an early video
