Today is day 4 of 5, and well, compared to yesterday’s Queen Stage, it looks positively easy. But looks can be very, very deceiving and today proves to be a lot more challenging than any of us had bargained for.

There are specifically trained dog that roam the mountains by cities and villages in Chile that are basically the first responders they are not mark
I kindly request an update on the dog's finishing position.
Sadly, unknown. But we found out later that apparently he completed the entire course last year as well 😂
@@sydandmacky pffff. He's truly the Macky Franklin of dogs. Definitely a... Thoroughbred racer (du-dum. Kshhhhh)
Felt bad for the dog, he ranned 50 without nutrition and water🥺🥺
He drank from those puddles Syd was referencing.
@@notpablo8369 When you're a dog, the world is your aid station
Brilliant that Macky would hand a tool over to a competitor with a mechanical and not be bitter that he beat him on the stage. Such a classy person all around.
I hope the dog got a finisher medal !
Syd's cockpit took a beating this stage race, first her computer now her bottle cap!
Haha I just took the bottle cap off to tighten my headset and then temporarily lost it. It turned up when we unpacked 🤣
Was the first thing I noticed 😂
@@sydandmacky I was wondering where it went!
@@samgooding-matthews3175 Lol same here, first thing to check: "Who's footage is this? huh..."
Syd's commentary for this stage was hilarious! The dog pooping, the "See ya sucka!", all of it! Great job to both of you!
I love the part when she says "what are you guys doing? I thought we were in this together."
"My legs hurt and I could not respond." Me after 200 feet of climbing. Congrats to you both. Looking forward to the big finale.
It takes a couple of watches to take it all in so much happening and on the second go through realise that Macky gave his multi tool to Frederico who goes on to take a well deserved stage win,
Leading the way in the be more awesome category syd and Macky 🤙🏻
yay we finally get to see Lo's POV! Love Macky and Syd but it is also good to see another perspective o the same ride
LOL "I hope that doesn't get in the cut in my shin. It's been a nice life". Syd you're f-in hilarious. I have a race coming up in June and I will definitely try out yours and Macky's self talk approach. I dont' want this series to end! So fun, so entertaining and the pacing/editing/shots are just awesome.
This series has been awesome!
The pre-race physical and emotional status update was classic! Syd: AAAAAAH!
I’ve been subscribed to this channel for a few years now and enjoyed Syd and Macky’s journey but Lo takes it to a new level!
the dog should get a medall!!! First place on his category!
I was relieved that Syd didn't break a wrist at the end of Stage 3, now I'm hoping Lo is OK!
This is brutal! No matter how good a shape us mortals achieve, nothing would have ever prepared me for this!
I LOLed at the Giardia comment. Great race for both of you!
This has been amazing. You guys are amazing. Crazy how not to long ago you were learning how to walk again and wasn't sure you would be able to ride a bike again. Great job. Thanks for sharing this with us.
4th day ends with well earned orange jerseys!
Well Done !!!
The dog created the route of this stage, clearly knows it by heart.
It also looked like Syd had lost her Yellow bottle cap fork cap top.
If anyone is in this area of Chile, it's definitely worth doing a guided trip to the top of the Villarrica volcano. It's a decent climb, but the views are incredible and the glissading down is awesome!
You both are absolutely crushing it!! Good luck and safe racing on the final stage!!
No wonder you won the female overall, look how fast you were going at the end!🤣
COME ON 100k. We've been waiting for that milestone for so long. This channel is one of my favorites and it checks all the boxes for great entertainment. Great race you 4.
Muy buenos sus videos. Ojalá subtitularan al español todos sus videos!!!! Saludos desde Chile
3:02 😂 Lo was the complete opposite of this in the beginning which makes this scene even funnier
Both of you are such gifted riders who produce some very watchable content. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these stage races. Thanks for sharing the raw experience and all the best for future rides 👍
You guys are super awesome! This series is excellent!
Syd is hilarious 😂😂
Seeing you race this one, I think you could enjoy the Transalp bike race. I heard of it some time ago. I probably wouldn't be fit enough to do it but these multiple day stage races seem so much fun
Good thinking on keeping focused on the big picture Macky. Syd, you're riding has improved tremendously over last year. Nice work. Keep it up. 👍👊
Racing with a horse and a dog! 😂 How can it get better than that?
Hands down the best mountain biking channel on CZcams. Cant get enough of theses race videos. Looking forward to many more this year.
Dogs, bikes and stage racing. Awesome content. Thanks
Good job to the both of you stage 4, Syd Keep it on two wheels girl...
I'm no racer, but I put a lanyard on my Garmin, after it fell off once.
You are total beasts. Fantastic video footage! Y'all do a great job! Thank you so much! Enjoy every minute of it, and I have to admit that dog is amazing
Great video team! Loving this!
These are so so good.
Love this !!!!!!!
Another great video !
Love watching these rides and your journey!
Ive been loving this series so much, great video!
Thanks... needed this!!
Great job guys!
Thx for the video. Great riding. Way to ride hard on Day 4.
Great video and wow race super congrats for energy inspirations!🌞
congratssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By far my favourite series of videos so far. Can't wait for the grand finale!
I really enjoy watching you guys! I would die doing 1/10th of what you guys post. Thanks for sharing your racing lives with us.
Great races. Both of you guys bike handling is pretty incredable. Great job.
The sound that Syd makes when she is tired gives me the fear.
Great chanel, you are both great riders and positive people, greatings from Croatia.
Glad you resolved that cliffhanger from the last episode about your dash
Great filming, really enjoying this series. Looking forward to Lo-cam in the next one!😂
Macky: Current Position 4th (not counting the dog that has been with us since the start and is just having fun!)
