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!

What challenge would you like to see Andrew Feather attempt next? 🪶
400w for 60min?! My lactate threshold test is 400w for 5min…i’ll buy an ebike…
Low blow to us Frenchmen GCN … Right where it hurts !
Andrew Feather on Zwift to see how his outdoor climbing skills compares to raw w/kg on Zwift
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!
Huge thumbs up for Andrew! Thank you for a great video!
World's best climber. LOL
Get AF to do a weekend bike packing ride 👍
Great message from Si in the e d.
Get them mountain biking downhill❤
would watch any video with Andrew in it.
Nice case of good sportsmanship to notice Andrew's lack of aerodynamic and put a massive wind-catching glass stuff on Si's face to level the field.
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.
Great video and concept!
Did they forget to tell him about the drops on his bike ?
But did Andrew get the KOM on the drag?
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.
Knitting. Absolutely: knitting. I bet if you gave him a month of practice, he’d be the best knitter on earth 🧶
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.
Could've swapped bikes?
Andrew is such a Nice guy but hands down for Si!
Getting power out on the flat is really hard when you're used to riding in the hills.
More Andrew on the channel, please. He's such a good cyclist and presenter.
do that again, with aero tri bars for each of you
