Used more than any other ascent in the history of Italy's biggest stage race, the Giro d'Italia, the Passo Pordoi is certainly a contender for the GCN Epic Climbs. Dan and Matt tackle the pass with no less than 33 hairpin bends, reaching the top just in time...

"Precumon and thats where things start getting exciting" thought this was a family orientated channel!

@goldfever4570 7 лет назад

I think young Matthew knew exactly what he was doing there!

I live near passo Pordoi and the pronunciation is different from how he said

@rodgu2153 7 лет назад

epic climbs series back oh yesssssss!

@fastk9dad 7 лет назад

Really enjoy Matt & Dan ride videos! Good chemistry between the two.

@niallmclaughlin3339 7 лет назад

I was discussing a cycling holiday with my wife and when I told her about this video I don't think she believed me about the names of some of the towns. "Precumon, my arse!" were her exact words. Anyway, it turns out the bloke next door must be a cycling fan, because I heard her saying something similar to him later...

@lieblingsleguan1591 7 лет назад

Loving the fact that the video just shows what the high mountains have in store in terms of fast changing weather conditions. :-)

@briangrissom9115 7 лет назад

Love the climb/history combo! Keep these coming!

@chrisb_rc 7 лет назад

Looked pretty hard in Precumon

@CJC94 7 лет назад

Matt, don't you remember what Vincenzo told you? No milk in coffee unless it's the morning.

@matteogozziggperme 7 лет назад

Have you ever considered to tackle the ascent to the "cippo"? It is a route that goes up to the Carpegna Mountain in in Italy, in the province of Pesaro-Urbino. It was the favorite training climb of Marco Pantani, it's a brutal climb. I would love to see it in one of your videos

@kamucho 4 года назад

I got the Epic Climb shirt of this climb from the GCN shop! Really happy with it even if it does have Precumon

@robbchastain3036 7 лет назад

On to every climb a little rain should fall, just to make sure it is epic, and I liked your selfie at the end, nice pic. And maybe your crafty excuse for a craft beer.

@znalniaskas 7 лет назад

As someone who lives in the Dolomites the altitude has never been a factor for me on these kind of climbs. Pordoi is such an awesome climb, one of the best ones in the Dolomites, but many of them are stunning, Valparola (no too hard bust just stunning), Fedaia and Tre Cime jus to mention a few of my favourite ones are all awesome.

@nik1k21 7 лет назад

znalniaskas in realtà la differenza si sente, io vivo in val di cembra (vicino alla val di fiemme) e venerdì sono andato in cima al Pordoi (al rifugio a 3150m) e li anche io che sono abituato ad andare in montagna la senti la differenza nel fiato. In bici si sente meno ma comunque credo che tutti risentano almeno un po' della differenza di altitudine

@kathr2773 7 лет назад

Dan's timing and delivery at Coppi's memorial is perfect. That's why he is the Boss!

@jacopodauria8143 7 лет назад

Hi, I did Passo Pordoi this summer but I started from Moena to Canazei and after climbed to Pordoi. I did also Passo Sella, starting from Moena through Canazei. The two climbs are very nice. On Wednesday the street is close for the cars and there are a lot of cyclists Ciao!!

@johnnydoe66 7 лет назад

Anyone notice at 2:34, that Matt and Dan are on different bikes? Who's doing the editing, using clips from other rides? I know they were using clips from the Maratona, but for today's video....

@callumbarnes7688 7 лет назад

@globalcyclingnetwork - Is it me being stupid, or is Matt riding a bike with Hydro Disk Di2 at 2:34?

@Gkuljian 7 лет назад

I'm so lucky. I once lived in a place where I had a ride very much like this one. And in the 2 years I rode it every day, I only saw a dozen cars at the most. Sometimes life deals good cards.

@mrtnsnp 7 лет назад

"Afternoon Cappuccino", I'll have to remember that, although it probably works better with Guinness.

