Give me a minute to watch it all now, will ya? 😉 No favourite moment - Andrew's dance on the pedals is insanely impressive every time. No bike fit required.
Climbing is a therapy.. Any moment riding my bike is precious but those moments in the Dolomites and Alps are unforgettable - Campolongo, Falzarego, Valparola, Fedaia, Gardena, Giau, Monte Grappa, Pordoi, Sella, Telegraph, Galibier, Glandon, Croix de Fer, Chamrousse, Alpe d'Huez, the whole area around Grenoble (the balcony roads in Vercors, breathtaking; Chartrousse, fantastic.) etc.
This guy Andrew Feather is superhuman. It's incredible to watch for sure, so chapeau on the great video and stellar achievements. Edit: I guess I should watch the entire video before I comment because that Italian guy was no slouch, either.
I watch Andrew Feather, I get all enthused, hop on the bike or the trainer and melt into a puddle of inadequacy. I can hold Feather 20 minute power for about a second. Still, watching is fun too!
Very encouraging to watch Andrew riding. no meal specifics is a good point to note. i will be happy to lend him my bike if he ever come to Mauritius and ride together onto Chamarel climbs. the hilly roads across the mountains have been recently rebuilt and still new to rediscover.
I'd be really interested to know if a (track?) cyclist could beat a runner over a 100m sprint. Been looking at Usain Bolt's data. When he broke the world record his average speed, (from a "standing" start) was over 37km/hr. I wonder if a cyclist could beat him over that distance,
The absolute best track sprinter would pass Bolt at around 90m according to calculations but I’m not sure cyclist reaction time was taken into account which if added would make it pretty much a dead heat.
I hope I can have 1 of your unused smallest aero bike. I really really want one but sadly I can't afford to buy one. I currently using a $125 MTB. And it's worn out coz it's been a decade old.. I'm cycling to work 5 days a week. Hope you can see this and respond.
Will the records Andrew attempted on GCN+ be released on youtube? EDIT: It would be mega cool if GCN could host a race between top GC guys (like Jonas) and Mr Feather.
We are working on a new home for our GCN+ content, super cool that you are keen to keep watching our films, we're very proud of what we have created. As soon as we know where the new home will be the GCN community will find out 🙌
If I were a TdF general classification rider I think I might not want that kind of attention! Kudos to Sepp Kuss for taking the risk on Zwift but I don't think they're going to get too many other takers, even though it might be good for publicity in a way a conventional PR person might not see.
Wow, seems like AF’s Brompton has less than 25psi in that rear tire it almost bottomed out in a couple of frames…imagine how much faster he would have been if he had 60psi in those tires 😳
Olí looks so white and pasty against the taller, darker, beefier more handsome presenter . But then again , the other can’t rock a backward cap like Olí
*update, 2h VO2 workout done, almost gave up 10 times but thanks to the video it gave me the determination to keep going! My favorite section was the 4 GCN presenters relay vs the feather 💨💨👌✌️
I wish there was more footage of the Edelweißspitze cobble section. The whole climb is brutal, but especially that cobble section killed me when I went up there last year.
So one of the prerequisites of power testing is knowing what your sustainable max effort levels are at various time intervals. How does one go about finding that out? Is it simply trial and error? I'm a beginning cyclist and would love to have these data points as benchmarks, but it feels like I wouldn't have true numbers until a few months of training. Can I just ride to my HR or something?
What a great video!! As a heavier rider (178cm + 93kgs), I've started on the "weakness" technical descent and getting into an aero position. Flexibility in the hips is the key - if you can survive the gut strike - you'll get them on the flats and decent. 🚴
Never mind all that ,when watching a maintenance video you did you said Never put the bike in the stand by the cross bar ..But there you are all sat on the cross bars & you weigh a hell of a lot more than your bike frames ..so there .😂
What's your favourite Feather moment? 🪶
The jam sandwiches.

