If it's not very sensitive information, maybe a sync'd Garmin on-screen data that includes HR, speed and elevation would be very good additions on this video. Cheers, GCN guys!
How is it possible yo give this video a thumbs down ?? All I can think is that so dazed by the effort the Thumbs downers pressed the wrong button by mistake.. This has become one of my favourite GCN videos. I just love watching Lasty suffer. He so perfectly demonstrates how I often feel.
awesome vid! Kept thinking he was at the top and in the next shot he'd being suffering a little bit more. Gotta love the basque country...stone lifting and cycling. And people who are just hanging out will give a cheer to some dude suffering on a climb. Very cool.
That looks like a brutal climb. My daughter (3) is watching as well and just asked if she can watch the vomit part - when Tom looks like he is going to spew - great work
This is by far the funniest video ever and I can relate so much. My face must look like that. What a great video!!!! I was hysterical laughing at his faces!!!! This video will give me inspiration!!! Thank you GCN from NJ!
Of all the suffering I have seen in the world of cycling that just about takes the cake. I felt ill just watching it. Can't wait for the next one! Way to go Lasty.
This is kinda late, but I would've given Lasty a ceremonial makila once he got to the top of the Muro de Aia. Nothing more fitting to reward this show of pain, suffering and strength, than a good Basque makila.
is it bad to admit at times I was laugh out loud at the faces lasty was pulling, bloody hell that was some incredible gurning! I would not have been able to ride up there in 36×25 good on him!
OMG Lasty's gurning is EPIC! I wasn't sure if he was going to pop an artery or start crying! The brick's face was like watching a drama unfold! Voeckler has nothing on the brick!! #gurningbazooka
Chapeau for doing this! This is hilarious. But there is no way I would get to the top of that monster. By the way the part with Matt calmly drinking coffee down in the corner was comic genius.
That is one steep climb! I bet pre ride conversation between presenters was something like: "Lasty might die for our amusement, but that is sacrifice we are willing to make!"
I'm going to start commuting to work on my road bike. There is one stretch with a rather steep incline, but after that it's all down hill. This gave me a little bit of inspiration to tackle that climb! I may not be able to complete the whole thing the first time, but eventually I will overcome it. That feeling of achievement after a climb is what we chase!
After this and his showing on the Koppenburg, Lasty needs to look at the set-up on his bike! 36-25 leaves little in reserve. But well done mate for showing us how to suffer like an Amateur!
My favourite part is 3:29, when Lasty is saying he can't talk because he's so tired, meanwhile a bloke cycles off in the other direction, probably just took the KOM rushing home for dinner.
Just rewatched this for old times sake after watching the 500th GCN show. "Oh f*ck, there's another bit" perfectly sums up my relationship with cycling, get that printed on some GCN t-shirts.
i though his knees were going to pop! well done but next time get a 34 X 32 with a motor...GCN - more of these suffer videos..best episode for a long time, thoroughly enjoyable...
You would have been far faster with a trademark Stevens lead-out train, but still chapeau for your awesome effort! Also, loving the new format of the Epic Climbs series, good work gang.
This climb is hard, but in switzerland we have a climb called "balmberg". Its about 2.8km long and has a medium gradient of 15% and theres a part Of over 1 km with parts of over 25% steepnes. I would love to see gcn do the balmberg...
If it's not very sensitive information, maybe a sync'd Garmin on-screen data that includes HR, speed and elevation would be very good additions on this video. Cheers, GCN guys!
I thought videos of torture were banned on youtube.
If GCN would come out with a t-shirt of all of Lasty's facial expressions on the back of it, it would be a best seller.
+MatadorCE please @GCN make this happen!!
I would totally buy!
you guys should make a weekly video of Tom suffering an intense climb or turbo session. #RIPTomLast
+SeriousJansen YES!
Sounds good.
One of my fav GCN videos in awhile, awesome job
+EdgeOfSanity fucking malmsteen
+YngwieReid Agreed! Even I'm wincing just by watching!
My teeth are aching just watching this! 🤮
Favorite part: "ah f#@k there's another bit#
This is brutal even to watch!
