What REALLY happened in Roth.

[@Hestyjka2]

Having a mechanical and still performing the way you did... One really has to have some solid balls to finish a race when something fucks up so badly. We watched it at home and all were impressed by your performance. Huge congrats!

[@tk5422]

Thousand Thx for joining Roth! Honor to have you. Very reflected and respectful- you are a good guy. Please come back!

[@svenw8781]

Tack Daniel. Ser mycket fram emot din revansch in Roth 2024.

[@pouwerplay]

Love the recap and can understand the hunger to come back to this race. It's unlike any other. See you there in 2024?! ✌🏼

[@sodaresoda]

Thanks a lot for sharing your personal feelings and insights both as a person and a pro athelete. It's a privilege.

[@runwithrich1512]

Love this guy’s attitude. Awesome KZbin as well. So much production value compared to other pros in the sport doing YT as well

[@Rolf1702]

Fantastic review. Thanks a lot Daniel!! My first time climbing up Solar hill in 1995 I also will never forget ;-)! Need to come back to feel it again.

[@gusrallim]

So cool hearing Daniel talk about the crowd

[@MrTMSG]

Massive probs for being honest about the "battery-fuckup" ... a lot of the others would have made up some "mysterious damage to the shifting" ;-)

[@richardallbert]

This video is brilliant. I hardly ever comment, but had to here. Well done, and thanks for the open and honest content. Love the way you race. I've followed all forms of tri since 2006, its always the people that go all out that make the sport a spectacle and draw people. I'm pretty sure you'll be on the top step of a huge race soon.

[@davidh.5795]

Rly cool video. Will watch it more times in my prep for Roth next year. Thx!

[@deNudge]

Signed up for Roth 2024 (and bought a bike with an electronic shifting ☺). See you there next year, my friend!

[@dersteira]

i am sorry that it did not work out for you on that day but i am 100% sure that you'll achieve all the things that you're meant to achieve because you deserve it! Can't wait to see you win in Roth next year. Keep up the positiv attitude and mind. such a cool dude and athlete!!

[@pauldermody1343]

Your a legend Daniel,so honest and no BS.

[@flourbvoy1269]

Thank you for these race recaps and all the insights. Looking forward to saying you in Roth next year. :)

[@burkertpeggy8548]

Sad for your mechanical defekt, absolutely impressing race🎉🎉🎉

[@kenavr]

I am sure it hurts, but just knowing that you seem to be in a great spot to contend in stacked races should give you some relieve and motivation for the future. It's really amazing seeing your love for the race.

[@manuelsilva6833]

Such a raw video, Daniel. Believe it or not, it's messages like the one you shared that make us motivated. All the best for the future and strike hard, we know what you worth!

[@markwt2680]

Really appreciate your video - humble, honest and real/genuine. From an age grouper who takes this seriously and therefore feels the nerves (because we care) I found it powerful to know we aren’t alone!

[@PJanow4711]

Wow ... great Video! Looking forward to see you in Roth next year!!!

[@albinodias7345]

Daniel you are such a nice person. Sensitive and a explendid athlete. You deserve all the best in life and on this beautiful sport.

[@smellslikemoshpit]

Man, I feel you. Your day will come to prevail in Roth. You keep on going 💪

[@BVBKalle]

Great video - respect for your honest words & the race - I hope to see you in Roth in 2024

[@CleanDogz]

Sad about your mechanical but despite very impressive racing💪 Better luck with the next races 🏆

[@cnaustin1]

Love your introspection, work ethic and personality. Rooting for you. Keep going strong.

[@TriathlonDan]

Excellent debrief Daniel, thank-you for the insight! See you next year....

[@Cheersmate1]

Amazing review, race and mental toughness! Keep going and see you in Roth 2024 👌🏻🏅

[@Abudirs]

Thank you for sharing I did Roth in 2019 and I can relate to every single bit of the experience So sorry for the mechanical and congrats on your mental strength to ride on ❤ All the best

[@carstenstegemann8541]

You are the f*** greatest 😉 Shit happens… But you still finished 4th!!!! Great Job!!! Thanks for the honest words. See you there next year on the Podium 😊

[@frederikfogt7649]

Fantastisk at du bare koerte igennem selvom du ikke havde en let dag, super godt Daniel - glaeder mig til at se dig igennem resten af aaret!!

