Highly unlikely that they paved it, but I can’t tell for sure.

With Telemetry Overlay software. That uses the data from the GPX file in the SD card and adds gauges.

Wind, unfamiliar terrain and that grade gauge actually is useless. It’s like what Garmin records, usually not very precise.

Sorry, I missed this. It was made with Telemetry Overlay software. The problem with GPS data in many recording devices, including GoPro, is that the info is there, but it is not visible in the respective company's software. Crazy for expensive devices like this, but it is what it is. BTW, I have also created a similar video with the free Garmin Virb software once, but that is no longer officially available.

It was and if you ever come over...

@@RobertRijnders you know you would be the first to know when I get there my friend

I'm just messed up 😂 I quickly found out that dragging less weight makes climbing slightly easier 😎

@@RobertRijnders ya over here in Texas I try not to use common sense in competition it's just so unfair 🤣

@@spacetruckerbob 😂

Glad you enjoyed it, brother. It was the final descend of a long day in the saddle, but what a rush. I did it a few days earlier (Stage 6 or 7) but it was later in the day and a bit more quiet this time.

Thanks, brother. It's not so much different here and I have left all "social" networks, including Twitter. That basically was because they suspended me without reason, a decision that was revised like 6 weeks later, after my appeals and demanding an explanation fell on deaf ears. When they revised it, I shut down the account. I will never, ever get back to any of them. Trust me, it's better for your (mental) health.

@@RobertRijnders ya I figured as much I couldn't see arguing they said I was harassing the police and protesting is a form 9f harassment is some eyes lol ya I dont miss it realy just a way to toss out a graid idea for a world full of freaks to poke fun at and realy it took people literally dying to change minds nothing I said or did ever realy mattered beyond meeting some good people

@@RobertRijnders and I also cant think of anything better then to exercise and a hot shot is about 3 foot long and made to zap cows but it might also help charge one of them scooters if they get close enough 🤣

@@spacetruckerbob 🤣🤣🤣

It's not a motorbike, but what we call a scooter. There are 2 categories: below 25 kph, which are allowed on bicycle paths, driving doesn't require a helmet and above 25, which are not allowed on a bicycle path and require a helmet while driving. Problem is, most of these "bicycle allowed" scooters, have been modified to go way faster, up to over 50, 60 kph - the morons riding them, are still not wearing a helmet and are a (general) menace to cyclists. When caught by police, which is too seldom, the scooter is confiscated and they are fined a big amount. I hate the f*ckers...

@@RobertRijnders here in Texas most think your weak for riding a bike or to even take public transit lol the sad truth about my people we are way to proud but I will say when we go ride on bike trails the people who are there riding are most likely very responsible and so fair not much of the modified scooters. But I'm shore it's a big problem in the city's I just stay up here in the sticks with the pony's lol

The pass is 33 kilometers long, but on that occasion, I only cycled the last 5, coming from Livigno. I cycled the bloody thing in its entirety in 2015 and 2020 - that last time, it was freezing cold.

@@RobertRijnders you look so happy doing it too

Cobblestones are horrible to ride, more so when it’s raining. I rode Paris - Roubaix once and my arms were hurting for a week after finishing. You have to try and let the bike find the flow, but your instinct is to grab and hold tight...
