Today’s film showcases the final stage of the Haute Route, Dolomites2023. I thought that the Stage 1 race from Bormeo to the top of the Umbrail Pass in the Stelvio National Park could not be surpassed for spectacular beauty, sensational hairpins and vistas plus intrigue. However as we commenced the ascent of Passo Giau, it became clear this was going to be a sublime day and a jaw dropping race. Truly cycling heaven !! I very much hope you enjoy the story of the race and the beautiful film, including an action packed summit finish on the exquisite Passo Valparola !

Aaaaahhhh Paul the rabbit, 😂😂😂 nothing against you mate but nothing like chasing a good rabbit🤙
better than benidorm, wot?
Excellent, excellent, excellent work Phil 🙏🏾👌🏾✊🏾💪🏾👍🏾👊🏾 Well done and great riding.
So nice to see you back to your best Philip. This video has made my week! Here’s to a great 2024 for you on the bike 👍🏻👊👊👊
Passo GIau ist great, You have to return to ride it from the other, much harder side tho. Absolutly beautiful and around 8% without any dropping of the percentage.
Another brilliant video Phil well road very impressed can't wait for the next one
Incredible ! 😅 brilliant video as always Phill!
Great Video, I had a very similar crash, blood on the brain, left the mountain at 40mph, three summersaults down the mountain…had to learn to walk last june and am now back at it. I'm interested to hear your wife's perspective…..does she still support the riding? My wife is on the fence…..cheers to you Phi!!
Great video Phill and some amazing videography and bike racing pushing it to the max at the end there. Fantastic to see you back to full fitness after the events of 2022. Here’s to 2024 and more great bike riding. Hope you and Jayne have a very Merry Christmas 🎄
Enjoyed these videos Phill. Its inspirational the dedication you show to not just train but better yourself especially after coming back to health after that crash. Most people would've hung their helmets up but then again, cycling clearly means a lot to you. 👍
Breathtaking ! The Giau from Cortina has to be the most visually stunning ride I’ve ever done – it’s a cauldron of majesty that has no equal – tough in parts , but nothing like the south side – that’s just wrong on so many levels 😱
Well done Phil!!!!
Well done Phil! 🎉 Amazing video.. so Nice scenery! 😍
Cycling in such a beautiful place, fantastic well done.
So much Tony Martin face!
It was a pleasure to watch that video, both the riding and the scenery. Paul is riding a rim brake bike I see, I generally still fancy rim brake bikes, but also have a place for disc brakes in the stable. Thanks!
Great series and great to see you going well.
Absolutely brilliant, you are an inspiration !
Outstanding video
One of the best yt cycling vids I have ever watched.
Loved the running commentary over gc places.
Great video. Loved the commentary.
I wish there were events like this where I live… Looks awesome!
Beautiful ride and some great views, good reason to ride a bike 😉
Awesome as usual, thanks for sharing!
Cracking video that Phill, congratulations on the great position and personal battles.
I too have been a victim of the way Piglet gains speed like no one's business on a false flat. Mortals see it as an opportunity for rest, Paul sees it as an opportunity to go even faster…
Epic achievement Phil – such tenacity and dedication. Superbly well done 👏
Well done Phil – what a day you picked up for riding the Passo Giau ☀️ the video is amazing
Simply brilliant! Well done mate👍🏾
Superb
Wow, that video was absolutely breathtaking! 🚴♂😀👋The Dolomites are truly stunning.🤩 How do you manage nutrition and hydration during a race of this magnitude? 🍎Any favorite snacks or rituals? How did you handle the moments of physical exhaustion during the race, especially on those steep climbs? 😓What are your post-race recovery strategies to ensure you're ready for the next day's competition?💪
Great effort on the last two climbs. Very impressive cadence throughout – no grinding up. Well done
Nothing short of inspirational.. from accident to Haute Route amazing.. loved the video series 👏
Omg!!! That’s meeee 😍 thank you so much for all these footages! Those days were so special to me, as I am sure it was for everybody who had the opportunity to ride in the DOLOMITES!!! Thank you so much Phill!!!!! Hope to see you next year!!!!
Well done Phil, or may I call you the ‘come back kid.’ Chapeau is truly an understatement 👏👏👏
Damn that place is amazing. Maybe I should try to spend a summer there
Another great video! Cant wait for the 3Valli upload, i have been there too and it was a great race
How did Paul get the nickname Piglet? It’s so cool you have him on these trips as a partner, rouler, and motivator on these trips
Dear Phillip, I want to write a lot, my friend. The video was great from start to finish, thank you very much. The roads were very nice and hot asphalt. The view was again perfect. By the way, dear Paul, thank you very much. You were a great help to Phillip. Congratulations to you too, my friend. We watched some great footage from your and Phillip's cameras. But I am very sorry that the roads were not closed to vehicle traffic, my friend. I would like to make a request to YOUR DEAR MAJESTY: DEAR MAJESTY, could you please close the bicycle racing track to vehicle traffic for Phillip? Because I don't want Phillip to have a bike accident again. We love it very much. Dear Phillip, by the way, greetings again to my dear sister Jane. I'm looking forward to new videos. enjoy. safe driving. Greetings from Türkiye. #bikeracingwithoutmercy
Uncle Phill, can you make my Make a Wish come true and bring me out so we can Ride and Race together IRL!? I promise to shout the DGDC rules at the top of my lungs on top of every climb! Hope you and your family are doing well and hopefully we can line it up on Zwift this winter.