[@onepunchbud1472]

I wanted to start there again this year but because of an injury I needed to push the start to next year. Man and I missed all the stars of our sport including Sebi with his last race in Germany 😥 Hard to imagine having all the legends racing there next year again. Made a few races in Europe and Roth is so cool. The people there with the beautiful landscape - there is no better race out there imo. "The home of triathlon" - this is just right. I hope to see you next year Daniel! It would be great to see you having a great performance there, I know you can win this thing! 👍

[@M_M007_]

Great Video, the Race in Roth was impressive and I wish you the best for your future races! You are a nice Person👍🏼

[@ChristianMueller22]

Big fan of you, supercool danish dude :-) I cheered 2 times at Kalvarienberg & Lände Roth. Your run style with so much energy! C u in 2024!

[@cdnnurse01]

Exciting day to watch, keep the fire in your belly and this race will make you become it's Phoenix you will rise from these ashes lastly tape a battery on the bike, happens more often then people think...good job.

[@ulrichlanger3782]

Thank you for coming to Roth.

[@alfonsoahuja9830]

Great job despite the mechanical. Looking forward to seeing you back but until then best for the rest of the season.

[@ironman140.6]

Fantastic open interview!!

[@georgesa.videau8332]

Great video! Quality and insights. Thank you.

[@sergivilanovaduran7570]

What is the name of the song? Can you add them to the description of your videos, they are usually epic!

[@nicholajhertz5822]

Din bedste video til dato🎉 kæmpe fan

[@KS-go2ig]

Without bad days there would not be good days. Chapeau.

[@hbboy196]

Such a nice personality!

[@lanemonroe7257]

Is that redbull hat you raced in for sale anywhere?

[@CalebNoonan83]

whats the pre race breakfast look like at that time?

[@bohansen2960]

Vildt nok. Men ja, ting sker 😂. Stærkt at holde hovedet relativt koldt oven på alt det bøvl. Og ja helt enig - de frivillige får det hele til at ske. Så kæmpe tak til dem ihvertfald 🎉. Shit en stemning mand 😊😊😊

[@tomasvalve930]

Great words🙌

[@user-py8ko1wn5d]

you best!

[@TheJacobBennett]

I’m my opinion this dude has created the best character in the sport! Need someone like Paddy the Baddy or Conor McGregor or Dennis Rodman or a Diego Maradona! Someone that’s created a character people want to see to blow up the sport! Don’t really matter if they win! Just need a wild card to make some noise! At least for the USA! Obviously sport is Huge wherever Race Roth is, pretty sure it Germany but at this dude says who give a fu

[@Amanda_K_001]

Challenge Roth is the best

[@fabianthaesler1317]

👏👏👏👏👏!!!

[@FreadonSchread]

he looks like sebi if he has the suit and helm on

[@nightsfalling]

You raced as a top contender that had a mechanical, don’t be too hard on yourself.

[@DRD8CZ]

Bro just go back to mechanical dura ace with freaking cables. No batteries or wires letting you down next time. Working technology for 100 years. I am seeing pros dropping out because of electric shifting for years and don't get it.

[@okimy3668]

If they were riding mechanical, you'd see them dropping out bc of snapped shifter cables, stuck derailleurs, etc. Both systems have their failure modes, but since pros only ride electronic, you only ever see that fail

[@DRD8CZ]

@@okimy3668 I do not agree. Fewer complex systems like mechanical shifters are less likely to fail out of nowhere.

[@okimy3668]

@@DRD8CZ I don't know about that, and tbh I'm not fully convinced. Maybe that's just because a friend of mine had bad luck with cables snapping etc., I haven't had problems (except for adjusting my front derailleur, with is a pain with the newer Shimano ones). Though I'd argue mechanical is more complex, with paddles and cable pull ratios instead of buttons and programmed servo motors. But it's also tried and tested, which is why it works so well. However if you've ever ridden electronic shifting, you'll know that's just more precise and faster than anything an amatuer mechanic could ever set up. Pro mechanics can set mechanical up to be just as good for sure, but they also have a lot of bikes to work on during stage races, which makes electronic the simpler choice. Less to go wrong in that case, but sometimes it still does. As with everything, it's a case of maintentance. Whether that be charging a battery or changing cables, indexing, etc. I actually did a race today, and on the way there I saw someone at the side of the road, working on their mechanical shifting (I know that's not an argument, but just anecdotal, my Ultegra was fine till I crashed, and then it was still fine and I rode on)
