You nearly got taken out by the person who thought that you should stand in the middle of the trail fixing a mechanical 😮

What about Rudy Project The wing???!!!

If this constant conveyor belt of low pressure systems keep hitting the UK we'll never get that 'thinner air' spell we should get so pb's will be tough for anyone this year.

you must watch Dylan Johnson's stuff. he's learning every race.

The most important question: what has Phil done to his face??

We have a series of circuit races in Norfolk at the Lotus Hethel test track. It’s great as a way in to road racing, I’ve just done my first two and it’s been fun and just the right level of challenge. Unfortunately the numbers of entrants aren’t what they used to be and it’s only just keeping afloat from what I’ve heard. Need to get the word out and encourage more people to try

Awesome looking weather. Look forward to when Pikes Peak is shared with road cyclists :D

There's good racing to be had round the Lotus test track near Norwich - plenty of safe space, lots of wind and it's freezing year round!

Best cycling content on UA-cam. You make all these events seem more accessible by showing how friendly and relaxed they are, which perhaps is testament to your character. You've also struck the right balance of casual viewing and nerd content.

why don't you use power meter for the TT bike?

Was this filmed in January? I thought it was summer in uk right now

At Goodwood! I recognize that circuit! Nice!

Nice ride! How did that feel with no warm up?

So cool to see my local track, raced here last night, sorry I missed you we couldn't put a team together in the end 😢

Regarding the Spec TT5 helmet. Does the balaclava come out when you don’t use it? Or do you just stuff it up top when you don’t wear it? I heard it was attached and had to be cut out to be removed. Is that true or does it pop in and out with a snap/clip?

Aintree race (horses) course, has a racecar track, that has been used for cycling Also all horse racing courses, have a tarmac service road, that follow the track, ( used for doctor/ambulance/vets ), could be hired for cycling events?

Wisdom doth speak 🙌

Good to see Alex & nice effort there, shame about the legs. So, why do you & Nathan not take lighter TPU inner tubes for emergancy rather than Buytl?

Love the road bike national championship quip. George was doing a TT bike fit with me the day after

I love how you keep recording top results...when you don't use a power meter. 😁 I would guess you've been doing this long enough that you know what your body is going to let you do on any given day, and you can just ride free. Also you're probably not holding back a little like the teams who are almost certainly worried about overlap and slipping in a corner in these conditions.

So do you think the GP TT TR 25mm has actually less wet grip than the Corsa Speed? I know that most people are not really fans of the Corsa speed in such conditions...

I'm amazed at how greasy race circuits seem to be, I did a Duathlon at a damp Castle Combe and had a drifty moment at Quarry ( effectively the first corner) that definitely grabbed my attention 😱, it's possible a new set of un-scrubbed Specialised tyres might have contributed, but even so... Oh yes they also have a series of 10 mile TT throughout the summer there as well as Goodwood, let's face it and evening bike event on any race circuit isn't going to lose the circuit any money in wear and tear, and noise is definitely not going to be an issue 😂. Win win I say.

Great video, loved it and thanks!

Great effort by the way good of you to turn up and participate! You can be on our team next year!

Well Done Everyone in Terrible Weather, No Falls👍👌

Lol just seen myself saying hello as you were going for your number, god I look fat in that skin suit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video. Your so relevant Alex. You make great content.👏👏

Great content, I did the event and it was great fun, even got to say hi!

BananaWax Drag & Friction Reduction Pro Racing Chain Wax. Every Watt Counts Especially when your over 35+

So great that you can share these experiences with your dad. I love your work

Remco I suspect has a great cda, tie that in with coming back from injury where you tend to lose a bit of top end as well as miles in the legs/endurance, it is unsurprising that it is those peak efforts on tougher stages that tell vs a more steady state effort. Hopefully he will get that last 5 or so peak abilty % back before the tdf. As we saw with Pog however good you are if you have disrupted training being consistent I delivery of their peak performance efforts day after day is tough.

It was interesting to watch you vs the 4 road bikes. Glad you enjoyed it much more than your last escapade.

Mallory Park in Leicestershire has been used for bike racing for years, and since they built a village up around it (who's residents complain about the noise of the track) the track is used much less frequently for cars, and has a lot of bike slots. I think it's a great track for cycling on, could even have a gravel race with the rallycross bits.

Alex, that is a really cool jacket you have! @9:10. Do you know where I could buy one?

Sadly the sheer amount of rules in itself makes competitive cycling a farce.

Super video. Gutted for you re the performance. NEXT! 😊

@AlexDowsett What were you drinking at 12:00?

I think the P5 disc is a better bike

160 cranks are even better

Eufemiano Fuentes longevity protocol will keep you racing deep into your 40s 😅

Shame about the race but the videos were good!

I don't get it? Why get a dog?

My name is Nathan too.

Don’t be down on yourself dude, you’ve done so much on a bike! I imagine (wouldn’t know as I struggle riding up 3% climbs) it must be hard when you’re more than capable, but you’ve won stages at the Giro. You’ll win soon enough.

Alex....on one hand you just broke the MALDON 50TT course record,and fair enough you got beat on the gravel but look,family life and children take away lots of energy and you are older and your body sometimes says NO not today.Dont beat yourself up,just enjoy the ride.....You are a Grand tour stage winner! How many people can say that!

Cracking, from the heart, video! ❤ Racing Pro can never prepare you for the ups and downs of a “normal” family life and how it affects your body and mind. Next race, you will be tired and feeling awful and probably compete well 🤷‍♂️ Keep the content coming! 💪 🚲

Alex your a retired Pro don't compare yourself to the younger self. you will only get disappointed. ❤

No blaeroo suit. 😢😢😢..Soooo.2023

I can't help but think that a small saddle bag would be better than that electrical tape.