@AlanPB1968 7 лет назад

Strictly no cappuccino after 11:00. Looks like a beer was deserved anyway!

@jindrichnovotny9266 7 лет назад

2:33 you guys even had time to change bikes?

@KurtisPape 7 лет назад

Wow, there is a place called PreCumOn. classic

@NielsHeldens 7 лет назад

2:28 The story behind that rock is quite an interesting one. Apparently God and a young Matthew Stephens were playing 'rock-paper-scissors'. The results are still unknown. But all we know is that the rock is still there and people are still looking for God.

@LegSpinna 7 лет назад

Got a bit messy shortly after Precumon. As it often does.

@DrunkenRunt 7 лет назад

those socks are obscenely short, did blythe not teach you anything?

@leonardocabrera9915 7 лет назад

DrunkenRunt I wear no show socks ;)

@LaughingSaint66 7 лет назад

DrunkenRunt try cycling in Hawaii with long socks u muppet see how that feels 🙄🙄😏

@steviegriffin3513 7 лет назад

Agreed. Hope the club socks will be longer.

@Phaidrus 7 лет назад

I ride in 40C with long (i.e. contemporary length) socks. No problem at all, in fact they keep UV radiation away from a greater part of your legs.

@afewspokesloose2699 7 лет назад

Oh my, when did you guys film this? I was climbing in the Dolomites all of last week and did the Pordoi from the other side, reaching the top at about 11am on the 14th. I'll kick myself if I've missed an opportunity to fanboy!

@MataGyula 7 лет назад

Videos like these make me wish you guys upped your camera gear to 4K! :P Good stuff!

@monkeyshark100 7 лет назад

No *milk* after 11? Aye right. You lads need a couple of beers and then cycle back down. 😂😂

@jankusar5053 7 лет назад

Actually nibali set that time on a training camp, on stage 14 of the 2016 giro he was part of the peloton that rode the climb in a well over half an hour

@norevlimitr1602 7 лет назад

I love the slow motion shots................... Oh wait, they weren't slow motion...???...

@gabriel.trainer 7 лет назад

2:32 Did you lads just switched bikes?

@user-yn5sk5ru5g 7 лет назад

please do Pico Veleta (sierra nevada). it's Vuelta time now, the Giro is old news ;-)

@Stekman101 7 лет назад

That would be a nice hike with my bike for me!

@jimtod834 7 лет назад

Well done lads, you made that look hard

@DrSpeedNL 7 лет назад

@richardc2488 7 лет назад

Looks like Thor wasn't too pleased about you ordering capachinos at 4pm.

@Va4esS 7 лет назад

That Precumon Joke though :)

@whyFINAL 7 лет назад

Is it 28c or 25c on the blue canyon? Great vid btw

@strokenumber3 7 лет назад

4:19 Being juiced up was probably the key difference. And don't say the pros don't dope, Sanchez got busted only a couple days ago.

@brunospasta 7 лет назад

The pros don't dope

@jsem94 7 лет назад

FUCKING LOVE THIS CLIMB. Could you please to Passo Fedaia too in the near future?

@phillentz6742 7 лет назад

I really like these ride vids but don't understand why they don't put the specs on the screen while riding??? Speeds/grade ect. that would be awesome

@radiostation6366 7 лет назад

1:17 "I'm already breathing pretty hard.... already."

@benscrumhalf 7 лет назад

Like that Precumon joke you did there..

@nickw6175 7 лет назад

I am really lucky enough to have ridden it but unfortunately not until my late 50s which means I just did it to enjoy rather than as an effort my only comment would be please enjoy the view saw a few just looking down at the tarmac !

@tudajfor 7 лет назад

PreCUM ON 1:50

@ianusna91 7 лет назад

So how about an indoor trainer workout using the climb?

@SaqerAlKhalifa 7 лет назад

I was riding there at that same day and I had around 10 layers on! Must be a British thing. #nofeelings #Bahrain

@duncanmills3047 7 лет назад

When is lasty going to the pozza San glisente?

