Great St Bernard Pass (Italian side) - Switzerland raw runs [#1]

First ride of the trip and first time seeing the Italian side of the Great Saint Bernard Pass. We ended up setting the fastest time down here which was a bonus as we were just stoked to get going on such a great road. No this isn't in Switzerland but it was on the border and too good to miss out on. As always - ad free and early access available on Patreon.

Casually waving to a passing cyclist at 48mph in the supertuck. Legend!

[@ragle8684]

Excellent! What a well-maintained stretch of road!

[@damircc]

I am swiss and I wish I could cycle like that. San Bernardino is one of the most beautiful passages in all of Switzerland. Was a pleasure to watch!

[@gikke007]

Why can't you cycle like That? 🤔

[@damircc]

Cause I am not that skilled and courageous?

[@gikke007]

@@damircc i'm not Thatcher skilled Either but in my head i am 😁😁

[@jcsrst]

As usual a palm sweating good time! What an amazing place to ride!!

[@nycyclist4154]

Beautiful mountain views. The road is nice and smooth with no pot holes or cracks. He's fast and daring. The cyclist with camera is another badass rider. WOW!!

[@KDXWALLSTREET414]

Great ride....and let's not forget the spotter/recorder riding behind him. Kudos to you both!💪🏾

[@tansytansy]

i don't own a bike yet so the next time i'll cycle will be in july when i go back to my hometown from uni :( im not even a pro cyclist but the vids on this channel have made me long for rides through countryside 1000x more. thank you so much for the great content, love from russia

[@KOL630]

Dang this road is simply perfect. Cassette sounds like a nitro RC car, mental! 😎

[@nhatuphong1579]

Cassette sounds makes me nervous and inspiring at the same time.

You really had beautiful weather and low volume of traffic ! Looking forward to watching the other side... few more traps and surprising corners 😅

[@douglasbracken7562]

The most incredible ride you have filmed

[@despair268]

Incredible, your videos are truly one of a kind.

[@kevinmntambo3407]

"We pray for safety", but that view was to die for

[@hobmarg]

Loving the euro content, the edit/vibe of Pray for Speed (color grade, aspect, music etc) was excellent and it's great to see raw descents and the commentary behind it too.

[@SAFABrian]

Much appreciated!

[@orionpatrial]

Beautiful place Safa...a descent from eternity😎😎⛰️⛰️🌳🌳. God, i love this sound.......

[@rafaelhernandezvaras]

Glad to see the guy descending waving to the other ciclist climbing. Respect.

Best road condition I have ever seen!

[@realrussians645]

Great stuff 🎉 Cameraman's work was harder than rider's ❤ Mountain views are breathtaking Thanks

[@chelebov]

Incredible and beautiful ride! Thanks Safa for such good emotions foe me, in time while waiting the bike season . Excellent roads ! best regards from Ukraine

[@zachrafaelpascual8829]

This shit is just straight chill and happiness for me...And they say money can't buy happiness, it's just cause some people just don't use it in a right way!!!

[@bikeman1157]

That was beautiful ❤

[@jacobthies3596]

St. Bernadino, St. Gottardo, Susten, Nufenen, Furka, Grimsel, Grosse Scheidegg, etc. So many ascents of epic proportions here in CH. How about a "Gravity The Foe" video for the climbers out there?

[@bestjal654]

Just insane. Insane skill 👌

[@johnathandaviddunster38]

I almost passed out just watching!!!! 🏔⛰🌳😈

[@E_Gvidon]

Nice roads make it possible to ride like this. Do this in San Francisco and you will end up in the hospital with all the pot holes on the road. Excellent ride!

[@Cycling.in.Romania]

Nothing to see here folks, just two bros doing an EPIC descent in a picture perfect landscape! Absolutely awesome! Too bad the bus ruined the line, were you going to pass thru there in supertuck if it weren`t for the bus? 🏆🏆🏆

[@SAFABrian]

Not in the supertuck but definitely wanted to rail it

[@pietro4772]

I lived in Valle d'Aosta in my youth. It is with great regret that my parents decided to relocate overseas for work. An utter tragedy.

[@pelisinho]

That is sad to read. Ever since the first time I visited Valle d'Aosta it is my goal to move there. Such an amazing place!

[@pietro4772]

@@pelisinho I used to live in the historic centre of Aosta in Via Sant'Anselmo near Porte Praetoria, the Roman gates. Do a google street view to see how lovely it is. One day I will return home, by the Grace of God.

[@pelisinho]

@@pietro4772 I know, I was there just last summer 😊 been going there for the last few years for my vacation. I hope you can return one day! Even though I did not have the luck to live there and grow up there I miss it all the same and I can only imagine how nostalgic it must be for your.

Fantastic curves, dangerous where the big turns like Giro ditália and among others pass, pure technique.

[@Gaaaaaaaaaaad]

Awesome

[@Ndikumana994]

Oooh my God very taste road

[@robertbankers8003]

SAFA, most impressive. How about the possibility of one day a decent at BrassTown Bald the onetime climb of the TOUR DeGeorgia, 2.5 miles of steep decline.

[@RB-lj7ge]

What camera setup is going on here, manages to accurately represent the speed in a way which go pro etc never seems to do

[@runek287]

Well, the number of traffic violations this guy racked up during this descent ... I got fined 120 € a few years ago for crossing the full white line once, and this guy crosses to the left lane over the full white line so many times I lost count, plus overtaking of cars where not allowed, in the face of oncoming traffic because he didn't want to lose momentum (which clearly spooked the oncoming driver, you can hear the driver honk in the video), exceeding the maximum speed limit at several occasions (yes the maximum speed limit also applies to cyclists), ... And for those arguing that he's a good descender with skills and experience, knows what he's doing, has a spotter to help him which makes what he's doing inherentely safe. I say bollocks, all well and true but traffic rules are not up for discussion. This video shows a wanton disregard for the rules, and is an exhibition of antisocial behaviour. Highly objectionable.

[@trdi]

What is power actually measuring? Even without pedaling it's still a non zero value, just dropping towards zero. Mine drops to zero immediately when I stop pedaling, so it can't measure the same thing. Seems it's some kind of a 3 or 5 sec average?

[@cyclingchef3531]

All great and very impressive! But this chain rubbing on front derailleur give me Anxiety

[@youngmurphy7556]

What are those cheap sounding freehubs? What a bloody racket!

[@tansytansy]

a question: going with that velocity, with wind in you ears and everything, can you hear a car approaching you from behind?

[@vitalyakimov3598]

You usually can turn your head slightly so yes you are able to hear car tires. Otherwise, because you are blocking the lane, cars may honk you to ask you to give way to them. You probably have nothing to worry about it at all; cars do not drive fast at the roads like this and after all nobody is going to hit you from behind in any case )

[@tansytansy]

@@vitalyakimov3598 thanks!
