What Was The Vuelta Really Like? Full Interview With Jay Vine

[@troycollett8540]

Jay is such a cool guy.loved his live feeds with Matt during the Vuelta

[@troycollett8540]

Keen to hear more from jay

[@wendysuperfan1014]

3rd time I've watched. Thanks guys!!

[@wendysuperfan1014]

Such a good interview Chris and jay. Interesting to hear about a day in the peloton. Thanks guys.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

So glad you enjoyed it windy thanks again for the comment

[@andycampbell8766]

Brilliant

[@wendysuperfan1014]

I just watched this for the 2nd time. So so interesting. Thanks Jay for sharing with us. Thanks Chris!!

[@photonfantastic]

Great interview, Chris. Really enjoyed it. Jay, you rock! You’ve got a fan in me.

[@margaretphillips4479]

That was Vic Olden and me screaming go Jay at Mt Buninyong, loved it! And ‘learn’t his talking skills’ well coached Chris M and Luke M! Great race insights, thanks for sharing. #getwreckedjay

[@nadgeemark]

Thanks Chris and Jay. I followed the Vuelta religiously and always clicked onto Chris Horner or Lantern Rouge’s commentary after each stage; however, I found your insightful questions and Jay’s open and honest answers gave me an entirely new perspective on professional cycling at the highest level. Keep it up Chris, outstanding effort. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hi Mark, thanks for the comment. I think a lot of my questions stemmed from finding it very confusing and almost insulting the way some media outlets seemed to want to pigeonhole him. I loved the fact J talked about on the road everyone is equal and all the riders just don’t care and get on with it. Sometimes I wish the media would see that. Thanks again for the comment

[@merrickunderwood8495]

Great interview! I couldn't shake the feeling that it looked like Angel Chris sitting on Jay's shoulder and I was waiting the whole video for Devil Chris to appear on Jay's other shoulder!

[@johnphelan7663]

Fantastic interview. Jay is very articulate and great to listen to.

[@davidmclauchlan1794]

Awesome insight and interview. Still hard to comprehend that a guy who used to whizz by me on my office commutes in Canberra is taking part in a grand tour.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hi David, it is such a cool story and I think the fact we all have shared a little bit of it makes it that much better. Hopefully will be cheering him on for many years to come

[@craigwhittaker8611]

Great interview Chris, so good to see Jay doing so well in the big game, bit surprised you didn’t go there with the stage podium got be an awesome thing to have ridden with the guy that crashed on a stage and fought back to finish on the podium

[@yannickokpara4861]

Great down-to-earth chat, really felt like I was being carried along and nice to know a bit more in-depth about the meal and living accommodations, how a team goes about fuelling their riders etc. It's great to hear a rider be quite open when asked instead of shrouding it all in this mysterious pro fog that makes the pro level seem so inaccessible/unachievable as an aspiring amateur.

[@spuds1002]

Great interview Chris, Jay is tough as, the way he regrouped and got back into the lead group after that spill. Looking forward to seeing how he progresses with this GT experience behind him now. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnpotter4555]

Like others Chris, I was super impressed with your interview/chat with Jay. The relaxed situation between the two of you made for some really revealing insights. More please.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hi John, thanks for the comment. Really easy to interview a great mate like him. We will be cheering him on

[@michaelquinlan4817]

Definitely one of the few things I've watched lately where I have been glued to the screen the entire time. Chris, you were more serious and intense than I think I can remember. Great interview, thanks Chris and Jay! Good luck with the Nero talent quest.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

HAHA! Thanks mate, really enjoyed doing it. The “seriousness” was more me trying to shut my mouth and let Jay talk. Nothing bugs me more in cycling podcasts where the interviewer yaps on and on and we never get to hear anything from the actual person being interviewed. Glad you enjoyed it mate.

[@paulw677]

Took your advice and watched this interview whilst on the trainer. Suffice to say I can only dream of an FTP near his 430 watts 😉 Really enjoyed the interview and hearing what it takes to ride in the peloton and survive a GT. It’s an amazing story, watching do well for Nero, winning the Zwift Academy and then performing so well on the WT, even flying under the radar of many fellow competitors. I reckon some of them will think twice before letting him join the breakaway in the future. Looking forward to watching Jay’s progression and wish him all the very best during this incredible journey.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Great comment Paul, thanks so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, I think we all feel a little part of his journey

[@richardwerne9018]

Great interview and congrats to Jay on a great tour!!