@adamsyahir1160 7 лет назад

beer and Dan still a better love story than twillight

@datorfilm 7 лет назад

When going in for a coffee, or to eat something, on places like this - can you (do you dare too) leave the bike outside unlocked? Thats always the problem with going into shops/cafés and so on when out on a bikeride...one doesn´t want to have a big & heavy lock on the bike..

@LuisCastro-jk4mh 7 лет назад

Was it just me but I saw Matt at the begging of the video in one scene ridding his canyon with discs????

@Thomaskylee 7 лет назад

Is Dan ridding Vision Meteon 40s or 55s? I'm deciding between the two wheel sets.

@simonknowles4267 7 лет назад

Hi GCN what gears did you guys ride? Cheers

@NielsHeldens 7 лет назад

Simon Knowles 58x11 all the way, mate.

@darrengreen7906 7 лет назад

They wish! xD

@JMise 7 лет назад

At the mentioned 12 kph it would be 34 on the front and 25-32 on the back depending on the cadence.

@woozertoo 7 лет назад

Ha! As if you guys hadn't known there's no such thing as 'afternoon cappuccino' in Italy--and that you'd have to settle for a beer.

@isaachinchliffe723 7 лет назад

Lol did this two weeks ago on mountain bike two sizes too small and a bloody rucksack, gnarly fucking climb.

@SwedishHouseFifa 7 лет назад

Yes more epic climbs :D

@abedfo88 7 лет назад

The music is so on point at 4:40 love it, anyone know who it is ?

@maxmilham1143 7 лет назад

At 2:33 why does matt look as if he has changed onto his canyon aeroad? Just a different b-roll?

@pinofredd 7 лет назад

Guys, please, stop drink cappuccino each time after breakfast. For that kind of after breakfast drink go for a caffè macchiato or a caffè ristretto...

@erikbarone8184 7 лет назад

No Milk after 11am🤔....I like that rule🍻🍺

@seanbailey317 7 лет назад

Reckon that Precumon sign gets stolen a lot.

No Lasty no Epic Climbs!!!

@101dogdays 7 лет назад

@dalecooper5882 7 лет назад

Fools! Surely you want a nice refreshing mineral water after a climb like that.

@cheesesandwich1236 7 лет назад

As much as I like cycling I like skiing much more. That landscape is twice as beautiful covered with a heavy layer of snow. Doesn't happen as much as it used to, shame.

@Furyjoell 7 лет назад

1:43 The little commune of what now?

@matttt247 7 лет назад

Hi, I would like to learn the cycling sport, and I'm watching so many of your videos to know new skills and advice. I wanted to ask you when I run a sprint I need to increase gears or lower them to get more speed in the pedals.

@artusjaladeau3366 7 лет назад

Mattiaxspia it dépends of velocity ! U need first to train on riding a lot of km and after you can begin to work on specific things. but when sprinting, if you are not powerful you should decrease. You can feel when you sprint if you can push more on pedals

@matttt247 7 лет назад

Thanks for the fast answer! I already do a lot of km and i want to work on specific things like the sprint runs. When i was training i try to use 4° Gear and when the speed of that gear was max, i change it to 5, to increase the power/speed ( and then 6,7,8..) , but i see in those videos that the sprints are only in 1 gear. You can explain this ?

@artusjaladeau3366 7 лет назад

Mattiaxspia i cant sorry ^^. To work on specific, it's good if you have a home trainer and cadence meter and heart pulse. You can find on internet a lot exercice to work on what you want.

@samroubaix_1756 7 лет назад

All the GCN videos are great and informative, just remember the secret: ride more, have fun and you will find out a lot along the way 😉

@matttt247 7 лет назад

@Csapi007 7 лет назад

Just been there, climbed it from both sides, I have to say, it's nothing special. Just around the corner there's the Passo Sella for example, that's way more interesting than the Pordoi.

@artusjaladeau3366 7 лет назад

Not an epic climb :(
