The racers with a good plan have to avoid the bad burritos and pray for sunshine! That will give them the best chance at the podium. This one is gonna be fun to watch. Look forward to waking up to your race updates Josh. You do a great job of race coverage thank you.

He needs to work on his commentary. Too many “and”, “ums”.

Dirty Dans 5th or 6th run! He recently crushed the Baja Divide, Columbia and a double Everest fund raiser. He’s strong both mentally and physically and couldn’t be a nicer guy . Go Dirty go!!!

Good coverage Josh. I drove up to Banff early, missed the first group leaving :( It was super cool to see all the different rigs. The temperature had a little bite in the morning, drizzly rain, sun and gusts of wind making it cool in the afternoon.

Glad you are back again this year doing updates. You do an awesome job. Should be an interesting race. Weather next week looks terrible in Montana...

@egalegal2058 Ай бұрын

Sleeping early in Fernie could be a learning from Lachlan Morton not official run through the track. I think over the course of two weeks it can be wise to sleep (almost) every night. And it can also be wise to sleep indoors and then Fernie would be the only option for the first night. I see them sleeping again in Colombia Falls or Ferndale and then Lincoln or Helena. According to trackleaders last year they slept in elkhorn Springs for the first time (after 800 miles or 3,5 days).

@egalegal2058 Ай бұрын

And they already almost caught up to the leader. I think they can be faster to the toilet stop in the basin with sleeping more/daily compared to last year. Laurence ten dam slept even more (almost 6 hours). Next question is, wether more sleep is even faster?

@joshibbett Ай бұрын

Agree with that for sure

@PhilEnsminger Ай бұрын

100% this. UB in particular has talked about the emerging case for more sleep in these races.

Check out Jay Hefner..trained for this race by riding from Memphis, Tn. to Banff (over 2300 mi)..all this 2 weeks before the race. I think that’s AWESOME!

@alanhanley2981 Ай бұрын

Thanks Josh marvelous as ever and great wit. I wonder, as its too early to tell, if the big hitters so to speak are adopting the Lachlan approach. Of quality rest and consequently higher quality moving time....Will be interesting to see. Also fascinating to see how the British Mountain bikers go, as in theory the bad weather is their bread and butter.

@hilton_meyer Ай бұрын

Be cool to get your view into when the riders start to pay for these allnighters. Seeing as this is not a short race

Such a great idea to do this coverage!! Thanks! I’m rooting for Mateo Paez👀

Could be the weather or riders getting more careful. Lawrence is friends with Ted who rode strong last year before he got sick. Ted slept every day and Ulrich barely slept first 3 days last year.

I live in Northern Kalispell near Whitefish. I am training for the last best ride here July 28. So I will be riding in the area where the tour riders will be coming down towards Whitefish lake I’d really like to meet Ryan Van Dozer. Let me know if I can help you out with anything, I appreciate your videos the weather forecast has quickly changed and spring weather has disappeared. From today through mid week seems sketchy.

@DonBunk1 Ай бұрын

Thanks for your fine race coverage Josh. Question: Given potentially very muddy conditions, assuming use of chain/derailleur setup, what would your protocol be for optimally maintaining a chain(s) over such a long route?
