Best cycling content on KZbin. You make all these events seem more accessible by showing how friendly and relaxed they are, which perhaps is testament to your character. You've also struck the right balance of casual viewing and nerd content.

We have a series of circuit races in Norfolk at the Lotus Hethel test track. It’s great as a way in to road racing, I’ve just done my first two and it’s been fun and just the right level of challenge. Unfortunately the numbers of entrants aren’t what they used to be and it’s only just keeping afloat from what I’ve heard. Need to get the word out and encourage more people to try

Mallory Park in Leicestershire has been used for bike racing for years, and since they built a village up around it (who's residents complain about the noise of the track) the track is used much less frequently for cars, and has a lot of bike slots. I think it's a great track for cycling on, could even have a gravel race with the rallycross bits.

It was interesting to watch you vs the 4 road bikes. Glad you enjoyed it much more than your last escapade.

There's good racing to be had round the Lotus test track near Norwich - plenty of safe space, lots of wind and it's freezing year round!

I'm amazed at how greasy race circuits seem to be, I did a Duathlon at a damp Castle Combe and had a drifty moment at Quarry ( effectively the first corner) that definitely grabbed my attention 😱, it's possible a new set of un-scrubbed Specialised tyres might have contributed, but even so... Oh yes they also have a series of 10 mile TT throughout the summer there as well as Goodwood, let's face it and evening bike event on any race circuit isn't going to lose the circuit any money in wear and tear, and noise is definitely not going to be an issue 😂. Win win I say.

Using Goodwood for cycling is a great idea. Due to the proximity of housing with Chichester constantly expanding they have significant noise limitations - which limits the number of motorsport events they can run. Cycling wouldn't pose those sorts of issues for them (you would be a hell of a lot quieter than the aircraft taking off fro the centre airfield). A win win for Lord March and the Goodwood estate and for cycling...

I've done many CTT events and only a few closed circuit TTs , the closed circuit TTs are so much more relaxed and fun

The Drift Limits circuit in Bovingdon has weekly races during the summer. It's smaller that a full motor racing circuit but that actually makes it a bit technical too.

Great effort by the way good of you to turn up and participate! You can be on our team next year!

Remco I suspect has a great cda, tie that in with coming back from injury where you tend to lose a bit of top end as well as miles in the legs/endurance, it is unsurprising that it is those peak efforts on tougher stages that tell vs a more steady state effort. Hopefully he will get that last 5 or so peak abilty % back before the tdf. As we saw with Pog however good you are if you have disrupted training being consistent I delivery of their peak performance efforts day after day is tough.

@Gws525 5 ай бұрын

Why do people insist on talking about Remco when they talk about the TDF? He won’t be anywhere close.

I love how you keep recording top results...when you don't use a power meter. 😁 I would guess you've been doing this long enough that you know what your body is going to let you do on any given day, and you can just ride free. Also you're probably not holding back a little like the teams who are almost certainly worried about overlap and slipping in a corner in these conditions.

Aintree race (horses) course, has a racecar track, that has been used for cycling Also all horse racing courses, have a tarmac service road, that follow the track, ( used for doctor/ambulance/vets ), could be hired for cycling events?

Regarding the Spec TT5 helmet. Does the balaclava come out when you don’t use it? Or do you just stuff it up top when you don’t wear it? I heard it was attached and had to be cut out to be removed. Is that true or does it pop in and out with a snap/clip?

So do you think the GP TT TR 25mm has actually less wet grip than the Corsa Speed? I know that most people are not really fans of the Corsa speed in such conditions...

If this constant conveyor belt of low pressure systems keep hitting the UK we'll never get that 'thinner air' spell we should get so pb's will be tough for anyone this year.
