The Perfect Italian Road - Pray For Speed Switzerland [ep.01]

The first ride of the trip and the only descent not in Switzerland. The Italian side of the Great Saint Bernard Pass was an amazing way to start off. One of the best roads I've ridden to date.

So beautiful one could cry! Roads are pretty nice too 😜

[@SAFABrian]

😂💐

[@UpperEchelon8]

SAFA is a great story teller. 😊

[@nl_2652]

Dream rollercoaster for cycling gooooood lawd

[@letriciabrowder2942]

Also the fact that you've been doing this for 20 years is insane, you look like you're in your 20s!

[@messi9991]

Sounds like it too!

[@deltagchemistry12]

It’s the sunscreen he wears

[@almightyyotto]

Right! This man is dedicated to his craft.

[@Powerwashincrocs]

Love the breakdown, this Pray for Speed was one of my favorite videos! Epic stuff

[@matejknopp309]

Pure joy! I feel like I am riding with you when watching it and enjoying it on max. Looking forward for the next one!

[@percival3830]

Fabulous composure throughout, and as ever such smooth technique, you're a joy to watch.

[@stevereaburn7626]

great to hear your insights into the ride, the planning and talking through it. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@m4tzeeh]

I dont own a street bike like this but i love watching this content. I'm riding mountainbikes but this also seems very very fun

[@letriciabrowder2942]

Watching this was therapeutic for me and you've certainly got the voice lol 👌

[@user-fr8yk3gg3c]

Согласно с Вами)) Это поездка так шикарна, что мозг перезагружается от серости будней и суеты города. И понимаешь, что маленькое счастье есть в моменте приятного звука рокота от втулки Dt swiss в супер велосипеде Scott и горного воздуха вокруг, с потрясающим ландшафтом локации....))

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot2324]

Admire the effort you put in catching steady with the rider in front plus the hairpins are awesome. The view is magnificent ...

[@peterhuber659]

Stunning! Again thanks for sharing!

[@Matthew-ez4ze]

This is the most beautiful area you've bombed down, and I think I've seen most of your rides. Perfect job riding with a high-visual-horizon and hitting the apex of those turns. Damn these are fun to watch. Stay safe!

[@orionpatrial]

The Addict's and Foil's House - amazing 😎

[@stapablo21]

Hermosa ruta elegiste Safa para este episodio. Felicitaciones a vos y todo el equipo 👏

🇬🇧No mumbling Dude Fantastic Narration! Superb Riding Safa!👌🤘😎🤘

[@breddary]

Yeah, SAF, I like this style with stats and commentary too. You got it 💯

[@JL-ui4zn]

I am so envious. What a ride.

[@javiertorres2028]

Trabajé en una tienda de ciclismo en la cdmx y el buen Safa era repartidor de una revista que escribía de puro ciclismo, siempre andaba en su bici fixie. Buenos recuerdos.

[@ameasureofpipps]

Awesome ride and awesome commentary 👌🏻

[@amirmi4724]

You are so pro Brian I like so much your riding

[@sadracrovi]

Love the commentary!

[@liamkaloy]

actually if you crash at ~70kmh coming home with bruises and broken bone is optimistic variant

[@Kaiweeks]

lol

[@johnhodgkins3239]

Different class man! Wow

[@allan4922]

Great commentary 👏

[@ragle8684]

[@Thirtyeight45]

This is now one my death wish ride before i die. Absolutely gorgeous

[@shishirshiragave5159]

This is great Safa

[@axebuzz]

That feeling that SAFA has when he misses his line through his most anticipated corner coz of a Bus...Well, you get that on every corner on Indian roads :D Epic video!!!

[@Leonclarkson]

Love it!

[@AnuragNKtours]

inspired for world tour on paddles.... bec of you brother. Thanks a lot

Nice run !

[@leslie7922]

Really impressed with the tyres not gone lie

[@johnknox4293]

Awesome

[@yijuntey]

1:59 this tunnel reminded me of the Epic KOM on zwift that I just rode through hahaha

[@mAF1A29]

Just imagine climbing all of that road solo. dream

[@CycoWarriorx]

B, imma get you a shirt that says “bad ass man, international edition”… 😂🙌🏽🍻… seriously tho, the weather, scenery and road look amazing….

[@DanielOliveiraViolao]

Great!

[@VeloVios]

Beautiful ride. I know the end crushed you a bit, but I hope you went back to hit it. Also don't stress about the speed mate, this is just as entertaining as the suicide runs

[@huntedhunter]

the goat

[@PierreAlainMaire]

That side of the pass was rebuilt something like 5 years ago - now the swiss side looks awful 😂 good thing you didn't have all the usual campers 👍🏻

[@gauthier13]

I love your videos, I'm on my rest day but I want to go out and ride ahah ! How do you get the data and the elevation profile ? I'm struggling getting those

[@AvenirC.S]

Next episode is here🙌

[@TheHooniverse]

Have you gone over your shooting setup before? Super curious as it seems way better than what you could get with a GoPro, but some people are damn good at grading GoPro footage.

[@warwickpoole]

I'm not religious, but these roads make me want to pray for Brian's speed.

[@tosheshdaulta8899]

I wonder if Safa’s hair helps the wind buffeting over his tuck or worsens it.

[@nitim62_mtbbrasil]

🚀🚀🚀

[@socialistcinema]

Wow...

[@stan4902]

Yo Safa, could you please narrate for every video you make brother? god bless. Love your content!!!! ❤

[@naisbest3020]

What do you use to overlay the speed/rpm etc on the video?

[@paultomlinson528]

Do you modulate both brakes?

[@dleetr]

Maybe the Swiss built that road as a gift and for the safety of their drivers going down the other side of the pass. heh.

[@AndrewL]

I was in Geneva Swizerland 3 weeks ago It was so cold and raining and snowing. My fingers were numb because the gloves were wet...can you recommend a water proof gloves suitable for 0 degree celsius ?

[@geopolityk1160]

love italian road in switzerland, they just hit different

[@Endeavour1982]

Going this way uphill looks far more delicious for me...

[@seastar32]

Is that Karma grip on the helmet? Is it comfortable?

[@TonAdor23]

which gimbal do you use?

[@DiomedesChinaski]

Primeiro comentário

[@skimonyoung]

Is this shot on the GoPro or the insta360?

[@nesvadi]

that sound of a chainsaw is beautiful

[@nitim62_mtbbrasil]

[@Rakehell007]

The GPS unit is not perfect in determining the speed. Attach a speedometer to your wheel for accurate speeds 😉

[@exusiaiii]

3rd here!

[@along2613]

Why do i feel like i've seen this route from on NFS

[@mariusz3722]

What tyre and presure do you use?

[@SAFABrian]

Corsa 28 or 30 and 60psi

[@mariusz3722]

@@SAFABrian 25mm would be better? I ride 25mm conti competition tubalars on Alps There are graphs shows that after 35km 25mm are much faster than 28mm

[@Kaiweeks]

@@mariusz3722 he doesn't really do videos where he cycles a descent that near 35km but I'm sure if he were to tackle a route like that then he'd come prepared for it

[@gyyhghuiggij9319]

I'm tired of watching the same mountain descent videos all the time😅

[@christocan4710]

In my view the cutting in the opposite lane is not a good idea apart when roads are closed. So easy to overlook someone on a bike. I experienced that too often. And then when I saw you doing the super tuck I knew you are an unsafe rider. Hope to never „meet“ you.
