Training ride with Romain Bardet, John Degenkolb, and Team dsm-firmenich PostNL [part 1]

[@twraven1]

Years ago when I lived in Philadelphia I had the opportunity to ride with some of the teams of the time during a flat training ride. They let me sit in on the back of the group where I couldn’t do any damage. Great experience and memory.

[@EyeByBrian]

Come to Montreal and Quebec City in the autumn for the two World Tour races-always good opportunities to ride with the pros, especially in Montreal. They stay downtown. If you’re respectful and competent, you can often latch on to a group doing a training recon, especially on Mont Royal.

[@twraven1]

@@EyeByBrian in 2003 or 2005 a friend and I attended the Worlds in Hamilton. We didn’t take our bikes. It was a great race. I think Bettini won?

[@conradluna5474]

Checking out how close they are to each other when they ride. So cool! Thanks Safa.

[@CycoWarriorx]

Romain is hilarious… glad you warned them about the mic… 😂😂😂😂🙌🏽… what an awesome experience… 🍻

[@mlong73127]

Safa always churning out amazing content. Thank you!

[@RobertJWaid]

Great to ride with or watch ride a group of eight to twelve riders who know each other and know how to ride.

[@sandrochiavaro7831]

The pro’s artistic director 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Gardyy_1]

soooo cool, need more of this

[@oceanedetotes]

Romain Bardet is a real champ, the best for me. fit and powerful for 15 years now

[@reinholdachleitner2069]

Awesome video and super cool team and rider's,the roads there are really smooth,they look like marble.💯✌🏻🚴‍♂️

[@stuartdryer1352]

Something incredibly zen about watching this.

[@secularist1969]

casually taking off a gilet on a 6.8% grade while in a double paceline...true pro.

[@CycoWarriorx]

At a 6.8 grade I’m either creating new curse words or rethinking my life choices… not going hands free, on a climb and taking off a gilet… 😂 that’s a level I’m definitely not at..😂😂😂

[@flyin_h]

@@CycoWarriorx Let's say you could ride no hands up 6.8%, what if your hand got caught and now both your arms are behind your back...now what 😂

[@CycoWarriorx]

@@flyin_h 🤣🤣🤣 how does the Lord’s Prayer go again… 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@TheJuice4you]

Do you have the time stamp

[@bennyheng662]

haha romain bardet is classic rider!

[@kerrysupporter]

I enjoyed watching that. Nice roads. Nice pace

[@NeoPayneHK]

i really love their jersey kit!!!

[@bethearl8686]

Thanks!

[@miltonlzbustamante]

Thanks man. Great vid. Waiting for the 2nd part!

[@Armitage574]

love it. beautiful scenery! thx for recording that!

[@maxisamael]

Gotta love John Degenkolb 🥰

[@haughie61]

it must be a pleasure to ride on these beautiful roads

[@brunomfduque]

Impressive how much hours this PRO guys have, making 300w SOOOOOO smooth and easy when a amateur pushing hard and shaking to make same efforts !

[@TJ-uh5rh]

great vid! cant wait for part two

[@dag221]

Degenkolb in his 47th year of pro racing it seems like. Not bad for someone who is lucky to be walking or even be alive after that horrible accident.

[@peterkariuki5140]

Romain Bardet stage win at the tour de France was such a marvel

[@fanda6122]

9:37 u need to give the ABLOC rider a shoutout in the description too lol

[@peterkariuki5140]

How are they able to ride so close to each other and still remain calm

[@jujunggala4243]

Beautiful roads. 🥰

[@ilovedogs4306]

This is really cool

[@goolug]

They move like one solid carbon fibre brick, so tight

[@whatsupdawg9436]

I hope you had a fun ride!

[@TomHeavey]

strangely satisfying to watch. They were so uniform in their movements. How come you weren’t in among them at any point? Is it a safety thing, or bad etiquette? Or for the full view? the view was cool from behind.

[@TESTA-CC]

Cheers Guys 🤙🇬🇧

[@ElSenorJorge]

Please more team DSM rides

[@Jorgenssen-2020]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo Bravissimo

[@alvaroodeh4794]

La fustera, my local roads. SAFA will you come down for preseason this year?