I really like your videos 👍❤
Wow that was great. Going to be sorry when it’s over
You two did an excellent race. Syd i got so worn out watching you I've had to go and take a nap. I look forward to number 5
Yes! I’ve been wondering about Lo’s (and Joe’s) perspective this whole time and next video we’ll see!
YAY! Another one!
It's funny hearing y'all's accents in Spanish getting progressively more Chilean as you go through the course of the race...😄
I have a Gravel Bike and a Trail MTB but watching your videos has inspired me to think about getting a XC bike and ride some races or a triathlon. Now to figure out what brand I might want to get.
XC bikes are so capable nowadays and so much fun!!
jajajaja Syd and Macky, me he divertido mucho viendo sus videos! aparecemos en algunas partes jejeje, ese dia ufff una etapa muy linda. Nooooo Syddd el perrito 😄😄😄 jajaja
Jajaja uds aparecen menos en los días 4 y 5 porque me ganaron 😭😭
Cool thumbnail ☺️
Syd your Spanish accent is good!
Scooby snack for the dog!!!
Thank you guys so much for doing these videos! Cinematic, suspenseful, fun, just wonderful! The CZcams world is blessed by Syd and Macky! ~Reed from Santa Fe
Ok Macky remember to put a new cap on Syds stem , you both are doing very well . I like how Macky talks to himself in the race ( self motivation) at least I’m not the only one that does this lol
Nice lake, full of cow poo 🤢 reminds me of NZ sadly enough
Great ride. Really love the separate footage from the videographers at the lake. The dog should have got a reward for his run. Curious, did he finish the stage?
Not 100% sure, but we think so! At the point Syd last saw him he pretty much would have had to finish it to get home...
@@sydandmacky He was a beast (no pun intended) to have gone the whole stage or at least to the part where Syd last saw him. Epic. Chilean Dogs Rule!
I hope the dog got a 🏅 for first in his category
Amazing that folks don’t take a chain breaker with them.
That missing stem cap through me off. And that dog...
Temporarily misplaced in a jacket pocket 😆
Someone sign that dog to a pro team hehe. Also kinda of an interesting POV thing. To those of us who are not pro racers, the thought of not being happy with your riding despite taking 1st is foreign.
I actually think it's really important to have goal and objectives that aren't results based, that way you can have wins even when you aren't winning (which realistically, in this sport, is most of the time). The flip side is you can sometimes fail on some of your personal objectives and still win the race 😂 i definitely have things in perspective and overall I'm stoked on my performance this day, but I let some opportunities slip by on the final road section, which is what I was frustrated about. There's always opportunities to learn, even if you're winning :)
The only solution for the bridge rails is to wheelie across
Great videos! Thanks again. How about posting the overall leader board with times? We don't know how much time you have on your rivals for each stage.
Interesting you say that about gravel racing because I'm watching this as someone who does gravel races and thinking this is very similar to Ohio gravel racing lol. Mixing in single track has gotten so popular i cant tell the difference from xc and gravel races anymore.
@canaldebike - 15:29 - JPMondini😜
Great race guys , love the content of you too. You should try EU races , Transalp race maybe ...
Amazing work by all, Congrats! What is your setup for dash computer and power meter? So many options on the Stages Cycling link you listed with all the other things.
We run the Dash L200 computer with XTR power meters. The key with the power meter is simply to get one that matches your existing crankset (same model and length).
@syd spanish was right on point! how/where did you learn?
Syd, sorry about your head unit, but yo let’s pour one out for the yellow bottle cap. That’s a heartbreaking loss….😢😢😢
I actually just forgot to put it back on after tightening my headset. It lived in a jacket pocket for a few days before I noticed.
Go Team Yellow Bottle Cap
yes Team Yellow hahaha
What music do you listen to when racing? You’ve both got some awesome fitness 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Congrats to both of you for a excellent stage again!
and Thanks for the awesome today´s video.
and I almost forgot to ask... Whre is the Syd yellow bottle cap?
Temporarily misplaced in a jacket pocket 😆
Thanks for your great videos. May I ask how you train for balance in the bikes? I sometimes get in trouble with balance, especially when exhausted.
We've done a lot of skills work with Lee of Lee Likes Bikes and he focuses a lot on body position which makes a big difference for balance. We also do a lot of one-legged/one-armed gym work which helps with balance.
🤘🤘
Awesome riding and video. Btw, what happened to Syd’s yellow stem cap? 😂
Temporarily misplaced in a jacket pocket 😜
Syd lost her bottlecap!
Temporarily misplaced in a jacket pocket 😆
Lo!!
pls dont start gravel, i really enjoy your xc racing a lot.
Epic racing today! Syd, what happened to your Bottle Cap of Power? Did you remove it, or loose it when the computer ejected? Keep doing what you do 😁👍‼️
Temporarily misplaced in a jacket pocket 😆
Proposed new rule: everyone carries their own damned multitool
Awesome footage, quite unique what your doing!😁How are you finding the new gopros? They work every time or most of the time? Any issues, like freezing, battery drain while off, etc...
Occasional freeze but they happened on the 9s too and we put new batteries in each morning to avoid any drain issues.
Macky what do you think of the maxxis rekon race in 29x2.4 as a rear tire? I do XC all Mountain kind of style, by the way you are the most complete rider, you can do all diciplines in ciclyng
It's our go-to XC race tire. Love it!
Does the Stages Dash have a slot for a leash or tether to the handlebars? Macky also had his Dash eject in a race. With a leash it would still be wrapped around the handlebars. I appreciate having one on my Garmin just in case.
How much higher was the base elevation today at the start? Syd you lost your custom stem cap cover!😢
Чёрная собака прошла весь путь от старта до финиша?
Syd’s stem cap changed I was confused.
Temporarily misplaced her bottle cap in a jacket pocket 😆
