    I think we need to acknowledge Mitch is out here making some of the best cycling content around right now.
  • @martinwood5544
    Tadej dropping his shoulder @11:07 just to bump that guy and tell him off is perfect 😂
  • @daveygee434
    I was at the finish line of Stage 5. Got to see Cav break the record. Best day ever ❤️👍
  • @we1rd92
    I bet the mattresses are clutch af. Sleeping in a new, often shitty hotel bed every day would kill recovery for me.
  • @Bluecat564
    I'd say you held the wheel pretty damn well for going 30mph uphill! That was really cool, definitely gives a better sense of the speed that these guys can go when he's just blowing past some regular joes vs racing their peers. Very entertaining video, I thought it was... Nice.

    That bottle handoff was smooth, it's harder than it looks!
  • @suew2144
    Thanx for this! Great to see Nathan is still part of the VLAB team, as the guys really like him and his wisdom. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

    Hope it never change, it’s the only sport where athletes are so accessible.

    Nathan van Hooydonck is freaking awesome. I loved watching him do his thing in the peloton and was sad when he had to medically retire last year. I knew he was still working with Visma and I'm so glad he can be such an asset for the team. I know he misses racing but still working with his teammates has to be really cool.

    French here. I ve seen 35 tour de france on tv at least, ( since i was 5) and around 10 times in real life ( Tour de France is always in the corner you know, specialy when you live in Auvergne Rhone Alpes ). And your vlog is so accurate 😮❤. When the Tour come in your town, YOU KNOW IT 😂. The city puts some deco like flags or false bigs. Some streets are closed from 10 am to 18 pm but even if the Tour just pass it s always a great day, specialy for kids. Some cities organise little animations, then come the Caravane (best moment ever 😅) and after 2 hours and many many véhicules you barely see the riders. So That's was great to give us access on the inside . Thanks 🎉

    The attention to details is highly underrated and is vital to the success of the team.
