This cycling instructional video was filmed in Girona, Catalunya, Spain; a cycling mecca that has been home to many professional cyclists including Ben O’Connor, Jack Haig, Esteban Chaves, Ryan Mullen, George Bennett, James Knox, Dorian Godon, Jay Vine, and at one point George Hincappie, Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton. Girona is used for training for races such as the Tour de France, Volta Catalunya, Vuelta Espana, Paris-Nice, Giro d’Italia and more. Teams such as Bora-Hansgrohe, INEOS-Grenadiers, Israel-Premier Tech Pro Cycling, Human Powered Health, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team, UAE Team Emirates and others use Girona for team training camps and rider testing.

Dressing in winter is for sure a balancing act, would love to hear how you go about it. Thanks for the vid as always Tristan
Or avoid filming on a downhill and break with one hand would be something you should add to the list 😉
#9, Heck yeah. Cheers
Good tips for winter riding. My biggest winter riding problem in the cold US is keeping my head warm. Even wearing a good balaclava and a helmet with few vents my bald head still gets cold. Any suggestions?
nice video, thanks Tristan
Thank you, Tristan! 👍🤩Still learning to ride 😄 awesome music ❤
Winter clothing tutorial for sure! Also, pre-ride nutrition tips would be huuuuge for a next one!
Oh yes I'd love to know your full system for dressing in the Winter!
Pure gold mate 😊
What would you say is ideal distance for drafting behind another rider? I have mental block fearing I might overlap…🙈
As a former national motocross racer always weight the outside foot peg when cornering. Also lean the bike not yourself. Keep your torso and head a little more upright / vertical.
I honestly think you are PERFECTLY equipped to make dressing video for multiple temperature ranges living in Girona, but often going to Andorra
It’s currently -5 in the mornings in Croatia and I find it hard to motivate to leave home 😅
So yeah-thumbs up for dressing video💪🏻
Thought you might be growing your hair out for Winter.. it's hot back here! 🇦🇺
That cross chain demo was enlightening. Thanks!
Dope vid! I found myself doing most of these things naturally but nice information for the newbies. Maybe a vid about layering but specifically more on the extremities ie feet and hands. Ive tried foil in the shoes and so far that’s been vastly better then just wearing overshoes.
i just recently bought an insulated vest which is good for rain and cold. i noticed you use a vest as well. how and when do you use your vest? do you use a baselayer as well?
Hi Tristan I live in Toronto Canada and it gets a pretty cold here to say the least. So what to wear winter riding would be great. Cheers
When you talk about pacing inevitably you would have to mention the use of sensors like heart rate and cadence. Without such tools it is difficult to gauge our effort.
For point 1, you should also add not to jump on the pedals too early before exiting the corner. Just ask 2022 TDF Jonas.
Yes, I'd love to know your system dressing in winter.
Agree on all points except the endurance bike. I did that 3 years ago and was very happy with comfort of the bike and missed the race feel and speed of a race bike. So went to a race bike this year and could not be happier. I haven’t looked out for other bikes in months now :))
Well done!
Definitely keen to hear your take on dressing in the colder months.
Coming from running background, I find dressing on the bike much harder to navigate.
I'm "only" having to deal with a NZ winter too
Always a tricky one to get right. I put my faith in layers for winter riding and if doing intervals (my preference to stay warm) then comfort is the key.
Very interested in your take Tristan. Thanks, as always, for the quality vids.