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hey Richard, thanks for the comment. Truth is I think we will all be cheering him on hopefully for many years to come

[@BrettKelly74]

Well done Chris and Jay, I love the insight into how the team works behind the scenes. Love how you didn’t sugarcoat it and told it raw really gives a great appreciation for how much talent you have to compete at the top level. Enjoy your week off Jay.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hey Brett, as always thanks for the really positive comments, makes doing this that much better

[@dylan_mckenna98]

This was a seriously good watch, I wasn't sure I'd get through 30 mins and it was over before I knew it. Jay is a massive inspiration for me, as I am sure he is for many others. Cracking video Chris, you might be making another one of these in 12 months time...a few Nero lads are looking the goods for Zwift Academy this year!

[@isekaitri7334]

Thank you for showcasing us an inside look at a Grand Tour!!!

[@JamesBoz]

Great chat!

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Thanks james!

[@sundayeightpm]

Great chat guys...real good insight from 'one of the alumni' - such a good story. Good luck with Il Lombardia Jay. Oh, and cannot believe you didn't talk fashun?

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Haha!!! That would’ve been one hell of a short interview 😂

[@leroy_who]

That was excellent. Thanks, Chris, and well done, Jay.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hey Leroy. Cheers for that mate, hopefully will be able to do a few more of these now we have gone logistics of it down.

[@danieltehan1028]

Great interview, loved watching him do his thing on the world stage

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hey Daniel. Thanks for the comment, yeah I think everyone here on the channel will be cheering him on

[@markhallowell4059]

Great interview Chris. So good to hear from Jay.

Cheers Mark, thanks for the comment. So happy we finally got a chance to sit down and the interview came out okay

[@johnmaloney4768]

[@leedenton870]

Really good interview & great insight. 👍Keep up the good work Chris.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@carlospinho5970]

Great video! All the real stuff we wanna hear without the usual non sense press conference clichés! Keep it up Chris, and good luck on the Lombardia Jay!

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hey Carlos, thanks for the comment. We wanted to make it as naturally chat as possible hopefully that came across.

[@Tim_McMurray]

Great chat guys, and awesome to follow Jay's journey. It certainly is a cool story.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hi team, thanks for the comment. Hopefully will be cheering him on for many years to come

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Oh and of course me … once I get to the world tour… probably in the next couple of years 😂😂

[@vicvdw459]

I made that sign with my kids, it’s still spray painted into my driveway so for next years race we’ll reuse the template 😎

[@derekcravenPT]

A great interview. Jay gave us some wonderful insights. Thank you.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Our pleasure!

[@felixjackson2670]

Great. Thanks guys.

[@zedgee4514]

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@damianvears4149]

Great interview guys. Please keep these going.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Will do Damian

[@DanTuber]

The food situation sounds tough.

[@garylugg9860]

chris awesome video , well done to Jay and also to yourself for being a big part of where he and cycling locally is at. subscribed and liked fella so i am in that better half of the 50% :)

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hey Gary, thanks for the comment. And of course the subscription ♥️

[@Gibbo63]

Late to the party but great vid

[@dazzatm6028]

Love your work mate

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Cheers Dazza

[@cyc00000]

Unreal video guys

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Thanks Mate!

[@bradmac1299]

Awesome vid Chris. Keen to know what Jay was like whilst on your team/NRS? Was he a standout from the start, or constant progression, or just made a big leap all of a sudden? Always interesting to chart different riders rise up the ranks. Cheers

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hey Brad, best way to answer that is take a look at the videos from about 2 years back starting with New Zealand Cycle classic, his whole jorney from MTB hubbard to WT pro is there.

[@steventnegri]

That’s was great, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one wondering how he was or if you all keep in touch

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Hey Stephen, thanks for the comment. Yeah J and I became pretty good mates over the last couple of years, I think we both felt like we went through quite a journey together. Hopefully more to come

[@markanderson7412]

Thanks Chris 🤙

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

No problem 👍

[@nicksibly526]

Like an articulate outsider who got dropped into the alien world of pro cycling. Very interesting perspective.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Indeed.

[@occyman]

After looking at your choice of glasses at the start it puts your previous video on jersey fashion into context….

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

HAHA!! Great spot

[@82vitt]

How are they providing proteins, vitamins and micronutrients though if they are allowed to eat only rice, pasta, bread and eggs? Eggs are a good source of protein and some micronutrients, but they are also highly allergic, so can't be consumed in excess day by day. Food supplements? Vegetable juice?

[@syc227]

Didn't talk about that crash while at the team car... Pure fatigue?

[@TD05SSLegacy]

24:24 there’s cyclists. And there’s fans of cyclists
