    Tristan, without question, your best video yet! The passion, friendship, and respect was palpable and comes through. Absolutely wonderful. What dually made this a top-notch video was the focused and detailed unpacking of you and Ben discussing his training and Tour preparation. It would be GREAT to have more of these with Ben and other Pros your are in relation with. Keep up the excellent work. Peace!

    Yeeeeh! Awesome video. I was rooting for Ben all the way round the last 3 weeks. Amazing he came 4th overall! Congrats to him. Well done for supporting your friends. :) more powerful than we realise.
    Also “Enough percent” had me laughing.

  • @ktakashismith
    @ktakashismith 3 года назад +3

    Amazing how knowledgable and measured he is, it really takes a certain kind of cunning to know when to put the hammer down. Ben's prediction for Beixalis was spot on, Kuss gapped Valverde at the end of that climb, had 25 seconds at the summit, and held that advantage to the finish line.
    Thanks for this great video, really unique to get a peek at what the training pedagogy is like for Grand Tour riders. Those 4-minute sets sound absolutely filthy, can't imagine being able to repeatedly put out that kind of work. Oh, and those roads and views have me absolutely itching to get out for a ride!