Weave paper boy! Weave!! One of my favourite GCN clips. The expressions are priceless and all amateur cyclists can relate. Thanks!!

No... his legs disliked it.
awesome vid! Kept thinking he was at the top and in the next shot he'd being suffering a little bit more. Gotta love the basque country...stone lifting and cycling. And people who are just hanging out will give a cheer to some dude suffering on a climb. Very cool.
"Oh fuck, there's another bit!" That tells me all I need to know
You definitely deserve a wattage bazooka for that, Toms impression of Thomas Voeckler. Chapeau Tom, Chapeau!
Lasty's got the best pain face ever. Cant we turn this into a series. Lasty does massive grades and then does the end credits whilst in the pain cave?
Back after 7 years just to appreciate the best pain face ever featured on GCN.
Best Epic Climb ever!
Agreed
I've only just got round to watching this. Epic! Well done, Lasty - that looked tough with knobs on! Chapeau!
Fair play that looks savage!! Big kudos to Lasty for this one, shows his dedication and commitment to the channel!!
God almighty, Lasty. Were you nearly crying at the end?
+KenFingerlove yes
Wattagebazooka? Crazy power by Lasty!
Birck, man you had me suffering. That was a fantastic ride. I know you were glad when it was over.
RIP Tom Last. I didn't think he could look any more tired than in the 20 minute turbo session but somehow he managed to do it
+John O'Brien Comment of the week :-D.
+Martin Bartoň - Agreed.
I had no idea bricks had so many facial expressions!
Robby Kim brilliant 😂😂😂
That looks like a brutal climb. My daughter (3) is watching as well and just asked if she can watch the vomit part - when Tom looks like he is going to spew - great work
wow tom you're the man, biting through the pain in a heroic fashion
"oh f*ck, there's another bit"
classic :D
This is by far the funniest video ever and I can relate so much. My face must look like that. What a great video!!!! I was hysterical laughing at his faces!!!! This video will give me inspiration!!! Thank you GCN from NJ!
Of all the suffering I have seen in the world of cycling that just about takes the cake. I felt ill just watching it. Can't wait for the next one! Way to go Lasty.
There's something very satisfying about seeing people suffer that much!
Just another Brick up the wall...
Good work Tom. Taking one for us all.
Seriously, "Lasty Suffer Climbs" needs to be a thing. Love it! What a pro.
The look on Tom's face: priceless. My knees started aching just watching those expressions. That is a tough climb even with 30 or 32t.
Awesom Lasty! No soundtrack needed just your suffering, so reassuring to see even good riders swear at climbs for hiding I final ramp or two!
This is kinda late, but I would've given Lasty a ceremonial makila once he got to the top of the Muro de Aia.
Nothing more fitting to reward this show of pain, suffering and strength, than a good Basque makila.
Oooooooohhhh my gosh that hurt to watch. Mad, mad, skillz. Major kudos.
wow! just wow!
I hope the GCN team will show gratitude to you after that! Seriously good clip, here! Congrats for the effort, this thing is a killer.
The Epic faces, well done and the suffer meter is awsome.
I've watched this thing like eight or ten times already. Fantastic. More like this please.
Full props to anybody willing to suffer like that with a camera in his face. Chapeau!
Thank you Lasty! Sy and Dan make everything look so easy, but you have shown us what us average joes look like climbing.
is it bad to admit at times I was laugh out loud at the faces lasty was pulling, bloody hell that was some incredible gurning!
I would not have been able to ride up there in 36×25 good on him!
Éste es el mejor video que les he visto. Excelente, felicitaciones; ese caballero es un verdadero escalador.
Kudos sir, that looks absolutely brutal! Well done for staying upright on the steep bit.
Tom I find your faces that you were pulling were absolutely side splitting funny. Thanks for the laughs.And excellent job going up the climb.
This is hilarious. Well done Lasty!
Love Tom very genuine I bet he could never tell a lie
Lasty, you absolute maniac! Chapeau!
