Man, you came in just behind all those heavy hitters (Remco, Superman, WVA), and all on a last-minute whim. Not bad for a retired old fart.

Crazy to see Wout was up there at No.5 with 82 kg. I wonder how much power he had put out for the 14 min climb 😱👊

Good to see you back in Europe Phil. The Canary Islands are wonderful for a winter vacation. I have not biked there yet, but I have hiked a lot. My favorite island is La Palma in the spring when the almond trees are in bloom. I guess next time you have to do the Roque de los Muchachos KOM (in english it means: ""Rock of the Boys"", which is pretty funny) on La Palma. You have all my respect how you go up these climbs - you make it look so easy, it is incredible - omg so close to position 4, damn cars in the hairpins. Have a wonderful time with your wife.

He's explained it in the other videos countless times over and over. Teams usually aren't needing his style of riding. You have to remember that those are just the people on Strava. How many do you think would be able to get above Phil's time if every single World Tour Pro rode up and posted to Strava? Froome was able to pace with two others up Teide. I'm sure the other pros would be able to post a respectable time vs Phil if they weren't racing around the globe.

@@Xhadp I am messing with Phill. His channel allows some healthy sarcasm. just so we’re clear I assure you I understand Strava, world tour and many many other things cycling related pretty well. :) Now let me be even more clear and respond to your comment accordingly, based on how Phill rides today in mid 30 after a major injury for which I believe he had a surgery… it is incredible, I mean phenomenal, to ride at the Mecca cycling training consistently on top 10, without a team. In the whole world maybe there are 5 guys that could do as many KOM attempts or ride 7 hour Everest’s without a full supporting team. not talking about just physical capabilities, talking about the amount of time you need to spend on the bike, nutrition, financial support etc etc and in the end the pure talent you must have it’s incredible…
