  • The RedBull Bay Climb is a bike race held in San Francisco, CA, where you race from the bottom of a three teir hill to the top. This hill has grade as steep as 21%!!! HUGE names show up like ex world tour pro Phil Gaimon, current Mountain bike marathon National champion Payson McElveen, and current national crit and road race champion Justin Williams.
    In this cycling race video at the redbull bay climb in San Francisco, I show you a quick highlight of the event followed by a vlog of the day. I show you my 3 efforts, talk to dudes who did way better than me, and just show you the life bro.

      Will the extra weight get them a little?

    • @Danny-hh3ed
      @Danny-hh3ed Před 5 lety

      @teknon my - why specifically 72kgs?

    • @Danny-hh3ed
      @Danny-hh3ed Před 5 lety

      A quick Google search suggests rohan Dennis is 71kgs, and i'm sure he got lighter than that for the giro, interesting how he couldn't hang on when climbing, with froome and especially dumoulin, as he must've been similar weight

    • @Danny-hh3ed
      @Danny-hh3ed Před 5 lety

      No mate, froome is approx 68kgs and dumoulin is approx 70 or so, as is geriant Thomas, so there isn't much difference in weight. Dennis has a v.high ftp (clearly, as he's such a fast tt rider) which makes it interesting why he couldn't climb that well with the best

Between the seem less drone KOM footage, the insightful how to’s, vlogs like chasing money and now this one, and of course the sweet t-shirts. you truly are killing it man. I’ve gotten a road bike recently and a set of PowerTaps and I’m determined to start crushing it on the bike. You’ve even inspired me to start my own channel and I dropped my very first intro video.
