2:14 🐐

Why no press too talk buttons on levers to save riding one handed when talking on radio?

I could watch hours of this.

Mask don’t work

Thought he was gonna grab his jersey, stop peddling, and start talking into the mic during the sprint

This is terrifying 😳

Yes! This is next level

Awesome material!!

Gold !

I have been saying forever cycling needs more of this behind scenes action!!! Well done...Thanks

This makes it more engaging to watch...

I'm an old hat, has-been pro. My thoughts on radios and on-camera bikes: They are perfect for expanding the fan base by bringing the fan into the race. Couldn't be better. On the downside, radios have destroyed much of what defined professional cycling. That is, the ability of every rider in the race to know what s/he, teammates, and all other teams should or are likely to do. This was once called "reading the race", a term that may have fallen into disuse (I don't know!), much like the skill of knowing exactly how far to move your friction downtube shifter to jump a specified number of cogs and doing so without needing to "trim your derailleur". Not sure if any of you young guys will even know these references! Cycling is still cycling but in some ways it has become boring. However, my experience watching it make absolutely no difference. What matters is engaging new and larger audiences. How about cameras mandated by promotors/tv coverage with a steady feed from all riders. That way the producers could jump between riders' points of view. Computer calculated time splits, speeds, stats, road gradients, wind speed and on and on might add to the engagement. Still, the sport has evolved to be less exciting due to exacting information available via rider/team radios. Seems the human elements of passion, personality, as well as riders' mental calculators required are less important now.

I too am an old has been from the 80s...and I endorse your comments 100%

Valtteri, it's James....

This is more exciting than just watching the racing! Would love more of this!

احبكم وايد اموت عليكم يافربق الامارات فالكم التوفيق يااااارب 👏👍💃♥️👌😍😘💛💋❤️💋❤️🌹😩🙏

This is how you bring fans into the sport!

Exactly!!

... why are you using ancient tech? Dude... lol. You know there are microphones for situations like this - they go over your throat.. they don't cost more. Fucking trucker radios on a bike outdoors. This is a public embarassment

not going to comment the fact everyone has same car?!

I'm sure they are provided by the UAE Tour organizers. None of these teams would want to pay to ship a car over there for a one week race.

Love how hyped the mechanic is at 2:12.

Get in there, Lewis

I thought velon had power/hr/cadence metrics?

instant like..

Hectic!

Trying to be like F1 lol

@beach asss You might enjoy my counter point I just typed above.

not trying to because its really important to have a radio on a cycling race to support specially when the riders is dyjng of thirst or giving motivation for them besides of being a mechanic

Calm us down mario! Play some music!!

Reminds me of F1 radio and onboards. MORE!

Wow Wow so lovely, just great, thanks a lot Ciao Ciao

All those people who have taken to riding and racing on Zwift through lockdown and now thinking about racing outdoors: Learn how to ride a bike in a bunch properly before you enter a race ffs

This is awesome!! Yesss more pls 👍

this is great stuff. I wish every race had this and that it was incorporated into the live broadcast somehow

Go watch on Netflix “The Least Expected Day”. Biopic of the 2019 season of Team Moviestar. Similar scenes and drama.

Yessss this is UNIQUE

Very very interesting. I need more of this pls

more of this plz!

Its a hard job for the entire team..👍💪

I can't imagine the times that the 1980's riders would of had using these newer lighter and aero bikes. There is no way these dudes can sustain these speeds without using these modern lighter and super aero bikes. What speeds could these guys get on my 15 kg $250 road bike? The same speed I get battling 35 km hr head winds. All time trials should be on their normal road bike, they are literally using Hour Record Time bikes now outside, it's a complete joke and looks embarrassing.

This is super exciting and we need a lot more of it!

Should have used Garmin Virb Ultra 30 - better video - rectilinear edges and can get all the sensor and gps data

Kaliwaweng kayong lahat

Madness

A tour without mountains is just ridiculous. Hundrets of km flat and at the end the best sprinter wins.

I didn't like that the peloton waited for Adam Yates I know that pro cycling is fixed but I prefer it if I can maintain plausible deniability while watching. Moments like that make that impossible

Ahh but the super-tuck is gone so it's all perfectly safe now. Nothing to be anxious about here, just a bunch of tired, highly motivated and pissed off guys doing 60kph shoulder-to-shoulder dodging road-furniture between the budget-barrier death-traps. Totally stress free now that we're all saved the perils of the super-tuck.

they love the twerk while pooping challenge 2021

Reminds me of Tony Martin and Cancellara in their primes.

I wish you would show one rider's footage through the entire sprint

Yeah,Ackie is a real acrobat! 🤙

Thanks for being open to all the questions Pascal! My question is what is your nickname (that teammates call you)?

Parabéns João Almeida Abraço de Aveiro Portugal 🇵🇹

Wow. Those riding the drops, no brakes and ready to go. That takes guts.

That is some scary shit right there! Them boys are brave!

Caleb Ewan is an absolute beast!!!

Holy crap this looks scary

The commentary is completely uninspired. Dear commentator, if you don't like cycling and the race doesn't interest you at all, just find something else to do. This is horrible for everybody and it's been going on for far too long.

The guy is perfectly fine, you're just used to screaming, overexcited idiots thinking they are the norm (I'm guessing you're an F1 fan maybe?). Take some enhancers before watching youtube, if you want excitement?

He always has a happy face. But pascal why didn't any one iron you shirt?

Gotta stop the stupid masks! How ridiculous!

You have to be a real badass to ride in a peloton

Astana proteam no.1

0:05+ At least 3 riders jumped the starting flag, not practical to restart race like in Olympics, they should have been instantly DISQUALIFIED :(

It's not like they gained an advantage, the race didn't offically start untill like 10km after they departed, man you must be a newbie to cycling

Does Pogacar use rim brake?

nothing like a good shoulder bump during a sprint!

Is Disk the go to breaks now.

wow!

Awesome video! Wish it was 60 FPS though.

Intense!!! I'd love to watch a race with both views simultaneously (of the peloton and in the peloton). It would be awesome. It's like that for MotoGP.

Poor commentating again. Some of us want to know the winner at the line not 300 meters before. D grade commentating again.

TV companies take note. THIS is what we need to see when things start to get edgy.

I am sick of the commentator announcing the winner before they get to the line. D grade.

If this were soccer they'd be on the floor flopping around the entire race :)

Well done UAE for organising this even in these difficult times!!! 🖤❤️💚🇦🇫🇦🇫

1:26 Who are these two guys ? Bernal ?

Yates and I think the other guy was amador

No.

Need more of this. Need to hear the breathing and the shouting. Not just the sound of helicopters and motorbikes.

Looks like I-95 rush hour

Rider in blue drops sth at 0:55 and in replay at 1:11, and that caused the crash! Just have a look on the wheels of the riders behind!

Not at all.

Intense... I could imagine myself just shouting random stuff just to troll. My honk sound would be... “kaw kaw! Kaw kaw!”

If you saw the final sprint today then you know how badass that clip is to see from that angle!

GC Riders require a team of hit men around them 2 keep them safe. Like a lot of SPORTS pretty verbal at crucial moments. Gr8. Except 4 the boys that fell...

caleb ewan!

More action in this one minute of cycling than an entire NFL season

Intense!

This is how my zone 2 group ride ends up after 40 miles.
