A new detail on my bike pre race meal the best shoe in the World what a beautiful guide we are in France for my last weekend of racing for this year it’s uh that’s why I’m wearing my rainbow jersey again because it’s a time tral so I’m going to take you guys with me during the next two days today I’m going

To take you on my Recon ride tomorrow of course is race day so uh then I will not be talking too much because I will be in the focus and in the zone uh we also have some presents for the staff and for my teammate Remy that is here and then

Uh of course we will show you the bike I will be racing there is some new detailss on the bike so I think it’s nice to show that to you guys and then of course tomorrow we will take you through the race show some images of the

Race and then we hope you guys will enjoy this weekend of time tring with Me David will take my back for the first time in his life as it’s his first time we just want to try it we’ll see if he does it well I am ready in the P it yeah you will so the reason why I tape uh for a time trial is because the

Tape helps me to stay in the position the ey position for a longer time uh Because by the end of the time tral the muscles are getting a bit fatigued so the tape helps to stay in the position to kind of remind the muscles that they

Have to stay in the position that they are supposed to be these tapes will help me to stay like this because when I come up I will feel the tension which is not so nice and then I go back down to have the Comfort back so that’s why the tape is very help

So it will be a pretty early day tomorrow uh probably waking up at 8:00 having breakfast straight after that and then uh training coming back having shower pre-ra meal going to the bus so the they will pass by very fast and I can wear my rainbow shoes

Again since s Sebastian I can wear them Again the best shoe in the world hello I’m uh Dario CL I’m the mechanic of the of the team it’s my uh first are here I’m also the nephew of Remco and we already have an idea about the course itself because he already did it in 20 2019 I should check um it’s

Demanding course um heal course um so yeah it’s good to just have another look before uh real ra day Tomorrow New bik Day me P so with with this application we can uh basically also put in notifications uh during a Recon it’s super easy um and I just put it um two times there was a pth hole in the middle of the road so this is stuff that is quite important to

Say when the rider is just focused on on his performance um they’re in position often they don’t see that far in front of them so we can War Them yeah David class Mr CL blast Everything should be okay for one last push tomorrow uh pretty difficult time travel to pace so we’re going to have a good look at this in the afternoon uh and also with nutrition strategy and uh fueling during the race we’re going to have to see how we will manage it but I

Think it’s a DT that should suit me uh yep like I said one last push so for my last race of the season I received a a present first of all I don’t know how we say this in English but in Dutch we say the work po

Uh from feedback Sports it’s uh where Nicholas and Dario are working on on my bike uh but as you can see a new detail on my bike the seat post uh in the Fela there were some troubles with the the seat post but now you can see it’s the correct design of

The bike so the seat post is in the same colors as the frame which makes it a complete rainbow in the back and then something else I received from uh roal and specialized is the disc wheel as you can see normally uh there is no wheel here but normally the colors are the

Colors from outright but uh the people from outright and in Ral and specialized decided that I could have the world champion colors on my disc wheel and I think it’s a nice extra detail on the bike and when it the wheel spins you will see like a rainbow in a full

Circle uh then maybe some details about my setup for tomorrow so I will start with a beon because uh it’s quite a long time TR and it’s not necessarily for the for the heat because it’s not going to be super warm but it’s more to have some uh carbohydrates uh liquid carbohydrates

Do during the race so I will not run out of energy uh a 60 yeah chain ring uh actually the chain ring I always use uh also the setup I used in the uh World Championship uh there is a small ring inside 40 48 I think or 46 um but we will block

It on the big ring because it will not be necessary to use the small ring tomorrow uh and then front wheel will be an 880 um because it’s quite up and down uh I will grab it for you so 80 front wheel uh so it means 8 cm

Of uh I don’t know how you say it St uh no so 8 8 cm of height in the front disc um because the course is quite up and down we also have a 10 cm uh but that one is quite a bit heavier so that’s why

I will take the 80 uh and then yeah as usual my custom speed bar setup uh and that’s it actually so it’s my bike for tomorrow Even a this is our daily activity when I’m not on the bike and uh later in the afternoon I will play a game against the best of the Rest now we’re going to head down for Lunch so we are having lunch now the they before the race has arrived as well together with his girlfriend and uh also the doctor and his kid the other staff members have arrived and we have our personal chef in the daily life he works for team total energies but

Uh we will kidnap him with us uh so no I think it’s a perfect way to have a chef with us everybody has good food everybody is in a good mood so uh now we have the lunch and after everybody takes a siesta so now the chef is going to introduce himself 559 for the Z doctor and medium that’s for medium medium so I just prepared some presents for the staff that is here to help me and uh that is here to prepare the last race of the season with me uh as you can see I will give some caps t-shirts and

Hoodies of the 5519 collection which is the collection that we made for my victory in Sterling after the world championships down TR uh 5519 is of course the time that I rode to win the championship and the title so uh I think it’s a nice way to thank the staff for

The help uh that they will give me and that they gave me already in the last few days and tomorrow so uh I think it’s uh it’s a nice way to end off the season together in a positive environment and with some positive feelings and of

Course I hope they will like it and uh of course I’m wearing mine already Ready D was extra extra Sherk what a beautiful guy today’s day is over uh I’m going to jump in my bed now have some rest have some sleep hopefully then uh later in the day I will have massage from David uh then we will have dinner

After that and then of course we will just sit together with everybody to have a chilled evening uh but for now everything is over so I will have some more rest and then I will see you guys again tomorrow morning at the training ride and of

Course uh ahead of the start before the race and uh of course a lot of rest a lot of food in the stomach in the muscles in the blood because tomorrow is the last hour of full gas on the TT bike so see you guys Tomorrow For always Eating Ma For it’s cold today So I’m having my uh pre-ra meal we’re about 4 hours before the start and uh already since the Juniors I eat the same thing before a time trial and it’s some uh some pistolas with gem a banana some honey half liter of fanta and some uh chicken

Slices seems to be a good meal to prepare a TT because since I ate this I almost never fell off the podium so that’s why I still eat my pistolas what you eat me before a t omelette and rice omelette and rice yes and I always want raspberry gem it’s the only gem

I want to eat and David knows it so sometimes the day before TT he still has to go to the shop to get the raspberry gem it’s very Important three mon toys so what do I need for a TT uh shoe covers and socks my race number number one today my TT suits very important cuz I don’t want to ride naked bicarbonate this is the uh supplement we use for TTS because we create a lot of lactate and sodium

Reduces the lactate so uh it helps in going a bit deeper into the Red Zone this is why we use bicarbonate headphones very important um of course my Garmin very important as well to see the numbers uh what do I need more oh my shoes but I left them in the

Bus so that’s okay uh my nitrate also important nitrate and maybe an extra jacket for the warmup because it’s not very warm outside so maybe an extra jacket can be helpful black one without the sleeves that should be okay and also want to go to the starts okay that’s it backpack is

Ready I also always bring my charger of the phone because I have quite an old phone and my battery is dying pretty quickly so I have to bring my charger everywhere in the world maybe it’s a tip for II to give me an end of the season present Welcome doy go doy go be doy go B the fixer fix Be The Ground McDonald [Applause] L the B Off K The Super Do And bl up 1 on set anle Focus Open k sh 19 19 P Best so I’m done with my season ready to leave from lerb uh I became second today uh I think about 13 seconds from Joshua darling who won the race congrats to him uh for myself I think I can be pretty happy with the DT I did uh I think I

Could not really go faster uh then I went today everything went quite smooth um still had a bit of of pain in the elbow from the crash of lombardia but I think this is not going to cause uh my second place so I think I should be
