Strava’s #1 ranked male climber, Andrew Feather, is yet to be beaten by a GCN challenge. The Feather has taken on some monstrous climbs and even outpaced an e-bike uphill, but could a flat road finally defeat the hill climb champion? Si takes on “The Twig” in a cycling time trial!

    1. I found a World KOM Hunters list. While Andrew is not the one with the most KOMs on this planet, a man name Daniel Lloyd shows up there just on the last place with 727 KOMs!

    2. I expected the two of you doing very close. In some way weight revealed not being a problem on a flat and Si's better position did the difference.

    3. I have an idea for a challenge for all of you. Add weight to the better climbers to give everyone the same power to weight ratio, then race up the longest climb you can find. In theory, everyone should cross the finish line at the same time. It would interesting to see what actually happens.

    4. I paused this @ 6 minutes in. Dude is counting on the WORST case scenario for this beast that's kicked his arse repeatedly. With that kinda power on a flat??? I wouldn't doubt his ability.

      Edit- damn it.