When he saw 45% gradient on his Wahoo 😂
the lloyd "diocanecazzofai" by far
Always a pleasure to watch Mr. Andrew Feather! 2+, or 24+ hour, we'd watch :)
👍 how many metres do you think he'd climb in 24 hours? 🤔
@@gcn
Wow that is a hard one. Ollie's biggest climb x2 :D
(Kidding :) ((Ollie you are the best))
1@@gcn
I really like how soft-spoken and unassuming Andrew sounds. Pretty humble for such a w/kg monster
Thank you Andrew feather!! What a great sport! Very entertaining.
I like Andrew’s philosophy on training, all of it outside, rain or cold. It’s more fun and enjoyable that way. The adventure is outdoors.

100% - what a great list of climbs!
Loving all these compilations, it's like Christmas all over again 🤩🤩
We'll keep them coming! Christmas all year round then 🙌
That would be fantastic, seen them before but in a compilation makes it exciting what's coming next 😍@@gcn
18:58 i love how feather is just staanding there in the background like hes in the character select screen
Get off the computer and out on your bike kid. your brain is trashed

Hahahaha we want Feather to inspire not bring people down 😢
the only thing about Feather that annoys me is that his name is FEATHER !!! - why could it not be Andrew LEADWEIGHT
*Italian Excuses* Got me cracking
Very encouraging to watch Andrew riding. no meal specifics is a good point to note. i will be happy to lend him my bike if he ever come to Mauritius and ride together onto Chamarel climbs. the hilly roads across the mountains have been recently rebuilt and still new to rediscover.
The big one seems like the best option, and the most fun to ride of course.
Very cool and fun video, thanks
Thanks Rick - which was your favourite section?
Freddy's gear choice is hilarious 😂 his rpm must have been through the roof
Positively flabbergasted.. Must get a Brompton.
Love it, great job
Legends
100% rematch!!! Please 🙏
I would definitely check the frame of that Italian...motor....
24:56 what i Just Heard 😂 diocane, cazzofai 😂😂😂 literaly It means : God dog, what fuc*k you do. Greatest joke on gcn ever
So should I cancel the Diverge and get a E bike.
Anyone have the strava link of that 2nd climb with the pinarello?
No wonder it's coming to an end
I hope one day I can climb half as good he can, lol!
brits...snow capped mountains in background ...its hot...me in az 125f fk yeah lets pedal on a fixed gear....built different over here in USA
Dude the 45% steep inclines though....damn!
You gotta send him to Mt Washington
He doesn't need the seat post, that'll save a bit.
Climbing as well as headwind tends to form your character 😂😅
Hahaha we hear you there! 😂
chamarel in Mauritius is harder
Minuto 25:00 ❤
If a paving machine can make that gradient than so can you
well said!
Andrew’s a chrome dome
👏👏👍👍

Feathers rear tyre looks soft...
We need more Freddy
@gcnitalia avete notato il fantastico commento al minuto 24:57 del video?? 😀😀
My bad I fell asleep
I hope I can have 1 of your unused smallest aero bike.

just so you know, at 24:57 you are uttering blasphemy
@gcn well Feather 🪶 isn't a aero rider. He stands the whole time.
Remtch
Let’s paddle in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 💺🚴🚵🏿♂️🏝⛺️🏔🏞

