    Great St Bernard Pass (Italian side) – Switzerland raw runs [#1]



    First ride of the trip and first time seeing the Italian side of the Great Saint Bernard Pass. We ended up setting the fastest time down here which was a bonus as we were just stoked to get going on such a great road. No this isn’t in Switzerland but it was on the border and too good to miss out on. As always – ad free and early access available on Patreon.

      Beautiful mountain views. The road is nice and smooth with no pot holes or cracks. He's fast and daring. The cyclist with camera is another badass rider. WOW!!

      Nice roads make it possible to ride like this. Do this in San Francisco and you will end up in the hospital with all the pot holes on the road. Excellent ride!

      What camera setup is going on here, manages to accurately represent the speed in a way which go pro etc never seems to do

      Well, the number of traffic violations this guy racked up during this descent … I got fined 120 € a few years ago for crossing the full white line once, and this guy crosses to the left lane over the full white line so many times I lost count, plus overtaking of cars where not allowed, in the face of oncoming traffic because he didn't want to lose momentum (which clearly spooked the oncoming driver, you can hear the driver honk in the video), exceeding the maximum speed limit at several occasions (yes the maximum speed limit also applies to cyclists), …
      And for those arguing that he's a good descender with skills and experience, knows what he's doing, has a spotter to help him which makes what he's doing inherentely safe. I say bollocks, all well and true but traffic rules are not up for discussion. This video shows a wanton disregard for the rules, and is an exhibition of antisocial behaviour. Highly objectionable.

      Man I thoroughly enjoyed that. Kudos to the chasing camera. I think he's working off tiny body movement clues from the leader. A lot of trust there.
