Pro Team Soigneur - A Day In The Life Of

Team Astana, as with any other team is not just about the riders.

GCN went behind the scenes with Nicholas Cage, AKA Michele Pallini, soigneur for Team Astana at the Tirreno-Adriatico, to find out what the typical day for one of the men who look after the riders is like.
Soigneurs by definition take care of the riders, and this means long days for the guys who take on the job, waking up at 6:30 and starting work at 7:30. After a full day, bedtime is usually at about 11:30 - midnight. This isn't a job for those who like eight hours sleep a night!

As long as it's not "Ghost Rider" Nicolas Cage you're all good. Man that movie sucked. Then they made a second one! Thanks for spending the time with us guys, really appreciate it.

Yay, more behind-the-scenes! I love videos like this. Soigneurs are crazy-dedicated. Thanks GCN.

The Soigneurs are the backbone of any cycling team.

[@Tanvir6079]

Amazing Lads they are. thank you gcn for showing us the important stuff cycling fans take for granted

[@Jstroman221]

The Nicholas Cage call is epic.

[@yosoypatrick]

Really fascinating film, thanks for this!

[@guymorris1963]

How would a person who is passionate about cycling, working with a pro team and seeing that team succeed go about getting a position like that ? I live in the US but up to going to Europe or even the UK for such a opportunity. I love these awesome behind the scenes videos. Thank you GCN !! I live in Texas and I'm doing my 30 plus miles rides in 90 F plus heat and humidity at 60 percent or above tbis summer.

[@gcn]

Damn! Total missed opportunity.

[@roborovski008]

should have gotten him to do the "You Don't Say?" meme

[@HoboCabbage]

Why is Nicholas cage talking with that accident? I didn't know he was in the cycling biz too.

[@XDSAstanaTeam]

A Raising Arizona-era Nicolas Cage, yes.

I like the video, but the music makes me feel very Depressed. I got a very bad problem with certain things triggering depression in me.