Great video to watch on a cold , snowy winter day. Than you GCN. And yes, I'd love to see Feather vs.Gaimon
Oooof we're keen! As long as Gaimon brings cookies 🍪
@@gcn Oh , I'm sure he would love to bring cookies. KB
93BPM at the top of Alpe d'Huez is otherworldly. Andrew Feather is the epitome of elite athlete, no other way to say it.
He's a machine! 👌
Wow, seems like AF’s Brompton has less than 25psi in that rear tire it almost bottomed out in a couple of frames…imagine how much faster he would have been if he had 60psi in those tires 😳
bromptom ad lol
That was fun . Love the channel
Great compilation to watch whilst doing Alpe Du Zwift (which I did today) 😊
Interesting how Feather grows taller video after video
Fck. Superman exists!!! And he's called Andrew Feather
Freddie looks better than you. Is he power lifter?
isnt brompton inherently a lighter bike than most road bikes? so why give it to the "Fastest climber"?? where the hell is the logic in there..
Weight vs cost. Marketing but climbing makes difference
But lose weight and get fit
Cheaper
Mulitgran rice cakes for a month
Olí looks so white and pasty against the taller, darker, beefier more handsome presenter . But then again , the other can’t rock a backward cap like Olí
Рщц many gears does Bromton have?
In the last segment for the Alpe, please tell me his heart rate was not *actually* just 93bpm when averaging 390watts for 35minutes 😝
We can't tell you that we're afraid 👀
It's like riding in the Worlds steepest and biggest ski hill jump or ski flying hill
This could not come at a better time as i have a 2h workout on the trainer tonight and i was wondering how i was going to entertain myself 😅🎉👌
*update, 2h VO2 workout done, almost gave up 10 times but thanks to the video it gave me the determination to keep going! My favorite section was the 4 GCN presenters relay vs the feather 💨💨👌✌️
This guy changed height more then weight😂… How tall is he now?
You guys should do a video with feather and Gaimon going head to head
Now that would be a battle 👀
il bandito...bwah!-ha! ha!
Why didn't feather go pro
That Brompton video is part of why I got one 😅
How are you getting on with your Brompton now? 👀
@si... its a jam BUTTIE! :-D
I wish there was more footage of the Edelweißspitze cobble section. The whole climb is brutal, but especially that cobble section killed me when I went up there last year.
He is superman...!!!!!!
Feather is amazing!

It proved again, engine is more important than the equipment!! ❤
Seems like you could swap the terrible suspension fork for a $180 RockShox silver fork and you would have a decent cheap ebike.
What a great video!!

Feather is AWESOME🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🪽 Qualification: he’s the GOAT…and a goat. WOW!! 🐐
Another rematch please 😁. Love this stuff. How about getting in Dan Evans and Ed Laverak? That would be truly a contest of hill climb mutants.
And this guy is a BEAST! Kudos!! ❤️🙌🏾✌🏾
Once again science proves the smaller wheel size is the faster rolling not 29ers! I Stick to my 27.5s for the road
Never mind all that ,when watching a maintenance video you did you said Never put the bike in the stand by the cross bar ..But there you are all sat on the cross bars & you weigh a hell of a lot more than your bike frames ..so there .😂
insanity!
Day 2! Keeping myself excited and wanting to be strong both mentally and physically!!!
Minuto 24:57 secondi... 😂😂😂
Try Holy Cross, Polomolok, Mindanao, Philippines. Let’s see how you’ll like it 😏
The hardest i have tried is the "Punta Veleno", from Porto/Castello, next to Lake Garda.
Oh Ollie, getting dropped again! Just like yesterday! But different….
Thanks Dr O , Mr Feather , and crew..I see you've found where they cage the wild rocks .
You just made me almost want to buy an E-bike . lucky for myself Ive got no room to keep one.
John Woodburn used to win open time trials on a Moulton Bicycle the same but no hinge.
Would it be possible to ride up Half Dome in Yosemite???? @gcn
No rim tape needed….saves weight!!! You have got to do kidding🤣😍😍
Be great to ride with feather but il face reality probably meet him In court much easier 😂
Please modify a Brompton and call it COMPton !
He is as strong as an ox , unbelievable 👍👍👍👍
Great job!! Try another climb in eritrea from massawa to Asmara
swearing in Italian was not up to the standards of GCN
omg that 45% climb 😱 well done..Nice pinerello too
The Andrew “The Twig” Feather marathon, yes!
Feather is a fucking legend # fire Alex he sucks
