I really enjoy watching your videos every day. Greetings from Germany and wishing you all the best for the remaining days of the Tour.
Just about to order an Opinel nr 6! Picnic duties 😉🤌🏻
Keep up the good work team EF!
Good video!
I think you have the best and most authentic videos from tour, good job and thank you for good content
Love these videos. Great Work Richie and Ben. Forza Alberto! We need a whole episode about Ben's new hair.
thank you race tv! keep it up guys
I need one of those Supersix Evos
What can you do in a mountain stage when Pogacar and Vingegaard are climbing at speeds no other pro climber can match?
We're in a new generation of pro cycling and the rest of the top contenders can just limit their losses when the attacks from Tadej come. We know it and they know it too.
Best editors in the game! Thanks for pumping these out 🙂
MISS Magnus Cort ROOM
Wow, Ben had the legs to ride front of peleton and control for Richie, go back to the car and collect bottles and food for folk, be last EF rider standing in reduced GC group and potentially fight for the stage, and go back to bring Richie's yellow to the finish, that's incredible, just hope Ben's not been spready to thinly and going too deep early. Long way to go, definitely has the legs to win a stage.
What do I think of the bike?? That its one of the heaviest in the pro peloton lol
We share the same name ❤