I don't like many youtube videos but this one deserves every single one. Chapeau Tom
love to see a series taking on toughest climbs in the uk
OMG Lasty's gurning is EPIC! I wasn't sure if he was going to pop an artery or start crying! The brick's face was like watching a drama unfold! Voeckler has nothing on the brick!! #gurningbazooka
Chapeau for doing this! This is hilarious. But there is no way I would get to the top of that monster.
By the way the part with Matt calmly drinking coffee down in the corner was comic genius.
Nice to see Lasty suffering up a climb like the rest of us.
This is fantastic. Tom is absolutely bricking himself.
Pulling a Rocky face like, I was expecting him to call for Adrian as well!
That is one steep climb! I bet pre ride conversation between presenters was something like:
"Lasty might die for our amusement, but that is sacrifice we are willing to make!"

Needed a Matt Stephens lead out then you would have KOMd it.
Tom last: winner of the 2016 GCN award for best/most facial expressions on a single ride
After this and his showing on the Koppenburg, Lasty needs to look at the set-up on his bike! 36-25 leaves little in reserve. But well done mate for showing us how to suffer like an Amateur!
This video could be an advertisement for compact cranks.
+ThatsSoNathan when is your next video?
ZaoGaming Not making youtube videos anymore mate!
why not? your cycling ones were great
ZaoGaming Just stopped enjoying it mate. I had a crack at it, just not interested any more :)
The Brick vs The Wall! Epic.
Wattage bazooka from Lasty))))
Great video! Good job, Tom! Suffer meter a great touch!
What an absolutely glorious piece of footage depicting a rather animated sufferfest.
I totally thought Lasty was going to vomit just before that last bit.
and to think Lasty's gf never thought he would show those faces outside of the bedroom!!
Probably the best video GCN have ever done
When the brick hit the wall some faces were pulled.. Cracking video.
Lastys most brutal video! Never seen that brutal suffering in my life!
Lasty, you didn't toss your cookies and you made it to the top. I never would have. Bravo!
Speechless. Now, I am exhausted.
Haven't seen Tom suffer this much since that indoor spin session.
That's insanely steep! Well done Lasty!
My favourite part is 3:29, when Lasty is saying he can't talk because he's so tired, meanwhile a bloke cycles off in the other direction, probably just took the KOM rushing home for dinner.
Good effort that man! Well done! I could almost feel the pain in my legs as I watched this video!
Well done for that one. what a fantastic vid.This really shows what cycling is all about. Determination, stamina and skill it was also very funny.
That was gnarly grind. Could tell by Lasty's face, just pure disgust and displeasure with the severity of gradient
He is so good at presenting the pain
#1 on GCNs list of unintentionally funny videos
GG Lasty
When your legs are whiter than your shoes you know its been a bad winter
Wow, Tom caught a mean case of Fabio Aru face there
That is by far the best video ever!
This is the best thing I have ever seen.
Cracking effort Lasty #BigThumbsUp
Just rewatched this for old times sake after watching the 500th GCN show. "Oh f*ck, there's another bit" perfectly sums up my relationship with cycling, get that printed on some GCN t-shirts.

1:53 - 2:24 that was insanely brutal… that point of view makes me dizzy that must be a hell of a climb
He looked like he really was maxed out. His genuine suffering made me smile in sympathy. Thank you.
PMSL I've watched every single video since you started the channel .. And that was the best laugh of all of them, Tom those faces!!
This is amazing. Makes me feel better about the faces I no doubt make riding some of the grades here in San Francisco.
That time someone put Ghost Chilli sauce in your chamois cream jar.
Big Kudos for you Tom! Great Video :D
thats the face of a man trying not to blow chunks, bless Lasty muy valiente
Don't fancy being the newspaper delivery boy in that town! Well done Tom.
Love the hilarious Suffer Meter. Genius graphic design!
I can't stop watching this! So funny. Really sounded like Lasty was going to throw up a couple of times.
This climb is hard, but in switzerland we have a climb called "balmberg". Its about 2.8km long and has a medium gradient of 15% and theres a part
Of over 1 km with parts of over 25% steepnes. I would love to see gcn do the balmberg...
One of my top GCN vids! Epic!
by far my favourite epic ride keep it up gcn !!!
