Great perspective on how difficult it is. Would be nice to know the gearing he used.
I just love the name.. Covadonga…
What bike is he using
Would be.nice to know the gear ratio he's using, bike size and weight plus his own weight!
Next time, get him up the Angliru.
Will you do this from the worldchampionshipcourse too? Höll witz 28% will be serious fun
How does he keep a low heartbeat though if he is an average man struggling up a climb? 😓 Guess I'm even below average then
He is persevering.
Well done fella!!!
I would like to climb a hill like this in foggy air, that is challenging!
Wow, i was thinking he was gonna quit again, but big up for actually getting it done, very nice 👍🏼
Well done son!
Cycling uphill is the hardest sport and nothing else comes close…end of.
What kind of magic camera are you using, seems to be hovering in front unattached to anything, cant see anything on long shots. Just can't work it out.
See the look on his face after the line, that's what it's all about. The time's irrelevant really, well done average man.
Fair play fella. Nicely done.
Fantastic job!!! Incredible!!! (Mike Scott, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
