    What a stand up guy! So humble for a veteran pro.

    What a nice bloke, easy to see why he has been a pro for so long. Apart from talent, teams probably love just having him around.

    What a guy! Great interview. They are Pros for a reason. 17 years at the top level of his sport and not having an ounce to brag about is something to learn from.

    - riding hard in to a climb, and then try ride as fast as possible around the corner to make the guys behind SUFFER!!!! and then...KICK!!!
    We have to love this guy, even after 17 years as a professional, he continues to smile and having fun.
    He is the best ambassador BMC can have
    Love your channel Cam.

  • @MeMurphy10Feb

    That was great - always the best content to compare the pro’s to “great normal” riders for perspective. Nice one and gee that BMC looks awesome!

  • @channul4887
    @channul4887 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I started sweating seeing your numbers off that corner yet he made it look like it's just another walk in the park. The fitness of these pro guys is "next level" x 100.

    How cool is Micky Schar! Looks like the best guy to go on a ride with and have a chat. Great he's so open and upbeat during all your vids as well. Be great to see him involved with TH-cam content when he hangs up his boots 😊

    I don't know why but I was reading the title as a "17 year old Pro Lead Out Man". I was like, damn...pros keep getting younger and younger each year and I feel old!!! Then I kept watching, lol. Love the footage of the roads. Reminds me of when I lived in Sud Tirol, Northern Italy.

    Great to see a rider of that quality is also a nice guy. I found this to be often true, especially early in my bike racing days, back in the early 1980s, when I was a newbie. Some of the best racers I happened to meet were very nice to me. I also found that some of the most arrogant guys were the ones just below that in ability, who seemed to think they were all that.

    That was a great video. Michi went into that ride with a plan and it looks like it worked pretty well. Not that I have ever heard myself being penetrated but I have been known to make similar sounds. Despite being older and significantly heavier I have maxed out my heartrate higher than yours on that ride. The last duathlon I did I think I averaged pretty much 100% max heartrate and that involved a number of spikes.

    Most people don’t get to their true max HR because of many factors, including pain.
    Go to an exercise physiology lab and do a real VO2 max test with lactate and right there you can see if you indeed reached max HR or chickened out ;)
