THIS WAS SO DANGEROUS… GRAND FONDO RACING IN SPAIN.

Cheers for watching! Here is the Strava activity for those interested: www.strava.com/activities/7858695753

L C wow filming, commentating, and in the first group, climbs and all. Cheers to you , and really enjoyed the video.

[@gilesbyford3773]

That Miserati climb out of Pego destroyed me Lawrence - like many I took to walking and when the cliff proved endless gave up and rolled back for a beer! Amazed you rode with the top boys, let alone managed to film while doing so. Chapeau, and then some💪💪

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

You have to be an extremely strong rider to converse this easily at this pace. I tip my hat!

[@neilplatt1111]

Great watch, great to see how strong the junior cycling is in Italy (fab area been to garda area before).

[@tonystrange7224]

That looked epic and congrats on the top 20 finish, superb effort. Thanks for filming it Lawrence it couldn’t have been easy at the pace you were going and having to deal with a few issues on the technical descents. All the best.

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Lawrence marches to the tune of his own drums. Carry on!

[@jimpeyton1459]

How you get video on climbs and descents is remarkable. Great episode...you need to rename the vlog Luckiest Man Alive. You are living the dream.

[@TroyTempest0]

Excellent result Lawrence - great riding there and filming at the same time !

[@drewcama2488]

Wow top 20 ! Amazing videography! Those roads looked brand new I want to ride there! Is there a link to the rout besides strava? Oh strava actually worked with out me being a member! LOL strava heading "Afternoon Ride"! 170 Km for most people is a 2 to 3 day ride. Just goes to show how strong a rider you are compared to ,,, well me for sure!

[@CanyonWanderer]

Nice!, that was a seriously paced ride, well done. At some point I heard you mention "Olivia", but I thought I recognised some roads around "Oliva" (my brother in law lives there). Looking at the Strava, the ride covers most ground of our last vacation visiting the area: Ondara, Orba area, Castell de Castells, Pego and Oliva obviously. Apart from the race, nice to see these roads once again! Wow, I just noticed the average speed of the ride on Strava, with over 3000 meters of elevation that average is bonkers!🤯

[@J.S.A.]

That section after the feed stop.😮stunning

[@grandrenard]

Great video as always. Thanks for the inspiration in this cold and damp season 🙏

[@hackgolfer7352]

Great video, shows how fit/fast you are! Excellent

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Finishing 16th.. in a field of thousands of riders.. while vlogging.. is an amazing feat!!

[@axlpxl]

What helmet does your friend has at 6:29? The white one

[@stickymiky123]

Thanks for an awesome video Lawrence. Where was the soundtrack from?

[@archkod]

Beautiful video! Thanks for that and congrats!

[@thecyclingsoldier6732]

the roads are bringing me back to winter camps......jealous!!

[@jayjames100]

Seriously crazy how you race and film.. well done Lawrence great vid 👏👏

[@philwatts2785]

Hi Lawrence, I don't comment very often oh blogs, however, I must say that was a great video well done. How you managed to get so much good content while working so hard outstanding. 👏

[@glennoc8585]

looks like a nice place to ride. Not many over 40 in that Fondo by the looks of it

[@milanb.6022]

Geez... what a beast!

[@alansheard553]

Well done mate that was some effort particularly with a camera too. It did look a bit sketchy at times on those descents though.

[@sjcoventry]

[@bbikerlawrence]

Ahhahaha cheers bro. Much love

[@OllieJonesMod]

[@paulgolf5]

[@Helcc]

[@cholokun]

[@MoccoGinta]

Halo, watch here my friend Thank you for sharing Amazing video

[@iaintokley]

Awesome stuff mate 👏🏻

[@cubatea]

ok, that is superhuman riding that fast, filming at the same time.

[@alainpfammatter8224]

Great video 👍

[@OllieJonesMod]

I miss Calpe

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

There are many (many) overlapping skills and best practices between cycling and motorbiking. A huge difference, however, are grouping and drafting; these are big no-nos in motorbiking.

[@benjaminlechappers]

👌

[@parkysouthlondon]

Were the CAMS reps handing out their business cards to all those riders with, you said it, low skill levels 😅

[@bbikerlawrence]

No business cards Alan but, what a great idea 😜

[@CG-99]

Slowing down the front group!! Strange. I would find that so annoying.

[@OllieJonesMod]

you're so fast zooooooom

[@Helcc]

Could average riders to this do you think I'm no racer

[@bbikerlawrence]

Absolutely, we were up at the front end but it’s catered for all sorts of abilities with different distances too!

[@sweatnosweat]

haha tough you where riding a horse for the first seconds

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

The hand over the lense is an old worn out technique.. now only used by newbs without imagination. Please stop doing that, you are so much better.