[@MEDMD35]

Trop bien!

[@H85K]

Abfahrt😅 Tritt rein in den Esel. 1800 Watt will ich sehn😂

[@RobotCycling]

I wanted to see Safa's heartrate going up that first big hill...

[@robertkok3200]

Thanks love it

[@ussoyturk]

I don't know your language well enough. I know you shared the kits in the description. Please, I would like to know what device and camera you use on the chest.

[@RockyManiti]

@SAFABrian what kind of gimbal are you using? Thank you 😊

[@old_skool_kid]

awesome!

[@RockyManiti]

what kind og gimbal are you using SAFABrian? please. Thanks

[@sigfreed11]

Would you consider racing in the upcoming indieVelo Grand Tour? 5 day stage race with GC, mountain, and Sprint jersey! It’s a team race and I’m sure you could come up with a solid team to fight for a jersey!

[@sigfreed11]

Details should be coming out soon on the Zommunique website

[@kentwong3818]

I was about to ask why the long sleeve kit but then saw the video description this was before the start of the season. Do you remember the temps by chance? Single digit Celcius in the morning?

[@moritzbichler8235]

hey, which app you use for video with speed etc included? thanks alot!

[@AzShooter]

How many kilometers did you travel in this video?

[@keihnungm2011]

according to the strava ride safa linked in the description, about 27km

[@AlohaAloha-f2v]

Go Romain!

[@tariqcollins2609]

Where’s the young dude who led the tour

[@Zhanna-f9v]

💯💯💯

[@ПавелВладимирович-ф7ч]

why doesn't anyone write down the distance traveled?

[@LaszloFarkas89]

Dege

[@SAFABrian]

A really nice guy 😊

[@Lepus-bender]

спасибо

[@neilzhang1514]

They are chatting happily when making 300w😅

[@nathanthomas3694]

Where is the track bike

[@Mysiamesecatblue]

Sitting at the immigration desk like… can you spell that name one more time…slowly please

[@MrYAMAHA32177]

Very nice SAFA!

[@carmafluxus]

Abfahrt!

[@ТалгатЕсжанов-д1э]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@muhdhisyam2144]

Can spill what kind of device that u mount in your helmet

[@St0n3dCold]

A GoPro probably

[@ericsyd]

You can see the setup @1:22 looks like a GoPro on a gimbal

[@def4425]

🤩💪🚀

[@jkotsche7035]

Not sure of the timing of this video, but congrats to Romain on his stage win at TDF. A great way to exit. la sinistra😉

[@baponmondal7585]

❤❤❤❤❤😮😮

[@kishgee2440]

Camera name

[@nononsense2688]

They should have given Safa a kit!!

[@SAFABrian]

😂

[@mpereirawolf]

Those guys were pretty scared of you 😅

[@Frankenpedaleur]

09:38 his rear wheel came very close to his front wheel 😧😱

[@chickenpoodle]

yeah he got pretty sloppy with his line when he was out of the saddle, with his bike weaving around a lot. but while it looked like they were close to touching wheels, i think it just looks a lot closer than it really was. just perspective, i suppose. from the looks of it, there was about 6 inches between their wheels.

[@baponmondal7585]

♥️🚲🚲♥️

[@93benja]

I miss safa in a fixed gear

[@gregnichols2140]

I'm totally not saying Roman Bardet name incorrect, not even close! Sorry! Where is Kevin Vermaerke? you where then the sole American on that ride

[@edt6488]

Romain Bardet pretending he's Romain Combaud!

[@bethearl8686]

Thanks for posting. A little too slow for me but you guys look good from behind.

[@vktravellog1242]

I maybe can do 300 watts for a min and my legs would be cooked 😂😂😂😂

[@MiguelLerace]

Hi, I'm Miguel Lerace from Rodrigues island😅

[@sweatnosweat]

races should be much shorter, teams having more options during the year, would make the entire pro industry much more fun.

[@victorkirevnin2011]

Very boring
